About Novar Sports Physio

Adrian is an experienced physiotherapist with over 13 years of clinical experience, dedicated to helping people move better, recover faster, and continue living active, healthy lives.

Throughout his career, Adrian has worked with Hockey SA, the Adelaide Hills and Country Football Clinic, and several local sporting teams, gaining valuable insight into injury prevention, recovery, and performance for athletes at all levels.

Before becoming a physiotherapist, Adrian spent 10 years training and competing in Kickboxing and Muay Thai, including time training in Thailand and competing in Melbourne. These experiences taught him the physical and mental demands of sport, and the importance of recovery, nutrition, and balance — lessons that strongly influence his holistic and practical approach to physiotherapy today.

Adrian is passionate about helping his patients overcome injury, return to sport, and maintain an active lifestyle that fits around work and family life. He understands the challenge of finding time for health and exercise — not just as a physiotherapist, but as a busy dad himself.

Outside the clinic, Adrian is a dedicated family man. He and his wife are proud parents to two young boys. When he’s not treating patients, he’s often out and about with his family, whether it’s weekend road trips or enjoying time outdoors together. At home, Adrian enjoys gardening and keeping active through regular exercise.

He’s also a big NBA fan (cheering on the Chicago Bulls) and loves following sport in all its forms. Adrian connects strongly with the many parents and athletes he treats who are trying to stay fit, healthy, and engaged in sport while juggling busy family lives.
