ALPHA Sports Medicine Clinic
Our Qualifications and Training
supports you through your recovery and healing journey
Overview
All practitioners at our clinic are nationally qualified and, where applicable, registered in their profession. Our team comprises osteopaths, physiotherapists, chiropractors, myotherapists, and exercise physiologists.
We aim to comply with national professional and advertising standards, use language consistent with registration requirements (no specialist claims), and avoid unsubstantiated therapeutic claims or implying guaranteed, risk‑free outcomes.
Care is provided within each practitioner’s scope and informed by current guidelines and education. If you’re unsure about our services or a practitioner’s scope, please contact us we’re happy to clarify.
