🟢 Physiotherapist – Part-Time or Full-Time (3+ years experience)

Western Suburbs, Adelaide

I’m looking for an experienced private practice physiotherapist to join me at Novar Sports Physio as the second physio in the clinic.

This isn’t a replacement role or a corporate clinic job.

You’ll be growing the clinic alongside me, with dedicated admin/reception support so you can focus on being a physio.

This role will suit you if you:
✅ Have 3+ years private practice experience
✅ Live in or near Adelaide’s Western Suburbs
✅ Are confident treating independently
✅ Enjoy sports, gym-based rehab, and active clients
✅ Value mentoring, autonomy, and high clinical standards
✅ Want to be part of a small, growing clinic where your input genuinely matters

🚫 This role is not suitable for new graduate physiotherapists.

What the role looks like:
• Part-time or full-time, depending on the right fit
• Approx. 25–38 hours per week, flexible
• You’ll be the second physio, working directly with me as the owner
• Supported by admin/reception staff — no juggling phones, bookings, or payments
• Your caseload is built progressively, with support
• Mix of musculoskeletal, sports, and active lifestyle clients
• Purpose-built rehab gym
• Supportive, down-to-earth clinic culture
• Long-term opportunity as the clinic continues to grow

If you’re an experienced physio who enjoys doing good work, continuing to learn, and being part of building something — this could be a great fit.

👉 If this sounds like you, you’re welcome to either send me a DM for a confidential chat, or apply directly via the job page on our website (link below).

Not all knee pain in runners is the same.
Here’s when it might be your meniscus:

🏃‍♂️ swelling after longer runs
🏃‍♂️ pain during twisting or deep bending
🏃‍♂️ clicking or catching
🏃‍♂️ downhill running feels uncomfortable
🏃‍♂️ pain returns quickly when you increase volume

If this sounds familiar, you might be dealing with a meniscal issue — and the sooner you get clarity, the sooner you get back to running pain-free.

👉 Comment RUN if you want our running return checklist
👉 Share with a running buddy

If you’re experiencing ANY of these, your knee is asking for help:

❗ swelling after training
❗ sharp pain during twisting or squatting
❗ clicking/catching
❗ feeling of instability
❗ loss of confidence in your knee

You don’t need to guess what’s going on — we can assess your knee, explain what’s happening, and guide you back to your sport with a clear plan.

If you’ve irritated your meniscus, here’s what actually works.

1️⃣ Reduce swelling + restore movement
2️⃣ Rebuild quad + glute strength
3️⃣ Improve knee control + landing mechanics
4️⃣ Gradually return to running (not all at once!)
5️⃣ Add sport-specific drills before going full speed

A structured progression = a confident return to training.

Not sure where to start? That’s what we’re here for.

👉 Tag someone coming back from a knee injury

Before you book a surgeon — here’s what every athlete should know.

Most meniscal injuries do not require surgery.
Most athletes recover with:
✔ targeted strength
✔ knee control training
✔ progressive loading
✔ sport-specific drills

Surgery is typically only needed when:
• the knee locks
• you can’t fully straighten it
• the tear is large/unstable
• structured rehab hasn’t helped

If you’re unsure which path is right for your knee, we can guide you with a clear, confident plan.

👉 Save this — you’ll want it later
👉 Send this to someone considering surgery

Most athletes assume you need a dramatic twist or tackle to injure your meniscus…
But the truth is more subtle.

Runners: often irritated from repetitive load or sudden training increases.
Field & court athletes: usually from sharp direction changes, awkward landings, or deceleration under fatigue.

If your knee feels sharp, swollen, unstable, or “jammed,” early assessment makes a huge difference.

We help athletes make smart decisions about knee pain — and return to training sooner.

👉 Share this with your team
👉 DM us the word KNEE if you’d like an opinion

Does your knee feel “off” when you run, jump or change direction?
This is one of the most common early signs of a meniscus issue — especially in runners, netballers, basketballers, and field sport athletes.

Your meniscus helps absorb shock, stabilise the knee, and support quick directional changes. When irritated or torn, you might notice:
• swelling after training
• a sharp pinch when bending
• clicking or catching
• reduced confidence in movement

The good news? Most meniscal injuries recover without surgery when treated early.

If knee pain is slowing your training down, we can help you get back to full speed.

👉 Save this for later
👉 Tag a teammate who always complains about their knee

Old advice: “Rest it.”
New advice: “Move it (safely)!” ✅

Gentle movement and guided rehab help your ankle heal stronger and faster.
That’s why physiotherapy focuses on movement — not just rest.
