Greg Goh

Practice Director and Physiotherapist

Greg is one of our Practice Directors and has been since 2014.

Born in Malaysia, he and his family migrated to Australia when he was just 1.5 years old.

Greg always loved sport and was subject to many injuries over the years; he combined this and his desire to help better and decided that physio would be a perfect fit. He completed a Bachelor of Physiotherapy at UNISA and graduated in 2011.

Since graduating he has attended many short courses including dry needling, concussion and GLA:D just to name a few. From these his particular interested lie in neck and head ache treatment, concussion management, vertigo and dizziness assessment and treatment. He’s a great pilates teacher and always has a challenge up his sleeve.

Outside of work he is spending time with his family and friends, reading and playing music. He’s also a bit of a food lover and loves Asian and Italian food in particular!

Greg is always our test dummy for exercise challenges, he enjoys calisthenics based exercise which is mostly body weight but very challenging! When it comes to sport he is another NBA fan and enjoys watching tennis.

Jeremy Hobbs

Practice Director and Physiotherapist

Jeremy is one of our Practice Directors and actually opened the clinic in Mount Barker in 2007. He is now only treating on a part-time basis Tuesday – Thursday here at and working on some other projects on the other days.  

Jeremy was born and bred in Adelaide, he loved science and sport at high school and thought he would combine these two passions into a career in Physiotherapy.

The most experienced (and oldest) Physiotherapist in our Clinic, he has a few qualifications up his sleeve. These include an Undergraduate in 1998 from UNISA, Masters in 2005 from UNISA and he is currently working on his fellowship with the Australia College of Physiotherapists; for which he is eligible for completion in 2024.

Along with these titles he has done many, many short courses along the way in a variety of areas of interests. If you ask any of our Physiotherapists, Jeremy is our go-to for complex Shoulder problems and is well known for treating these. He is particularly interested in complex cases in any area of the body and is passionate in mentoring not only Physiotherapists in our clinic, but others in the industry too. A career highlight was working as a consulting Physiotherapist and the 2018 Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast.

Outside of work he is busy enjoying juggling family life but sometimes manages to squeeze in some basketball (watching/coaching/playing), great food (Indian is a must), wine and whisky. His favourite sports teams are the Adelaide Crows and the Chicago Bulls (NBA) but he would happily sit there and watch most forms of sport.

His favourite form of exercise is going (or pretending to go) to the gym.

Krupa Kadakia

Physiotherapist (Clinical Associate)

Krupa joined our Practice in 2021, originally from India she completed her Bachelor degree in Physiotherapy while in India before moving to Australia to complete her Masters in Advanced Clinical Physiotherapy at UNISA in 2019.

Krupa wanted studied Physiotherapy because she saw how much it helped her Grandad in his recovery following a burn injury. She had an general interest in the Medical field and Physiotherapy was her preferred option. She hopes to further her knowledge in the space of Women’s Health in the future and possibly study more through the Curtin University in this space.

On her days off you’ll likely find her hiking, doing Yoga, shopping (self-confessed, unnecessarily), dancing, watching Netflix and chilling with friends. Her favourite foods are anything Inidian or Italian.

She’s not a great lover of watching sport – but if she had too, it would likely be Soccer.

Poonam Goswami

Physiotherapist (Clinical Associate)

Poonam was born in India where she lived in Bhavnagar. She studied a Bachelor of Physiotherapy at the Shree Devi College of Physiotherapy in Mangalore, India and finished in 2011. She is passionate about helping people lead more meaningful lives and gets satisfaction from seeing people recover from their injuries and illnesses.

In the future, Poonam would like to learn further through a Master of Physiotherapy in Sports and Musculoskeletal. She enjoys treating and working with shoulder and knee problems.

Outside of work you’ll find her at the park with her Husband and Daughter and exploring their new home in South Australia. She prefers walking as her favourite form of exercise and loves eating Idli Sambhar (South Indian Food). She also likes watching the cricket when she can.

Mackenzie Da Costa

Physiotherapist (Clinical

Mackenzie was born in Goa, India, and holds pride in his Luso-Indian ethnicity. He completed his Master's in Advanced Sports Physiotherapy at the University of South Australia and has just finished his program in 2022. 

Having suffered major injuries through his sports career, Mac has had the chance to be both a therapist and a patient, and he has developed a distinct experience of both the mental and physical components of Physiotherapy and has used that to help his patients reach their goals.

Mackenzie spent three years working in Intensive care cardiac physiotherapy, sports physiotherapy, working with soccer teams, and sharpening his skills in private practice.

Outside of work, Mac loves a good hike and a classic scotch and refuses to specify if he means those separately or together. He's a very passionate sports fan and lives and breathes everything sports. If there are two things he can't live without, it's his wife, Malsha, and the Arsenal football club. So if you see him with a few dark circles on a Monday morning, he was probably (most likely) up. 

Charlie Shin

Physiotherapist (Clinical Associate)

Charlie is originally from South Korea, and joined our team earlier this year after completing his Masters in Physiotherapy from Flinders Uni.

He also has a degree in Exercise Physiology from Melbourne.

He loves working with people and helping them to get back to work, sports and life.

Stacey Bannister

Practice Manager

Stacey is another born and raised Adelaide Hills team member, she started in a Support Staff role and is now our Practice Manager. She has a Cert 3 in Children Services and previously worked as a Nanny for 6 years. This comes in handy on the odd occasion when our patients need an extra hand settling a baby while they have treatment.

Stacey relishes in the challenges each day working in a Physiotherapy practice may throw at her and problem solving to overcome these, she also enjoys building relationships with our amazing clients.

Outside of work you’ll find her out for breaky, spending time with family and friends and looking after her beautiful little girl Hallie. But don’t forget the big of her life – the Collingwood Magpies, she rarely misses a game on TV and tries to get to Adelaide Oval when they play here.

Stacey is a self-confessed sweet tooth and enjoys chocolate and cake – she’s always happy when there is a birthday to celebrate at work and is designated the ‘cake cutter’ thanks to her time spent working at children’s party’s fresh out of school.

Walking and strength classes at the gym is her preferred form of exercise (as long as there’s no burpees.)

Courtney Lever

Support Team

Courtney came to us from Victoria, she grew up in Geelong. She used to work in hospitality and can apparently make a mean coffee (we’d love to be taste testers)!

Courtney wanted to work in a Physiotherapy practice because she herself is actually studying to be a Physio! She already has a Bachelor of Science from the University of Melbourne (focus on Neuroscience) and is currently studying a Masters in Physiotherapy. Once she is qualified, she hopes to work in the Women’s Health Physiotherapy space.

She really enjoys working in customer service and interacting with so many different people, she loves warmly welcoming people into our practice and getting to know them.

On the weekends she is exploring her new home, South Australia and you may even find her in a Clinical Exercise class focusing on Pilates on her day off. She also tries to get back to Geelong when she can to spend some quality time with her family.

Her Favourite food is 100% chocolate, she has self-confessed that she cannot go a day without it!
