Jacob’s passion for sport and fitness began at an early age through his involvement in competitive basketball. Growing up on the court, he dedicated countless hours to improving his performance and competing at a high level. However, recurring knee injuries during his playing years forced him to step away from the game he loved. It was during this challenging time that Jacob discovered his love for the gym — not only as a tool for recovery, but as a new passion that sparked his lifelong interest in strength training, rehabilitation, and athletic performance.
Alongside his own training, Jacob gained years of experience coaching basketball teams and teaching swimming lessons, developing his ability to connect with athletes and support them in reaching their potential. His commitment to sport and rehab deepened when he worked as a student trainer for his university basketball team, where he helped athletes recover from injuries and safely return to play. These experiences cemented his desire to pursue a career in physiotherapy and inspired him to use his knowledge to help others overcome setbacks.
Jacob went on to study physiotherapy at the Manchester Metropolitan University in the UK, graduating in 2025. His education, combined with hands-on experience in coaching, rehab, and training, has given him a well-rounded understanding of both the science and the art of movement. He is passionate about blending evidence-based physiotherapy principles with personalized fitness strategies to help clients build strength, prevent injury, and achieve sustainable progress.
Now at PMF, Jacob’s mission is clear: to help people feel their best, regain confidence in their bodies, and get back to doing the things they love. Whether guiding someone through rehabilitation, designing a strength program, or motivating clients to push past their limits, he is dedicated to supporting each individual on their personal fitness journey.
