Alice Kelsh

Physiotherapist

Bachelor of Physiotherapy

Alice graduated with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy from the University of South Australia in 2011. After starting her career in the Riverland, where she worked across both private and hospital/public sectors, Alice has spent the last 11 years at Semaphore Road Physio, where she truly feels at home. She also has experience in the NDIS and the disability sector, adding to her broad range of expertise.

 

Alice is known for being approachable and building strong, trusting relationships with her clients. She focuses on delivering patient-centred, high-quality Physiotherapy that improves function, fitness, and overall quality of life. Her goal is simple — help her clients become the best versions of themselves! Alice uses her sharp assessment skills and hands-on therapy techniques to pinpoint issues and treat symptoms. She’s passionate about empowering clients with home strategies and exercises for long-term management.

 

Her therapy approach is flexible and tailored to a wide range of conditions, including sports injuries, postural issues, Clinical Pilates, and rehabilitation, with specific experience in MS, stroke, and other neurological conditions. Alice also offers Dry Needling as part of her treatment approach, when appropriate.

 

Alice is in the clinic on Thursdays, ready to support you on your journey to recovery.

  • Outside of Physio hours, Alice is all about beach days, gym sessions, and socialising—plus she’s always on the lookout for the best acai bowls! When she’s not keeping up with her two kids and Groodle dog, you’ll find her on the sidelines at soccer, football, basketball, or ballet with the kids. Alice loves a warm getaway by the pool, but also treasures visits to the Eyre Peninsula, near Streaky Bay, where she grew up—exploring the beautiful beaches and fishing spots. She thinks the clinic has that same friendly, country vibe she loves, with a strong sense of community.
