About Us

At Wakefield Sports + Exercise Medicine Clinic, we have proudly cared for some of Australia’s biggest sporting stars through epic wins and tough losses. Founded in 1992 by the esteemed sports medicine pioneer Dr Brian Sando OAM, our clinic leads the way in sports, musculoskeletal, and orthopaedic physiotherapy and medicine for people of all ages and activity levels.

While we are known for supporting elite athletes, our care extends to everyday champions too. Whether you want to get ready for your big game on Saturday or improve your mobility to regain your quality of life, we focus on your goals with the same dedication.

In 2020, we moved to our flagship location at Calvary Adelaide Hospital, which allows us to offer expert care alongside cutting-edge hospital facilities such as on-site radiology, pathology, rehabilitation services, and a 24/7 emergency department. We also operate clinics at Next Gen, War Memorial Drive, North Adelaide, and provide physiotherapy services at Dulwich Family Practice.
