We are expanding and adding two recent physios

- Do you feel like you want a change from physio, not seeing the same things day after day?

- Are you a clinician who wants a caseload of runners and lower limb injuries — not a churn of lower backs?

- Did you get into physio because you loved sport and being active yourself, and you want a job that actually reflects that?

- Is your true passion in physio is lower limb biomechanics, musculoskeletal and running injuries?

- A long term permanent role and intrigued with the opportunity to be a part owner?

The Caseload

How would a caseload that is 80% filled up with plantar heel pain, Achilles tendinopathy, patellofemoral pain, Shin Pain, Sever’s, ITB Syndrome, knee OA, gluteal tendinopathy and GTPS, proximal hamstring tendinopathy, calf and hamstring strains, bone stress injuries, ankle sprains and syndesmosis injuries, and return-to-run and return-to-sport rehabilitation sound like to you?

This is the work — load management, exercise prescription, strength and conditioning, running gait retraining, and getting people back to the thing they love.

The reason you want to be in private practice is simple: you want a caseload you genuinely love seeing, you want to be paid well for it, you want teammates who back you, and you want flexible hours that fit your life.

You'll be joining a tight-knit, multidisciplinary team who love being around each other. We have new grads and early-career practitioners who are excelling, supported by a culture where the whole team helps each other grow. Whether you have one year under your belt or several, you'll be brought along the same way.

The reason you may want to work in private practice is because you wish to have a patient caseload you love seeing, you want to be paid well ($100K+), have awesome team-mates and flexible working hours.

You’ll be joining a tight knit team of 15 who love being around each. We currently have new team members who are excelling. They are being supported by ‘our village’ where all team members support them to transition to the new working environment. Whether you are a new grad or have a couple of years of experience you will be exactly the same.

About You

Are you a motivated physio who wants to sharpen your running and lower limb MSK skills — skills that maybe haven't had the runway to develop because of the caseloads you've been stuck with?

Did you become a physio because you loved sport and being active yourself, and you want to spend your days with patients who are chasing the same things?





Do you have a genuine thirst to develop your clinical knowledge and deliver outcomes that go above and beyond?

Are you a fun, personable, outgoing practitioner who wants to join a vibrant, supportive team that strives for the best patient care — and has a lot of fun doing it?

Maybe your career so far hasn't tracked the way you wanted, but you know there's a better opportunity waiting. This is it.

We hire on ATTITUDE and DESIRE. The clinical skills, we can teach.

About us

We're a well-established and progressive practice focused on sporting, running and lower limb musculoskeletal injuries, known for excellent patient outcomes.

With over 25 years of history and more than 50,000 clients, we're continuing to expand thanks to a strong patient following, deep medical referrer networks and an excellent community reputation. We grew right through the Covid period rather than going backwards.

We've invested approximately $1 million in state-of-the-art technology and team training to get the best outcomes for our patients, including:

- 9 Radial Shockwave machines and 2 Focal Shockwave machine

- 2 Computerised AI Gait Analysis systems

- 3 High-Powered Class 4 Photobiomodulation Cold Laser machines

- 2 VALD state-of-the-art dynamometers

- In-house CAD/CAM 3D laser scanning and 3D-printed custom orthotic manufacturing

Why this role is different

You'll be adding a new dimension to our patient care. We're a MSK practice at the forefront of lower limb outcomes in Adelaide, and we want two physios who can take that even further — owning the rehab, strength and return-to-sport side of the runner's journey alongside our biomechanics team.

What we offer:

- 35 years of clinical and biomechanics mentorship you can tap into whenever you like

- Weekly 60-minute clinical professional development sessions as a team

- Two Weekly 30-minute one-on-one with a senior practitioner

- Over $1500 per year in external professional development — your choice of courses to build the skills you want

We feel we are at the forefront of patient outcomes in Adelaide and need you to take us from 5-star ratings to 6 star!

Your development program

We'll build your running and lower limb skillset deliberately:

- Practitioner-to-patient communication and consult flow





- Computerised running gait analysis (transverse and sagittal planes) and gait retraining

- Tendinopathy loading programs — Achilles, patellar, gluteal, proximal hamstring

- Introduction to Shockwave Therapy for tendinopathy and plantar heel pain

- Introduction to High-Powered Class 4 Photobiomodulation Cold Laser

- Introduction to Dry Needling

- Objective strength testing and return-to-sport criteria using VALD dynamometry

- Bone stress injury management and return-to-run programming

- Patellofemoral pain, ITB syndrome and the runner's knee

- Shin pain and MTSS intensive

- Foot and ankle injuries — sprains, syndesmosis, return to play

- Weekly strength and conditioning sessions

You'll also work alongside a podiatry team running advanced orthotic prescription and in-house 3D-printed device manufacturing — so when a patient needs the footwear and biomechanical side handled, it's right there, not a referral out the door.

We offer 35 years of clinical experience in mentorship which you can access whenever you like.

Weekly 60-minute Clinical Professional Development Sessions as a Team.

Two Weekly 30-minute One-on-One with Senior Practitioners.
