Team

Mark McIntosh

Amputee & Trauma Lead

Mark has extensive experience in amputee rehabilitation and a proven history of leading interdisciplinary teams. At Hobbs Rehabilitation, Mark plays a central role in establishing the new amputee and trauma service in Bristol, ensuring that clients receive coordinated input from physiotherapists, occupational therapists, neuropsychologists, dieticians, nurses, and rehabilitation consultants. He is skilled in shaping rehabilitation pathways that align closely with each client’s personal goals, applying an evidence-based, functional, and progressive model of care.

After graduating from the University of Birmingham in 2010 with a First-Class (Hons) degree in Physiotherapy, Mark spent thirteen years working across NHS and private settings. His clinical work has focused on treating amputees and individuals with complex trauma and neurological conditions, across both inpatient and outpatient environments, before further developing his expertise as a case manager with ICM.

Mark’s motivation remains centred on integrated, team-based rehabilitation, the use of emerging technology, and a functional, client-driven approach to recovery. His work continues to take him across the UK and abroad where required, supporting clients in achieving meaningful and measurable improvements.

He is highly experienced in assessing and prescribing adaptive equipment, including wheelchairs and seating systems, to facilitate optimal independence and function.

Mark has a particular passion for combining rehabilitation with adaptive outdoor and sporting activities. He leads the development of Hobbs Rehabilitation’s adaptive sports programme at the Chedington site in Dorset, creating opportunities for clients to re‑engage with meaningful and challenging physical pursuits.

During his time overseas, Mark established New Zealand’s first funded adaptive sports service. This experience helped shape his enthusiasm for solving unconventional and often complex problems—situations frequently considered “too difficult” or “not possible”. Whether supporting a spinal client who wishes to return to open-water swimming, an amputee determined to ride a mountain bike again, or a client with a brain injury aiming to ski, Mark works collaboratively to explore what may be achievable. This often involves creative adaptation of equipment, technique, mindset, or environment to help clients reconnect with their personal goals after life-changing injury.
