Many athletes sustain an injury and once out of the pain, they return to their activity and start a cycle of subsequent injuries. At the Adelaide Clinic, we strive to avoid or interrupt this cycle through personalized, sport-specific rehab. We have a large rehab room and will work with your trainers and coaches for optimal results.
My intent is to create a lasting relationship of trust and care, assisting you to achieve a happy, fulfilled, and active life.
I have learned that in order to move well you need to be well from the inside out. My journey with nutrition and Nutraceuticals started with my own injuries and digestive problems.
Nutraceuticals are pharmaceutical-grade, standardized nutrients, with NO chemical additives. It is a food or fortified food product that not only supplements the diet but also assists in treating or preventing disease which provides proven medical benefits. Nutraceuticals are a specific product to my clinic and will help with an array of difficulties from high blood pressure to digestive problems; joint pain, muscle stiffness, or stress management.
I use products that are backed by multiple levels of research and the highest standards of production. In keeping with my methods and commitment to you, your Nutraceutical treatment plan will be developed in an individual manner tailored for you.
It all starts from your first visit; your initial assessment with me is quite different. I take time to establish your mobility needs and assess how to address not only the issue that brought you in but what might be contributing factors.
Together, we establish a plan.
You will receive a follow-up email after each appointment, to remind you of the plan, your exercises, and answer any questions you may have. This approach often shortens the number of sessions, saving time and money for you.
Whether you are recovering from sprains/strains or surgery, sports rehabilitation will optimize your return to your pre-injury function with a specific graduated exercise program tailored to you and your sport.
Exercises will focus on being sport-specific and we will perform testing to know when it is safe for you to return to sport.
Sprains and strains and repetitive use tendonitis are common sports injuries.
Not only will we focus on healing your injury, but we will look at your movement patterns and muscle imbalances to correct any underlying reason for your injury in the first place.
With a comprehensive assessment, physiotherapists are experts in identifying for example, if it’s a rotator cuff muscle involved in your shoulder pain, which ligament is at fault with your ankle sprain, if its disc or muscle involved with your back pain, or if it could be your ACL with your knee pain.
We can identify what is at fault and recommend if further imaging is required or not.
Physiotherapists are experts in strength testing and movement patterns.
For example, your hip strength could be at fault for knee or ankle pain, or a weak rotator cuff or scapular muscle could be at fault for shoulder pain while throwing.
Have a biomechanical analysis of your walking, running, jumping, and throwing patterns to identify any faulty patterns or muscle weaknesses.
Did you know optimizing your ROM in specific directions or targeting specific muscles can help your performance regardless of pain?

Sports physiotherapy focuses on exercises, manual therapy, and modalities to return you back to your pre-injury level of activity. Treatment plans often utilize strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular function to regain control over your injury. Sports Physiotherapists play an important role in helping athletes of all ages and all levels of ability to enhance their performance and return to play.

Ryan Plumpton graduated from the Massage Therapy program at Algonquin College with an Advanced Diploma. His curiosity lends itself to the problem-solving nature of both orthopedic testing and manual therapy. He always seeks the best possible treatment, whether you aim for better performance or a little relaxation.
He thinks of himself as a Swiss Army Knife of RMT’s. He cultivates experience in as many forms of treatment as he possibly can. Knowing that sometimes a knot is caused by a fascial binding, or that numbness is secondary to swelling further up a nervous pathway; it never made sense to have a limited focus. Instead, Ryan ensures he has done the best to make sure he could treat anything put in front of him. Ryan has had success in treating across a range of conditions; from improving range of motion and reducing swelling following a knee replacement, to provide some badly needed pain relief to those that suffer from fibromyalgia or chronic headache.
Ryan continually updates his massage and believes strongly in health care partnership; for you to best take care of yourself, he incorporates large amounts of home-care and remedial exercise into treatments. These athletic endeavors have given Ryan a wide range of activities to draw from when providing the coaching that will help you help yourself.
Ryan has found a like-minded practitioner in working with Dr.J who shares a passion for optimizing health and offers skill sets and techniques that he doesn’t have access to.
