Athlete's Care Sports Medicine Centres - Adelaide & York

My physiotherapist Indu was amazing. She was very professional and engaging and the exercises she recommended made such a difference

Been going here since 2020 for a few different running injuries - James has always been a great help.

If you're looking for an amazing chiropractor, book an appointment with Dr. James Ho. I've tried other chiropractors over the years and always end up coming back to James. He's knowledgeable, professional and just a great human being!

I was recommended to visit Trevor at Athlete's Care by an athletic friend for a knee injury that wasn't healing. Within a few minutes, Trevor felt confident that it was in fact an ACL tear. He was absolutely right, and put me in the touch with the best people to have it fixed. I have spent months since surgery working with Trevor to regain my knee strength and get back into athletics. Trevor is a complete professional, he knows the right questions to ask, and tests to preform to determine the best course of action to help you strengthen and heal. I feel very confident performing exercises and stretches now to prevent future injury, and would highly recommend anybody to visit Trevor for any type of physical therapy.

I have been seeing James Ho for over 10 years whenever I have a sports related injury. He is incredibly talented and knowledgeable - I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Very happy about the introductory visit. Dr Ho was listening, understanding and quickly came up with a series of manipulations that had direct results, meanwhile talking about long term goals and how to get there

Dr James Ho has been my chiropractor for 8 years and has helped me with everything from severe back pain to prescribing orthotics, and a myriad of other issues along the way. No matter what I see him for, I always leave feeling so much better. He is extremely knowledgeable, will always take the time to try and figure out the root of the problem and after treatment, provides exercises for at home in an effort to prevent reoccurrence. I have recommended him to many friends and family members and will continue to do so!

Dr. James Ho is awesome! I can’t say enough about how positive my experience has been. He has helped my physical recovery more than anything else I’ve tried.

I have had lower back pain from camera operating over the years and James has brought me relief like nothing else. I truly recommend his services.

Thanks for always listening and being so caring.

I was in a car accident and have been coming to Henry Zhou for my physio treatment. He has helped me regain strength in my shoulder, legs and back. He took his time with me and never rushed any appointments. Henry was also very good with dealing with my insurance company, making sure that I was getting the treatment I needed.

Thanks!

Henry Zhou is a brilliant physiotherapist! He identified the root causes of the pain I was experiencing while weight training and gave me an exercise program that not only alleviated the pain, but improved my lift form dramatically. He is very skilled and knowledgeable, I would never see any other physio!

Whenever I have an injury, I always can count on Athletes Care to bring me back to life, but specifically Dr. James Ho's electroacupuncture which works every time! It's like a battery boost, but for the muscles! Highly recommend

I can safely say that Dr. James Ho is the finest chiropractor I have ever been treated by and I have highly recommended him to all my family and friends.

I had the most unfortunately injury (where i was in ER multiple times and couldn’t sit or put weight on my spine for over 5 months and had to go on a disability leave from work) …. So I reached out to Dr. James at Athlete's Care in extreme pain in the lower spine / SI joint area and he has been the most helpful, most knowledgeable, most empathetic and impactful Chiro! He made sure he saw all my reports, understood the condition and started treatment…. While continuously explaining and tweaking the treatment to ensure recovery.
In my experience after seeing multiple doctors, therapists, hospitals etc (who only treated the symptoms not the cause) …… I strongly believe Dr. James is the best health care practitioners in Toronto! And yes I am now walking (and dancing) again!

James Ho is an easy recommendation for me. Being a 32-year old competitive 1500m-5000m runner with two jobs and a child it is NOT easy to stay physically healthy. I've worked with James on & off for a few years now whenever something pops up from training and I've had nothing but positive & effective experiences. James is a great listener, formulates a treatment plan, explains the steps and gets down to business! I always leave his appointments feeling good about the progress and equipped with homework to target my treatment on my own.

Expert staff!
I went there multiple times, and received different services. I can say that all the staff I interacted with were knowledgeable, performed thorough assessments, and helped me reach the desired outcome.

Dr. James Ho is the man! He’s helped me so much throughout the years I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a chiropractor

I've been working with James Ho for years and will continue to do so. Very knowledgeable and personable. Would absolutely recommend.

Just wanted to write a quick note about how much I appreciate the treatment I get from Trevor at Athlete's Care. I have a crazy back spasm thing that happens every once in a while in a very unpredictable way. And when it does it can mess up my week in a hurry. Trevor always does a combination of things-teaching me some useful stretches I can bring home with me as well as in-clinic stretching and acupuncture that really help me get back to feeling normal again. Thanks Trevor!

James is the best! As a hockey player who took a lot of damage while playing, James was always able to easily analyze my injuries while providing professional treatment and further guidance with the recovery process.

James Ho is the best chiropractor I’ve seen. Every time I visit him, he works his magic and makes me feel a lot better. I would definitely recommend.

Dr. James Ho is an outstanding chiropractor whose expertise and genuine care for his patients are remarkable. I recently visited his clinic seeking relief for shoulder pain, and I was impressed by his professionalism and attentiveness to my concerns. I've also visited James for the past four years for injuries experienced by myself in hockey. I would highly recommend for anyone who wishes to have professional care done.

As quite the injury prone athlete, Dr. James Ho has consistently provided top of the line support to get me back to performing at a high level. High quality care and support, I truly would not have been able to achieve my athletic goals in the past without him.

Thanks James!

I never write reviews, but I needed to leave a review about what's happening at Athlete's Care Adelaide and York. By far, and I mean by far, the best Chiropractic (James), Physiotherapy (Indu) and Massage (Tanya) treatments I have ever had - and I have had a lot.

Each treatment genuinely advances the quality of my recovery and I have learned so much about what I can do to get better between treatments.

Knee, back and shoulders - better much better. I have not had to reduce my training during this, but modifying but on excellent advice.

I cannot recommend this place enough

Thank you!

I visited Athlete's Care on two occasions when I hurt my hand and my shoulder while working out at the gym. Henry Zhou was assigned to me the first time, while I got him the second time too on request.
He has some great qualities as a practitioner that I'd like to outline here.
- He takes his time to patiently understanding the problem.
- He's quite analytical in his process and explains all the details to me.
- He's super sentitive in acknowledging pains in the process of discovering the source of the issue.
- After every session, he follows up with me (via email) to summarize what I should be doing on my own to mitigate/resolve the issue.
- Overall, he's got a great attitude.
I'm quite comfortable with the service that Athlete's Care offers and of course, Henry is my go-to physio when I have any muscle trouble. I certainly recommend Henry and Athlete's Care!
Keep up the good work!
Cheers

I have been working with Vanessa Foucher for almost 2 years now and she's been a life saver. I've been to numerous PTs in the past from chronic leg pain and knee issues and she was the only one to correctly identify the pain was from a separate sciatica issue and helped me get it under control. She also helped me do thorough 'pre-hab' for ACL reconstruction surgery and is currently working with me with my recovery. She's extremely knowledgable, attentive, and adapts based on what is working well and what is causing pain. Overall she has been a pleasure to work with and I can't recommend her enough.

Athlete’s Care Sports Medicine is a professional establishment and it is because of excellent staff like Vanessa, who is a caring physiotherapist that has helped to restore my movement by providing a treatment which allows me to do my day to day functions without pain.
She is a gem & I’m grateful to be under her care!

I had multiple physiotherapy sessions in the summer of 2021 with Henry Zhou. He is a friendly and effective physiotherapist. He carefully listened to me, assessed my condition, and came up with solutions. He followed up with me through emails and sent instructions. He also asked me to take notes of symptoms between sessions and sent them to him by an email before each session, so he could evaluate my progress. My issue got significantly better after a few sessions.

The whole Athlete’s Care at Adelaide and York office was running smoothly. I don’t recall the name of others I encountered there, but everyone were professional.

I highly recommend them!

Had my second massage with Thomas Nicholls today. As an aerial acrobat, former dancer and someone with chronic back pain from a car accident, I can be quite selective with practitioners I use to maximize impact for time spent. Thomas is not only an RMT but also an athletic therapist who works with a national sports team when he not at the clinic. I've done two 45min sessions, it was awesome. Felt an excellent balance between working tense / sore areas as well as relaxation.to the point I fell asleep both times!

Highly recommend Thomas!

Tanya is a Top notch RMT. She has a very intuitive sense of all your issues and uses combination of techniques including massage, dry needling and muscle activation to help address. Highly recommend! So long as you leave me some booking slots:)

Emphasis on passive treatment (acupuncture, shockwave) instead of walking you through the active rehab exercises that will actually heal your condition. They print out the exercise sheets at the end and just hand you a list to do at home.

Paid for multiple sessions with no significant improvement.

I highly recommend Indu for physio care. She's patient, knowledgeable and really looks after her patients. I'll definitely be coming back to her for any future issues.

Had surgery on my shoulder and was referred to Athlete's Care. I am very happy with all of the work that Trevor did to help me get my shoulder strength and motion back. Trevor always had great advice and could answer all of my questions throughout my recovery. Thanks!

From start to finish my experience has been great overall. I went there for minor hip and helpful advice on what to do at the gym. Henry Zhou had been extremely helpful and will definitely go back for any issues. The booking process is easy and convenient too!

Great experience from beginning to end. They were very thorough, very patient, and they checked up on me outside of appointments to make sure I was progressing ok. I would recommend anyone in need of physiotherapy to this clinic and their staff.

I have been visiting Athlete's Care and Christina Petrucci on an almost weekly basis for almost three months now as I continue to rehab from a foot ligament problem. I can't recommend them highly enough, from the professional treatments and workouts that I get, to the feeling that nothing untoward is going to happen as all this unfolds in the midst of a pandemic. Christina is extremely personable and flexible with regards to treatment - she's got the full arsenal of knowledge and experience when it comes to effectively tackling what ails you. It's a first-class experience from the moment you walk through the door and have your wrist temperature taken, and safe to say my first port of call the next time I get injured.

I highly recommend Athlete's Care! I worked with Henry for several months to address numbness and tingling in my right foot. Henry was extremely knowledgeable, attentive and personable throughout our time together, and I felt that he was genuinely invested in my success. I noticed a drastic improvement in my foot over the course of my time working with Henry. Our in-person sessions were very helpful, involving a combination of exercises, stretching, massaging and acupuncture. Henry also developed a comprehensive at-home workout plan for me to work on the various smaller issues in my leg that were contributing to my foot condition. Over time, as my foot improved and as we got a better sense of what was causing the problem, Henry introduced new elements to the at-home workout plan to more effectively address the underlying causes. I also appreciated that Henry took the time to explain the factors contributing to my foot issue and the specific purpose of the various exercises he included in my home workout plan.

Thanks for your help Henry!

Christina is amazing. After only two sessions I was feeling better. No upselling. No unnecessary appointments. Would go back for sure. Thank you!

I have had a fabulous experience at Athlete's Care (Adelaide & York). Henry is knowledgable, thoughtful and very dedicated to his patients' success. He listens to my concerns and symptoms, and is working hard with me to get my chronic problems to a manageable level so that I can get me moving again. I feel very taken care of by Henry and the team at Athlete's Care.

Christina has helped me get back to normal after both a broken leg and a hyper-extended knee. She has a very pragmatic approach to treating patients and I would recommend her to anyone in need of physio treatment

I have been seeing Christina since day 2 post op for my ACL reconstruction. My initial plan was to stay in this clinic for 3 weeks and then go to an outpatient clinic at my workplace; However, after 3 weeks I no longer wanted to let Christina go. She is not only a skilled physiotherapist, but also a truly kind person. As a physiotherapist assistant myself I highly value both expertise and kindness in a professional. It has been now more than 6 months of my rehab program with Christina and I couldn’t be happier with my treatment.

Had a little trouble finding the clinic but the staff came out to help me navigate. Once there I was impressed with the facilities and staff. Henry was very attentieve and explained everything he did. I apprectated knowin what he saw and why the next steps were going to help with my leg pain.

I'm a competitive kettlebell lifter and, shortly after COVID-19 began, I started experiencing constant, burning pain in my shoulder and upper arm. I tried everything: home workouts, stretching, chiro, massage, acupuncture, even a sports doctor and pain doctor. Nothing worked, and the pain became so intense I had to stop weightlifting.

I started seeing Henry in the fall of 2020. He was thoughtful, diligent, and a great listener. It was clear he had not only expertise, but also a deep desire to help his patients.

After only a few sessions, I started seeing marked improvement. Henry gave me easy-to-follow exercises, helped me stay optimistic about my progress, and uncovered some underlying strength and flexibility issues that no one had ever addressed before.

With Henry's help and guidance, I recently started back at my sport. I'm pain free most days for the first time in nearly a year. I am so grateful to him and could not recommend him enough.

After 4 months of persistent tennis elbow pain, I felt my first relief after my first session with James. That is after having had 3 previous PT sessions and had also gone to another clinic that offered PRP injections (3 sessions at $800 per session). Not to say it wouldn’t work but my results have been immediately noticeable without the invasive and costly injections. James is professional, knowledgeable and very considerate you both your needs and comfortably with his methods. I am truly confident in his ability to my physical body at its best so I can perform at mine.

Great doctors on-site are knowledgable, engaged, and passionate about their patients’ health. Go to Nate if you’re suffering from a running injury or running is part of your lifestyle. The front desk staff are friendly and easy to work.

I came to Athlete's Care after months of dealing with a painful wrist injury. Christina listened to my goals and created a workout/treatment plan that got me back playing sports and being active in general. She is very knowledgeable and takes the time to explain things thoroughly.

I've come back for other treatment and it's clear Christina genuinely cares about helping clients be pain free and achieve their goals. Highly recommend! Thanks!

Excellent experience at Athlete's Care. The practice is well equipped and the booking and scheduling process is very fast and effective. Exercise program and techniques are provided online to help with following through between appointments. Christina P has been instrumental in professionally and expertly diagnosing and working through a custom treatment plan, and I have excellent early results all around.

I had a fabulous experience at Athlete's Care (Adelaide & York). Henry is knowledgable, thoughtful and clearly dedicated to his patients' success. He listened to my concerns and symptoms, and worked creatively with me to get to the cause of the problem and get me moving again. I felt very taken care of by Henry and the team at Athlete's Care.

I've been going to Athlete's Care for almost two years and the team is incredible. Physiotherapist, Christina Petrucci, has been a huge help in finding answers for my long-term shoulder injury (plus the general aches and pains of growing old). She's not only found functional solutions to help with recovery, but also practical exercises that fit with my daily routine. She's solution-focused, accommodating, and most important, she listens before prescribing. Highly recommend.

Nate was amazing. I was seeking a second opinion for a running injury and he was so knowledgeable. He asked many questions to ensure the best care forward for the injury. He explained every step along the way and provided a robust and thoughtful recovery plan, with my input included. I felt all my concerns were addressed. Would recommend Nate to anyone.

Henry Zhou helped me fix a painful shoulder injury from office work. Quick rehab and ongoing exercises. Allowed me to maintain a demanding work schedule.

I went to Athlete's Care with an ankle injury that had prohibited me from taking part in athletics for several months. Henry Zhou diagnosed the problem and had me progressing faster than I thought possible. First, he made sure I understood the issue in full, using demonstrations and highly informative visuals. I really appreciated this as it made the recovery process much more intuitive for me. He then set me up with drills, acupuncture, and a comprehensive plan for improved mobility (which included thorough professional emails that made my plan super easy to follow). Henry’s competency in the area was impressive any time I had questions or concerns. Lastly, I’ve heard that physio can be something people dread, but Henry was truly a delight to be around (I looked forward to every session!)

I highly recommend Henry and Athlete's Care.

Trevor and the rest of the Athlete's Care team have been wonderful. I had been dealing with pain in my heel for over year before receiving treatment and it's made a world of difference in a very short time. Thanks to Trevor, the pain is gone and I have the tools to ensure that I can continue to be physically active while preventing future injuries. They've also gone to great lengths during this pandemic to make sure that patients feel safe in their clinic. I highly recommend Athlete's Care on Adelaide and York.

Great location, easy to book appointments. And Nate Tsang is a great physio, particularly for running-related injuries. Being a runner himself, he understands the impact and strain that marathon training places on the body and is able to recommend solutions that work well. His work with electro-acunpuncture has been great for issues like shin splints.

Had a great experience with the physio Roman Izquierdo. He was professional, friendly and very dedicated to getting me back to sports ASAP. He went above and beyond and even checked in on me between appointments. Would highly recommend.

I started seeing Roman Izquierdo for physiotherapy late last year. My neck was constantly making cracking and grinding noises every single time I moved it. After my first visit with Roman the cracking and grinding decreased significantly. I saw him a couple times a week for 4 weeks and I'm happy to say my neck is feeling great and the noises are less frequent. Cupping, acupuncture, manual therapy and exercise helped me a lot. He explains what's going on with your body using an app that shows the different layers of bone, muscle, tendon, etc. He's very knowledgeable and I would recommend him to anyone needing physiotherapy.
