Jordan Baker
Glenmore Park Physio Owner and Principal Therapist
Having been a Glenmore Park local my entire life I'm passionate about giving back to the community that helped shape me into the person I am today.
From a young age my interests were always geared towards sports, how the human body worked and health care in general. I'd consistently tell my family and friends I wanted to be a doctor. However, after a knee injury playing soccer and surgery at 16 years old that had changed. The one to one care and guidance given to me by the physiotherapist performing my rehabilitation made me realise something: I wanted to be more actively involved with people and to be the person getting others back to doing what they love.
After graduating from the Australian Catholic University in 2015 with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy I moved into an associate role at Physio Inq Glenmore Park. Fast forward a few years and assuming ownership of the clinic became the next logical step. Throughout my time working in the clinic I've been lucky to have been mentored by some incredible physiotherapists who have helped me hone my skills in manual therapy, exercise prescription and business operations.
These days my passion remains in treating/rehabilitating clients, educating my staff to become leaders in their field as physiotherapists and also engaging with the local community as much as possible. Recently I've developed a keen interest in all things to do with running and running injuries. Many athletes and runners get told to stop their activity when injured instead of managing/changing their loads appropriately. If it is safe to keep someone running or on the field we'll aim to do so!
Outside the clinic you'll catch me with friends and family, trail running or playing soccer for Glenmore Park FC. I'm thankful each day for the incredible network around me personally and to the Glenmore Park community for their loyalty and support of the practice.
