ABOUT
SHIKHAR KAKKAR
Hello! Now look, I know what you're thinking. But I promise, there's more to me than just a rhyming name and a luscious moustache. I'm the principal Physiotherapist here at Shak The Physio, and my goal is to help those in my community just like yourself, recover, be injury free and live a happy, healthy life.
​
Over the years, I have been fortunate enough to work in numerous clinical settings, along with some elite high performance environments that include the Manly United Football Club and North Eastern Australian Football Club. Through these experiences, I have learnt from some of the finest minds in sports medicine.
However, throughout my studies and real world experience within the realm of physiotherapy, I noticed a disparity between the quality of service provided to the elite athletes, versus our weekend warriors. So here I am, working to bridge that gap and provide exemplary physiotherapy to all. Everyone deserves the best possible care!
While I've got you, I'd like to take you on a journey back in time, to the moment I realised physiotherapy was my calling in life. Rewinding back to the early 2000s, I was really finding my stride in what I hoped would be a long and successful cricketing career. I had my sights set on playing for the Australian International cricket team, training everyday and excelling within my age group. But all of this came to a screeching halt when I turned 16 and my hip degenerated beyond repair. My dreams were crushed and I was left feeling helpless. Angry at myself, but also annoyed at the fact that if I had affordable access to a good high performance physiotherapist, I could've made it! Fast forward to 2020, and I am here now to provide just that!
​
Together we will achieve your goals, no matter how simple or complex they may be. Running, walking, playing sport or even getting rid of that annoying lower back pain. My mission is to provide approachable, individualised and 100% client based therapy.
