Join South Australia’s leading orthopaedic specialists and sports and exercise health professionals at Calvary Adelaide Hospital for a practical day of evidence-based education designed specifically for General Practitioners.

Limbering Up 2026 brings together orthopaedic specialists and allied health professionals from Wakefield Sports + Exercise Medicine Clinic for a highly practical program focused on the musculoskeletal presentations GPs encounter in everyday practice.

Across the day, presenters will share current approaches to diagnosis, investigation, conservative management, referral and rehabilitation, helping GPs build confidence in determining the most appropriate pathway for their patients — including when specialist assessment or surgical intervention should be considered.

You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions, discuss clinical scenarios with specialists and allied health professionals, connect with colleagues and tour the Wakefield Orthopaedic Clinic, gaining a first-hand look at the multidisciplinary approach to musculoskeletal care.
