Craig Allingham
F.A.S.M.F. B.App.Sci(Physio),
Grad.Dip.Sport Sci.,
Cert. Men’s Hlth.
APA Sports Physiotherapist

Craig has achieved professional qualifications in physiotherapy (1978), sports science (1982) and men’s health (1997).  Along the way he has been awarded a fellowship with the Australian Sports Medicine Federation and recognition as a Sports Physiotherapist with the Australian Physiotherapy Association.

His work has included clinical practice, University appointments and elite team practice including selection in three Australian Olympic Teams and ten years with the Flying Fruit Fly Circus.  Craig’s sports science training allowed him to work with Baseball Australia as Sports Science and Medicine Co-ordinator for 15 years during which he was responsible for training programs for athlete performance, rehabilitation and injury prevention.  Working with baseball demanded a thorough knowledge of the shoulder and how to train it for maximum safe performance.  This experience has transferred well to his clinical practice on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland Australia where many clients benefit on a daily basis.   

Craig teaches post-graduate level at University as well as conducting training seminars for physiotherapists throughout Australia and overseas, and he has written extensively about shoulders and how to manage them.  His ideal day at work is one where ‘too many shoulders are never enough’, he also treats other stuff!
