Craig Allingham

Craig has been a clinical leader in Australian physiotherapy for over thirty years and was one of the first be awarded Sports Physiotherapist accreditation. After his physiotherapy degree, he picked up qualifications in sports science and men's health.  These studies enabled him to expand into athlete development, not just injury management.  Alongside his private practice work, Craig spent 17 years with the Australian Baseball Team.  He also was their Sports Science and Medicine coordinator for their elite program.  During this time the Australian team rose from easy-beats to winning international tournaments and a silver medal at the Athens Olympics. Craig has been a team physiotherapist for Australia at four Olympics and his academic appointments have allowed him to train his replacements with many of his students working at elite level.  Craig is now a professional development consultant and teaches clinical and business skills to physiotherapists around Australia and overseas through his company Redsok International.  His areas of special clinical expertise are shoulders, late stage rehab and men's health.  In fact his current quest is building high performance men in all aspects of their lives.  Read more at www.craigallingham.com.
