Kosta Ikonomou
I have over a decade of professional experience combining clinical expertise with elite sports involvement. I've served as a physiotherapist for Chelsea FC Academy in London, where I managed on-field injuries and collaborated with a diverse team. Concurrently, I conducted pre-season screenings for the GB Olympic diving team. My passion is assisting diverse private patients in achieving their health and fitness goals.
Currently, I am the team physiotherapist for the Vancouver Bandits, a professional basketball team in the CEBL. I hold a master's degree in Sports Medicine, Exercise, and Health from University College London, along with a FIFA Sports Medicine Diploma. My educational background also includes a BSc (Hons) in Physiotherapy from Brunel University and a BSc in Human Kinetics from the University of Fraser Valley. I've pursued postgraduate certifications in corrective exercise specialist, Dry Needling, and Vestibular Rehabilitation from Duke University.
I emphasize evidence-based treatments and data-driven healthcare advancements in my research. I've presented my research at conferences, including the British Association of Sport and Exercise Medicine's annual fall conference in 2018 and the 6th International Conference on Concussion in Sport in Amsterdam. My work has focused on the effects of fatigue on the vestibular oculomotor screen in male university rugby and sedentary participants. I've applied this expertise to assist U-sports and Olympic snowboard athletes in concussion and vestibular rehabilitation.
