Alister Cran

Hi, my name is Alister Cran. I graduated my double degree of physiotherapy/exercise science at Griffith University on the Gold Coast in 2012. Shortly after I moved to Sydney where I was fortunate enough to get a job in a highly respected physiotherapy practice. This physiotherapy practice caters to elite action sports teams around the world. Through this I garnered an enormous amount of experience treating high profile athletes in stressful situations. After my experience in Sydney I moved back to the Gold Coast in 2015 and opened up a small Physiotherapy Practice on Isle of Capri; Physio on Capri. In October 2017 I teamed up with Paul and the Moving With Easy team to Provide our physiotherapy services out of the EMF performance Centre in Robina. With all the facilities at EMF (including altitude rooms!) at our disposal, I am committed to providing the highest quality care I can to my clients.

I have always enjoyed an active and healthy lifestyle. This lifestyle has sparked my interest in may sports, namely surfing, skating and surf life-saving.

Through years of enjoying recreational sports, I have become particularly keen on learning and understanding the body and how it adapts to external stressors. Being able to empathize with clients and their injuries is a major part of our job and helps steer my treatments toward exercise modification rather avoidance. This ensures that my clients get back to the sports that they love sooner and with a better understanding on how to prevent injury in the future.
