Alexandra Kearney

Alexandra (Alex) completed both her undergraduate and postgraduate studies at the University of Queensland before beginning her career in physiotherapy. After working in Queensland across a variety of clinical areas, Alex relocated to Adelaide with her partner in 2021.

Her professional experience spans private practices, elite sports, women's health, aged care, and both acute inpatient and outpatient hospital settings. Through this diverse background, Alex has developed a strong passion for orthopaedic rehabilitation. As part of our inpatient orthopaedic physiotherapy team at Calvary Adelaide Hospital, she is dedicated to supporting patients and their families throughout recovery and helping them achieve their rehabilitation goals.

In addition to her work, Alex has experience in Sports Physiotherapy. She spent several years working with the Brisbane Lions AFL team, where she gained valuable expertise in high-level injury prevention, management, and rehabilitation. She now applies this knowledge with her role with the Woodville West Torrens SANFLW team, and in her work with patients across all stages of life and activity levels.
