Dr Terry Farquharson is a Sport and Exercise Physician based in Adelaide, working out of the Calvary Adelaide Hospital Consultancy Building, Ground Floor, 120 Angas Street, Adelaide SA 5000.
He helps people who are dealing with sports injuries or health issues linked to exercise. That can include the “I did something and it won’t settle” type of injury, to ongoing aches that get in the way of training or daily life.
In many cases, the problem is a muscle strain or pain that started during sport or exercise. Dr Farquharson also looks after people who need careful injury assessment, so the cause is worked out and the next steps make sense. At times, injuries can be more than just one sore spot, so it’s about getting the bigger picture right.
Alongside assessment, the care often includes exercise prescription and practical physical therapy referral. The goal is usually to help you recover well, build strength back safely, and get back to doing what you want to do—whether that’s getting through the work week, returning to sport, or just moving more comfortably.
It’s not just about “rest up and hope for the best”. The focus is on clear, real-world plans. Sometimes that means adjusting training or daily activity for a while. Other times it means working through rehab steps in a way that matches how your body is responding.
Dr Farquharson’s experience in sport and exercise medicine is built around treating common injury types and guiding people through recovery. He also supports active people with planning for safe progress, so symptoms don’t keep coming back.
His education is in the area of sport and exercise medicine, which helps when you’re trying to match the right treatment to the right problem. It also supports the way he looks at how your body moves, and how to manage pain while you recover.
Whether you’re dealing with a fresh injury or a longer-lasting issue that’s affecting your movement, Dr Farquharson’s clinic can help with evaluation and a sensible treatment path. If you need an exercise-focused plan or a physical therapy referral, that support is part of the service.
If you’re in Adelaide and want an injury assessment that connects to exercise and recovery, Dr Terry Farquharson is available at Calvary Adelaide Hospital.
