Greg Campbell graduated from the University of South Australia in 1996, with a Bachelor of Applied Science (Physiotherapy). His initial work experience was based in the public health system where he gained invaluable experience in orthopaedic/ musculoskeletal inpatients and outpatients, spinal injury, and neurology and neurosurgery. On a daily basis, Greg integrates the different philosophies related to these various rehabilitation areas.
From his time in the public health system Greg learned invaluable lessons, especially with respect to the power of a collaborative, client centred approach to health care. Essential to this model is sound communication between treating health professionals. On a day-to-day basis Greg communicates extensively with his referral network and other health professionals. On entering private physiotherapy work in 2001 in Adelaide, he helped establish an extensive network of likeminded health care practitioners. These practitioners would meet on a regular basis to discuss case studies and become more informed about how different professions could work seamlessly together for the betterment of the client. They would also co-assess and co-treat clients and within this network the co-care model of treatment and assessment was established as the gold standard of care for clients. Over the last 20 years these practitioners have been joined by many others and still communicate regularly with the primary goal of providing industry leading health care.
In 2004 Greg was a founding partner of Smart Health Training and Services (Smart Health). Smart Health was established to provide the best possible environment for the very best allied health care practitioners in South Australia.
Greg’s assessment approach centres around his strengths in soft tissue injury and treatment, neurological and orthopedic assessment, understanding of both the pathological and functional factors relating to the client’s problem. Greg is a strong believer in establishing the anatomical and pathological source, as well as the functional – biomechanical, psychosocial, and environmental causes for a client’s problem. From this comprehensive diagnosis, an accurate prognosis and management plan is devised with the client being intimately involved in their treatment and rehabilitation for the entire journey. Greg’s treatment approach typically incorporates education, exercise, and manual and dry needling techniques.
Greg continues to practice with an integrated, collaborative and client centred approach and when needed refers to a large network of like-minded practitioners and doctors, now that’s Smart.
