Dr. Jim Webb

Jim is a highly experienced clinician with over 30 years of diverse clinical practice. He is qualified as both an Osteopath and Physiotherapist and was the first Advanced Osteopath in Rehabilitation in New Zealand.

Jim began his career in the UK NHS, where his clinical skill and systems thinking quickly led him into elite sport. He went on to work with several English Premier League football clubs, including Manchester City, Chelsea, and Tottenham Hotspur. During his decade in professional football, he contributed to integrated medical and performance environments at the highest level of the game. Following this, Jim became Lead Physiotherapist/Osteopath at the English Institute of Sport.

After relocating to New Zealand, Jim founded Integrated Health Otago, building a reputation for managing complex, multi-system presentations where musculoskeletal dysfunction intersected with metabolic, neurological, gastrointestinal, and hormonal factors. A significant and growing focus of his clinical work has been women’s health, particularly persistent pain, pelvic and hormonal influences on musculoskeletal function, fatigue, and trauma-informed care.

Jim is a trauma-informed practitioner with extensive experience supporting clients who have experienced sexual trauma. This work has deeply shaped his person-centred approach, emphasising safety, trust, nervous system regulation, and collaborative rehabilitation.

Alongside hands-on clinical care, Jim has played an influential role in shaping professional standards within the field. He contributed to the development of policies, procedures, and standards for Osteopathic Advanced Practice in Rehabilitation, helping formalise career pathways and establish special interest groups to support advanced practitioners.

At Kinematics, Jim combines clinical excellence with strategic leadership. Through mentoring, professional development, and system-level thinking, he helps shape a multidisciplinary, end-to-end model of care that prioritises long-term function, resilience, and performance. His influence extends beyond individual treatment sessions, strengthening clinicians, systems, and standards to continually raise the bar for what modern healthcare can deliver.

Whether working with high-level athletes, active individuals seeking performance longevity, or patients living with chronic pain, women’s health concerns, or trauma-related conditions, Jim’s focus remains the same: identifying root causes, restoring capacity, and delivering sustainable, meaningful change.

Outside the clinic, Jim enjoys running, cycling, swimming, exploring Melbourne, and spending time immersed in nature.

Jim is at Kinematics Monday to Friday.
