Adrian is back in his role as Principal Physiotherapist where he belongs after spending some time at our National Head Office as the Practice Network Manager overseeing our Blackburn South, Tecoma & Clayton practices as well as our corporate division, Actif. He is now back to what he does best… leading an enthusiastic team and offering his clients the best service possible.
Adrian (a 10-year ‘veteran’ physiotherapist) is the ultimate “go to” man when in need of some friendly advice, whether it is in regards to an injury, a personal situation, or simply his footy tips for the weekend.
Nothing puts a bigger smile on Adrian’s face than seeing his old clients (yes, from more than 8 years ago - you do the math!?!?) in the reception area and having a quick catch up, it definitely makes all of the hard work and long hours, WORTH IT!

Alex’s passion for Physiotherapy is evident and almost contagious from your very first meeting with him. If there is anything he does not know about a certain injury, be certain it will not be for very long, as soon as a task or challenge presents itself, Alex tackles it head on and presents 100% on the topic.
Sports injuries are Alex’s specialty as he volunteers for the AFL team the Kangaroos (yes, he is a supporter, even though he is a Western Australian) as Physiotherapist for the team on top of his full time position at Back In Motion, Wantirna South.
Alex’s proactive and enthusiastic approach to all facets of the Back in Motion business has recently seen him being promoted to Clinical Supervisor (Senior Physio) where he will be actively involved with mentoring other staff and will be the key contact and coordinator for many of our contracts.

Away from his work as a physio, Ben plays a variety of musical instruments including piano and bass guitar in a progressive metal band ‘aronora’ (check them out @ http://www.aronora.com!).

Erin first presented to Back In Motion as a patient, and basically never left! On any given day you can always find at least one of Erin’s family members in our clinic receiving Physiotherapy treatment or in a pilates class, they are now all honorary members of the Back In Motion team! Erin has successfully completed Diploma of Medical Administration and can more often than not, be found sharing a giggle in the reception area with our clients.
Erin’s motto in life is simple, “everyone deserves music - sweet, sweet music!” and in her time away from work, she loves taking time out with her family and friends - and spends all of her money on tickets to music festivals and handbags from the Kate Hill store!!
Danica is the friendly voice on the other end of the phone, your welcoming first point of contact with our practice. Her positive outlook is contagious, and makes her a great asset to our team – especially after making the transition from patient of the clinic, to an employee and a part of the BIM family! Danica has a keen interest in all sports, especially swimming (she is also a part-time swimming teacher) and netball.
Danica was previously employed as a full time Chiropractic Assistant but has gone back to university to study Nursing so she needed more flexible part-time hours. This is when we snapped her up, and the rest is history!
