Adam Walker
Director, Head of Rehabilitation and Physiotherapist – Gold Coast Knee Group
PhD Candidate (ACL Rehabilitation) – Bond University

I have spent a lot of time in the clinic, on the sidelines, completing endless professional development and had the opportunity to work with and be mentored by some of the best in the business. With experience it became clear that I loved treating knees!

The Gold Coast Knee Group started 7 years ago with our now industry leading ACL reconstruction program to help athletes return to sport and avoid reinjury and pain. 

I was loving it so much I started a PhD titled “The Optimisation of ACL Rehabilitation”. It has been a lot of work. Countless hours reading research, collecting data and writing papers. All in the pursuit of optimal rehab. Excitingly, I am in the final stages and am due to graduate in June!

I have now seen 100s of ACL patients and completed 1000s of consultations with people with knee pain and have grown the service to cater for anybody with knee pain or injury from young to old.

We are now a group of dedicated clinicians and researchers striving to improve rehabilitation from knee injuries by:

  • Servicing patients with knee injuries across 4 clinics on the Gold Coast.
    • Bond Physiotherapy and Sports Medicine
    • Palm Beach Physio and Sports Rehab
    • Pindara Physiotherapy and Sports Medicine 
    • Runaway Bay Physiotherapy and Sports Medicine
  • Specialising in the management of ACL injuries, sporting injuries and knee osteoarthritis and TKR.
  • Conducting research with Bond University with a focus on improving patients’ outcomes
  • Educating and lecture to students in the Bond University, Doctor of Physiotherapy program.

If your staff need any assistance in setting up or sending referrals or EPC plans please get in touch.

Yours in knee health,

Adam Walker

Couldn’t recommend Adam and the physios at Gold Coast Knee Group enough! It’s awesome to have their guidance and advice whilst completing the rehab and they’ve given me a lot of confidence as I get closer to returning to sport!

My ACL injury made me realise not only how much physical recovery was involved, but how much mental recovery was also needed. Adam, Dan and Yas were there every step of the way and helped set me up to come back to sports. As a coach now, I try to incorporate the lessons they taught me to rising athletes to reduce the risk of knee injury occurring to them. Couldn't recommend GCKG more!

Injury ACL & meniscus tear. I found out about this program through my surgeon and I am thankful for that. I started the program after some initial minor rehab post surgery. The change from day 1 to the end of the program was significant. I recall asking by the end which knee I had actually injured. The program and the team helped physically but also mentally, which is almost as important when considering a return to sport. This was a few years ago so I'm sure the program has only improved since then.

The staff at GCKG are amazing, some of the nicest and welcoming people i have met. Not only are they caring but phenomenal at what they do to improve others well being and push you to achieve new goals. I have an ACL injury and the staff at this clinic have improved my confidence, provided me the best workouts for my knee to get stronger and have consistently motivated me to push myself harder each session, they truly are amazing.

Adam and the team at the Gold Coast Knee Group were the best in assisting me to recover from my ACL, MCL & meniscus injury. At each testing stage, I saw major improvements and now, around 2 years post injury, I have been back playing AFL for the past 6 months with no issues. There is also a great social element to the group as there are other individuals who have gone through the same injury that you are also completing rehab with! Highly recommend.
