Joel Bradford Chiropractor & Sports Injury Therapist
Joel is a long-standing member of the Gladesville Healthcare team, having honed his craft under the current chiropractic and physiotherapy team since 2020. Graduating from Macquarie University with both a Bachelor of Chiropractic Science and a clinical Masters degree, Joel is equipped to treat patients along the age spectrum.
Joel’s naturally caring approach for helping patients, along with his passion for mobility and movement allow him to create tailored, patient-specific treatment plans that use a variety of evidence-based, modern techniques such as soft tissue and sports massage, dry needling, gentle chiropractic techniques and targeted exercise and rehabilitation program development.
A true sports enthusiast, he brings a 20-year rugby league background to the table, having played at a semi-professional level. This has allowed Joel to understand how athletes function at an elite level, as well as giving him valuable experience working with athletes in high performance environments. His diverse athletic history also spans across other sports such as rugby union, Oztag, athletics, cricket, tennis, and golf.
Currently immersed in CrossFit training, he is passionate about offering valuable insights into correct weight-lifting techniques and training, along with understanding and educating his patients on correct functional movement patterns.
Beyond the clinic, you’ll find Joel likes enjoying the company of his dog Harvey, soaking up some sun at the beach, and escaping to the great outdoors for camping adventures.
