Adelaide West Physiotherapy

I have been to a bunch of physiotherapists about a shoulder issue. No real luck despite best efforts. My luck changed when a leading orthopaedic surgeon recommended Kate Gladney at Adelaide West. I decided to have one last go. I followed Kates instructions and her treatment plan. My symptoms have declined by about 90 percent to the point that I hardly think about it anymore. Beyond my own care, Ive sent many friends and colleagues to Kate with unanimously positive results. Update 1 year later: my shoulder is now way stronger than its ever been. Whenever any issues pop up with other parts of my body from sports stuff, Kate takes care of it pronto. She's a marvel.

My first visit to Adelaide West was in 2009 after a L4-L5 partial-Discectomy surgery. I had seen many practitioners with no relief. Karl was kind and talked me through his techniques which made me feel comfortable. He helped manage a lot of fear I had gotten from my surgeon about never being able to run or do any sports ever again and had me back to work as a hairstylist in 2 weeks! He also Encouraged me to try reformer pilates which has been a total game changer. I now feel comfortable taking on any physical challenge. Karl, Kate and the team are there for me whenever something pinches or aches and they usually deliver relief in a single session. My husband and many family members go to see him too. As a hairstylist I have seen many physios as clients and they all hold Adelaide west and Karl in high regard. Many have even studied under them. Courtney and Kathy at the front desk are relaxed and treat you like family and theyll always go out of their way to get you in when you need it. Save yourself the pain and trouble and go here first!

Thank you Kate!! My back is so much happier today. I highly recommend this clinic. I've seen 3 of the PTs at this clinic over the years and they are all deeply knowledgable and highly skilled. Impressive.

I have been coming here for years, it's a great place. I followed Mai Ly from her previous clinic because she is top notch. She's worked on various injuries, aches, pains of mine for years. From a seriously swollen Achilles to a rotator cuff tear to a sprained MCL and many others in between. She also does dry needling if you can handle it. I recommend her to everyone. She's also super fun and loves pop culture, which comes in handy when you feel the jolt from the needle and need a distraction.
