About Us
Our Story
Established in 2015, Primecare Physiotherapy & Pilates Studio was the product of the experience, knowledge & practice of Rustam Gandhi having 18 years of experience in the field of physiotherapy.
After having successfully worked across various physiotherapy practices in Adelaide (SA), since graduating from The University of South Australia with a Master’s in Orthopaedics, Sports & Manual Physiotherapy, Rustam decided to open his own brand of physiotherapy care to cater to the community in Adelaide, with the first clinic operational at Clarence Gardens.
At Primecare Physiotherapy & Pilates Studio, our objective is to correctly identify the problem areas of our clients & work with them towards rectifying it.
From a simple muscular strain to more complex post operative rehabilitation, all our treatments are based on the experience of our physiotherapists and a scientific approach to bring our clients to a pain free point.
Clients can be assured of the latest medical treatments with up-to-date equipment at our practice. We believe in a positive & collaborative approach with our clients, and our staff takes this into consideration while prescribing a particular method of treatment for each client.
We believe in offering a personalised and effective approach to all our clients.
