Dr Brad Stenner

I am excited to commence my new role (from June 2020) as Academic and Clinical Lead for the Invictus Pathways Program. This world-leading student led program provides exercise and allied health services to veterans and first responders.

In 2019 I completed by PhD, exploring the reasons for and health benefits of, participation in golf for older Australians. All 5 of the papers within my thesis have now been, or accepted for publication. Stay tuned for further updates!

My background as a clinician is in the area of physical rehabilitation, work injury and vocational rehabilitation. I have worked throughout SA and NT, including in OT consultancy, claims management and rehabilitation advisor roles. I have a keen interest in musculo-skeletal injury and treatment, and the role of occupational therapy in the treatment of these disorders. In 2011 I successfully completed Honours Level qualifications, through the School of Anatomical Sciences at Adelaide University. My project invovled the dissection of a number of human specimens, followed by an in-depth study by dissection of the nerves of the upper limb.
