Roger D. Adams is a physiatrist in Bruce, in the ACT. You’ll find the practice at 11 Kirinari Street, Bruce, ACT 2617, Australia. As a rehab-focused doctor, Roger helps people when everyday movement, comfort, and function have been affected by health problems.
People come in with long-lasting pain and stiffness, especially when joints move more than they should. Conditions like hypermobile joints and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) are part of the work, along with arthritis, osteoarthritis, and tendinitis. At times there’s also a strong focus on chronic pain and finding ways to make daily life easier, not just “getting through” the day.
Roger also looks after people with movement and nerve-related issues. That can include Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders, as well as problems linked to stroke. In some cases, low blood pressure, stress urinary incontinence, and broader movement difficulties come up together, so care needs to be practical and coordinated.
There are times when the situation is complex, and it’s not only one condition. Familial dysautonomia can affect how the body copes day to day, and some people also deal with urinary incontinence. Roger works with patients to understand what’s driving symptoms, what makes them worse, and what helps. The aim is to support safer movement, better routines, and more comfortable long-term management.
Roger’s clinical work covers both physical and daily-life impacts. That means paying attention to things like balance, mobility, and how pain affects sleep and activity. If you’re unsure where to start, the first step is usually a clear conversation about your symptoms and goals, then a plan that fits into real life.
