Welcome Brooke Howard to the Ducker Physio team at both of our locations at Magill & Salisbury.

Brooke's very happy, friendly and relaxed demeanour along with her professional skills will be a great asset to our business of 34 years. She will be consulting in both the rooms and small gym / group classes.

Brooke graduated from the University of South Australia with a Bachelor’s Degree with Honours in Physiotherapy in 2025. She also has experience in medical reception, gym-based classes and hydrotherapy, helping with her knowledge of processes both in front of and behind the desk.

Her areas of interest include musculoskeletal injuries, gym-based small classes and sporting injuries. She is passionate about helping patients get back to what is most meaningful to them in their lives through evidence-based practice.

Personally, Brooke enjoys netball, going to the gym, and can be found baking during her spare time. .

A wonderful FT fulfilling and rewarding physiotherapy job opportunity mostly at a busy northern private hospital.

Great reception opportunity!

14/12/2021

To All of Our Current & Future Patients:

As of Monday 13th Dec 2021 if you are attending an appointment with Ducker Physio you are required by SA Health to continue signing in when attending our premises, via the numerous displayed QR Codes in our reception area, as well as wear a face mask at all times whether in the reception area or actually being treated by a physiotherapist inside a cubicle.

You will also be asked to verify your vaccination status so your treating physiotherapist can use the required PPE for your status.

If you have a GP verified medical reasons not to wear a mask, this will be accepted, and again the necessary required PPE will be used when treating you.

If you have chosen not to be fully vaccinated (14 days after your 2nd covid vaccination) and you choose not to wear a mask / medical reasons not to wear a mask, then unfortunately we cannot treat you at this point of time as we cannot fully protect all other patients, visitors, reception staff or treating physiotherapists.

Thank you for your cooperation.
