ABOUT US
The 99 Physio mission is to help people get back to doing what they want to do as soon as possible and learn how to stay pain-free so they can thrive in all aspects of life.
Our Approach
At 99 Physio, our goal is to get you back to what you need to do and thrive in all facets of life.
We understand pain doesn’t just affect you physically, but also your mental state and also how you interact with others. So we approach our care with a holistic lens, offering 1 on 1 patient-centred care with hands-on treatment and corrective exercise programming.
With training in physiotherapy, exercise physiology and an appreciation of the mind-body connection, we have years of experience managing pain, tightness and muscle tension. All patients will leave with an understanding of how they got hurt, relief from their pain and a plan to prevent future pain and progress.
As a Rhodes local, Jonathan is passionate about enhancing the health and wellness of the broader community.

Jonathan’s Story
When he was a teenager, Jonathan developed a year long chronic knee injury from poor gym technique that left him unable to squat or walk without pain. After spending hundreds of dollars on multiple physios and seeing minimal results, he decided to research and figure it out and was able to fix himself. Soon after he decided he wanted to help others who were left with a negative physiotherapy experience and he completed a Bachelors of Exercise Physiology and Masters of Physiotherapy.
Experience
Jonathan has 7 years of clinical experience as an exercise physiologist and a physiotherapist, as well as 10 years of lifting weights in the gym. He has competed in bodybuilding at the national level (IFBB Men’s Physique), ran the HOKA half marathon and has played representative touch football and volleyball.
Mission
Jonathan’s goal is to help people get back to doing what they want to do as soon as possible and learning how to stay pain-free so they can thrive in all aspects of life. He is passionate against unethical practices and wants to educate people to sift thru the BS and get permanent results. Jonathan values integrity and only makes recommendations he has trialed himself.
Jonathan also believes in a holistic approach to treatment, taking account not only the physical injury but how mindset and social factors play a role in the individual’s pain. He is influenced by Dr Gabor Mate and Bessel Van Der Kolk’s work.
Beyond Physiotherapy
Outside of his professional pursuits, Jonathan enjoys going camping, spirituality, going to the gym and personal development.
