Bryan has recently been awarded the IBFI 2020 Travel and CPD Grant. “I have been working in musculoskeletal medicine for over 13 years. I have been a passionate cyclist since I can remember so combining these two loves was a no brainer. I have worked with cyclists from commuters to elite athletes and always found the need to help these riders beyond seeing them in clinic.”
