Dan is a CORU-registered Chartered Physiotherapist and qualified Strength & Conditioning coach with a strong background in musculoskeletal and sports rehabilitation.

He holds a Postgraduate Master’s degree in Sport and Exercise Medicine from Trinity College Dublin, completed in 2023, having first qualified as a physiotherapist from the Medical University in Plovdiv, Bulgaria in 2019. Since then he has worked intensively across the musculoskeletal field, completing further training in Manual Therapy, Ergon Therapy, Kinesio Taping, Shockwave Therapy and Dry Needling.

Dan assesses and treats the full range of musculoskeletal and sports injuries — from back and neck pain to shoulder, hip, and knee problems, tendon injuries, and post-surgical rehabilitation. His approach combines hands-on manual therapy with progressive, strength-based rehabilitation, helping people move well, return to the activities they love, and stay pain-free for the long term. As a qualified Strength & Conditioning coach, he’s particularly skilled at bridging the gap between finishing rehab and rebuilding real, lasting strength.

Alongside his general MSK work, Dan has developed a special interest in bone health, managing osteoporosis and osteopenia. As a certified Lifestyle Medicine practitioner through the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, he brings a whole-person perspective — considering how movement, nutrition, sleep, and daily habits influence strength, resilience, and quality of life as we age.

His path into healthcare began on the gym floor. Starting out as a fitness instructor in 2011, he spent years helping people of all ages lose weight, build strength, and take control of their health — an experience that shaped his belief in evidence-based, movement-first care and led him to formal qualifications in exercise, nutrition, and strength and conditioning.

A competitive athlete at heart, Dan is an eight-year bodybuilding competitor and former member of the Bulgarian National Bodybuilding Team, with extensive experience supporting high-level athletes across bodybuilding, weightlifting, and CrossFit.
