Hi! I'm Kieran Richardson.

I am a Specialist Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist based in Perth, Western Australia.

I consult at a number of physiotherapy practices locally, as well as nationally and internationally. I am the Director of Global Specialist Physiotherapy, a consultancy company of academics, researchers and educators offering formal mentoring, second opinions for complex patient presentations and professional development.

I have a special interest in evidence-based, non-surgical management of musculoskeletal conditions and recognition of these strategies within the Physiotherapy profession, as well as interprofessionally and to the general public.

I run training tutorials and workshops on non-surgical assessment and management of shoulder pain and injury, and how this can be implemented as routine care for patients. I also conduct second opinions of patients with unremitting and complex shoulder pain and injury for clinicians and clinics, utilising non-surgical, cognitive behavioural and manual therapy based assessment and treatment.
