Adam Horwitz

Physiotherapist


Adam spent 8 years honing his physiotherapy skills in private practices across the Sunshine Coast and Brisbane. He holds an Applied Science degree in Exercise and Sports Science and a Master of Physiotherapy, both from The University of Sydney.

Adam has completed further training in Western Acupuncture and Dry Needling and has undertaken extensive professional development in managing shoulder pain, headaches, TMJ disorders (jaw dysfunction), vestibular issues (including vertigo), and spinal pathologies.

With a background in football, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and squash, Adam brings first-hand experience in injury management and performance optimisation. He integrates a variety of evidence-based techniques to assess and treat injuries, combining hands-on therapy—including joint mobilisations and dry needling—with clear, practical advice and tailored exercise programs.

His hospital-based experience provides him with a solid foundation in the medical management of complex conditions and the physical impact of hospitalisation. He has worked closely with some of Australia’s leading orthopaedic surgeons and has helped many clients successfully rehabilitate following joint replacement surgeries (hip, knee, and shoulder).

Adam is also trained in Pilates and brings a deep understanding of biomechanics and movement from his ongoing involvement in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. This gives him a unique perspective on how to use movement and exercise to drive recovery and resilience.

Adam has worked with elite sports teams, including Sydney FC’s strength and conditioning department and the Tongan Rugby 7s Youth Olympic team, gaining valuable experience in on-field injury management and performance rehab.

He believes that successful outcomes come from working in partnership with his clients. By listening carefully and collaborating with GPs, specialists, and other health professionals, Adam helps clients navigate their recovery and reach their goals with clarity and confidence.

Outside of work, Adam enjoys spending time with his family and friends, training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, weightlifting and occasionally indulging in whiskey or two.
