Russell Mackenzie - Physiotherapist Russell graduated from Uni SA in 1994 with Bachelor of Applied Science in Physiotherapy with First Class Honours. He worked in Mildura for two years in private practice before returning to Adelaide to work at TQEH. He was Orthopaedic and Rheumatology Senior Physiotherapist between 2001 and 2004. He then left TQEH to work at a private practice in the Eastern suburbs who were among the pioneers of Pilates in SA, and with a strong McKenzie background. After 15 years of practicing physiotherapy, he decided to embark on his own private practice, with the principles of hands-on treatment, Pilates and exercise therapy and teaching the skills of self management. Russell has a keen interest in pain management and helping those with chronic pain conditions through the use of pain education and novel therapies directed at the CNS as well as the peripheral tissues. Russell is a credentialled McKenzie Therapist. With a competitive swimming background, he also has an interest in sports injuries and is a member of the APA Sports Physiotherapy Group and the APA Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy Group.
