Ilias founded Muscle & Bone with a simple belief — if you treat the system properly, the body responds.

Starting from a single treatment room in Prahran over 13 years ago, he built Muscle & Bone into a multi-modality clinic grounded in performance, structure, and results. His approach blends myotherapy, movement restoration, strength principles, and advanced soft tissue techniques to address both the muscular and structural drivers of pain.

Ilias works with athletes, high performers, and everyday clients who want more than temporary relief. His treatments are direct, hands-on, and outcome focused — designed to restore capacity, improve resilience, and elevate performance.

For seven years, Ilias worked within the AFL system at Hawthorn, gaining firsthand exposure to the standards required at the elite level. He travelled to the United States to observe high-performance environments, following the Utah Jazz during the NBA playoffs and observing at the Denver Broncos training complex.

These experiences allowed him to study how elite athletes recover, prepare, and return to performance under pressure. Throughout his career, Ilias has worked with a wide range of high-level athletes across multiple sports, consistently looking for the small details that separate good rehabilitation from exceptional performance preparation. He is known for thinking beyond conventional frameworks when managing complex injuries that require precision and creative problem solving.

Ilias also utilises electro-needling to assist with neuromuscular activation, pain modulation, and improving muscle recruitment — particularly in cases where restoring connection and control is essential for return to performance.

Outside the clinic, Ilias follows Arsenal as if it’s his religion, is a passionate St Kilda supporter, and loves discovering new restaurants — proudly calling himself a foodie.

Muscle & Bone reflects his philosophy:
You have muscle. You have bone. You need both.
