Sports Physio
Whether it’s a sporting injury, work related, or an injury you’ve picked up elsewhere, our physiotherapy and exercise physiology programs will support you as you undertake the rehabilitation process.
We offer individualised programs devised to aid in the recovery and rehabilitation of your injury, including ACL injuries. Our supportive environment, where specialists are always on hand to answer your questions, means that when you rehab at AAC you have support at every stage of the journey.
Our in-house physiotherapists work with our exercise physiologists and allied health professionals to provide holistic support throughout your entire rehab journey. Your treatment is strategically coordinated, and tailored to your goals so you get the best outcome possible.
With a full range of in-house injury rehab services all under one roof, you will benefit from a comprehensive approach that is based on communication and collaboration, and which informs your training at every stage so that you’re back on the field as soon as possible.
Recovering from a long-term injury can be a scary and solitary experience, but at AAC you can undertake your journey with other athletes and a full support team behind you, from day 1 of your injury all the way to when you’re back playing.
We offer multiple NDIS services, and provide rehab designed to help you return to work after injury. This includes support for people with musculoskeletal and neural injuries, as well as individuals with a range of special needs.

Brad’s passion for sports physiotherapy is palpable, and his experience reflects this commitment. He has special interest and experience in several key areas, including:
Brad also currently serves as a Pathways Physiotherapist at the South Australian Cricket Association (SACA). He works closely with U19 and U17 male and female pathway squads, and provides additional senior coverage for the Redbacks, 2nd XI, and Scorpions squads.
Brad is a dynamic and dedicated Physiotherapist, constantly expanding his knowledge and expertise to provide the best care for athletes.

The AAC team of physiotherapsits, exercise physiologists and coaches have extensive experience of working with athletes in almost every category of sport — which also means we are able to help provide rehab services for most, if not all sporting injuries.
Our injury rehabilitation programs are designed to guide athletes from day 1 of their rehab right through to their return to sport. In addition, we design a program to help prevent an athlete from losing all of their conditioning, speed and strength during the recovery process. This means they get back to peak performance quicker, as well as reducing the risk of further injury.
Normatec compression therapy, massage guns, and ice bath access are all included in select membership tiers. Our physiotherapists also offer dry needling and manual therapy treatments to help keep you fit and recover from training faster.
Although we are a high performance centre catering to the needs of elite and semi-pro athletes and sporting teams at the highest levels, we are always happy to work with anyone who has suffered an injury and requires rehabilitation to get back to full health and fitness.
