Anna Cross

Anna completed her Bachelor of Physiotherapy (Honours) at the University of South Australia in 2021. Her clinical experience spans hospital-based rehabilitation in orthopaedics, ICU, stroke and neurology, vascular and amputee care, brain injury, and respiratory health. She has also worked in community rehabilitation, supporting clients with orthopaedic, disability, and brain injury needs through both land-based and hydrotherapy programs.

Alongside her clinical training, Anna has been actively involved with several football and netball teams, where she gained valuable experience in injury prevention, management, and return-to-play support.

As part of our inpatient orthopaedic physiotherapy team, Anna is dedicated to helping clients and their families achieve their goals and optimise recovery. She has particular interests in return to sport, gait training, hydrotherapy, paediatrics, and managing complex cases.

Outside of work, Anna is a keen runner and first came into contact with our clinic as a school-aged athlete herself.
