Principal Physiotherapist 

Shalin is a highly accomplished and dynamic physiotherapist with over 18 years of clinical experience, specialising in the demanding intersection of complex pain management and high-performance sports rehabilitation. He built his foundation with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy in 2005 (Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences, India) and further secured his expertise with a Master of Manual and Sports Physiotherapy from the University of South Australia in 2008.

At the core of Shalin’s practice is his precision diagnostic approach. He leverages his extensive knowledge and experience to accurately pinpoint the root cause of symptoms, moving patients beyond generalized pain management to targeted, effective recovery.

His expertise is equally balanced across two critical domains:

1. Complex Musculoskeletal Cases: Resolving persistent pain and challenging complex spinal issues. Shalin is committed to understanding the patient's full clinical picture to deliver lasting, evidence-based solutions.
2. Performance and Sport: Rehabilitating high-performance and sporting individuals, focusing not only on return-to-play but on achieving peak physical resilience.

Shalin’s broad experience covers post-operative rehabilitation, work-related injury management, and occupational health. He ensures every patient—from the elite athlete to the individual dealing with a chronic condition—receives a personalized treatment plan supported by the latest scientific evidence.

Committed to leadership and clinical excellence, Shalin actively contributes to the professional community. He regularly supervises physiotherapy students and mentors graduate physiotherapists. Furthermore, he is involved in teaching physiotherapy courses and planning professional development events with the Australian Physiotherapy Association.
