About Mana:
Mana Shigematsu is the owner and physiotherapist of Ikaika: Integrated Recovery & Performance. His background and expertise in exercise and physiotherapy go well beyond the walls of a university.
His passion for injury rehabilitation was ignited at the age of 15 when he experienced a severe knee injury that was mismanaged for five years. He underwent his first joint surgery at the age of 20 and came to realise what the human body was capable of. Doctors told him he would not be able to perform in sport the same again, would have arthritis and his knees would not be the same again. Fast forward to now and four more surgeries later (six in total due to traumatic sports injuries), and he is doing all the things he wants to do pain-free.
Over the past eight years, he has worked with a massive variety of individuals from the elderly who need falls prevention programs, to professional surfers and soccer players. He obtained his Bachelor of Science in Exercise at Colorado Mesa University in 2013 and then his Doctor of Physiotherapy from Bond University in 2021. He also is a certified epigenetics health coach endorsed by ph360. Some of his experience includes:
- Rehab wards in hospital
- In-patient Stroke Unit
- Persistent Pain Clinic
- Private Practice
- New South Wales Police Physiotherapy and Strength & Conditioning
- Advocate for NDIS and Work Cover patients
- Personal Training
- Online Coaching
- Currently Physiotherapist for the Gold Coast Knights Men’s Team
Mana’s special interests and passions lie in the areas of musculoskeletal, post-operative (orthopaedic), chronic pain management, epigenetics, stroke, early-stage Parkinson’s Disease, vestibular rehab and sports physiotherapy. People say to niche down, but he wants to help as many people as possible and would hate to see his skills in a variety of areas go to waste.
Only individuals who are committed to change and want to make themselves a priority should inquire. If you’re excited to start a new journey and take control of your health, book with Mana TODAY!
