Adam van der Wielen

Adam is an experienced Senior Physiotherapist and is one of the co-owners of Tangram Health. He completed his training at Macquarie University, and also consults at our Mt Kuring-Gai, and Asquith clinics.

He has a special interest in helping people recover from complex upper limb conditions affecting the shoulder (rotator cuff tears, tendinopathy, bursitis), elbow (tennis elbow, golfer's elbow), wrist and hand (tenosynovitis, instability, carpal tunnel syndrome), and knee issues (ligament and meniscus tears, patellofemoral syndrome), stubborn tendon problems, and helping athletes perform in sports and the gym. He has a wealth of experience in various levels of sport, from amateur to professional, and is currently working alongside the Berowra Wallabies RLFC and the NRL officiating squads to provide injury prevention and management strategies.

Adam can help people get back on track with a proper recovery plan after previous unsuccessful treatments, by listening to them and creating sensible rehabilitation plans to achieve real goals and get back to what they love doing.
