Ali is a passionate physiotherapist with a Bachelor's degree in Health Science (Sports & Exercise Science) from the University of Western Sydney and Bachelor of Physiotherapy from Charles Sturt University dedicated to returning clients to high-level sport or simply staying active and pain-free in everyday life.

His approach is hands-on, evidence-based and tailored to each individual’s needs, combining manual therapy with targeted rehab programs and clear goal-setting.

Ali is currently the Head Physio for the SD Raiders First Grade Women team and Youth boys. 

When he’s not in the clinic, Ali’s either trying to dominate the pickleball court (with mixed success), pretending he still has a basketball career ahead of him or passionately yelling at the TV during football games like the coach can hear him.
