Rehabilitation in the comfort of your own home or our clinic.
Helping you get back to the life you love.
Exercise Neuro-Therapy
At The Active Body Project, our focus centres on supporting people with neurological conditions and acquired brain and spinal injuries to recover, maintain or improve their strength and mobility.
Empathetic Care
There is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ when it comes to health care. Our focus is on getting to know you as an individual so that your treatment plan isn’t just a good fit with your medical needs but that it fits with your lifestyle and preferences too.
In-home Therapy
If you live in the western suburbs of Adelaide, you can receive treatment in the comfort of your own home. Contact us to see if our Exercise Physiologist services your area.
Support at Home Services
We also provide support at home services under aged care via the main aged care providers.
Are you feeling trapped by ongoing pain?
Maybe you’ve been told you have reached the end of your rehabilitation journey but your body still feels foreign to you, and your strength and mobility (ability to perform simple, everyday tasks) is a long way from where you would like it to be.
You are frustrated with your body’s capabilities.
You dream of the day you feel like yourself again?
You are desperate to once again experience the independence you took for granted?

Life’s too short to be in pain
At The Active Body Project, we understand how frustrating it is when your mind wants to do something, but your body stubbornly refuses to follow those instructions. The energy required to do the simplest of tasks leaves you exhausted before you’ve even left the house, and you have all but given up on being able to do the things that used to bring you joy.
This isn’t the body you know, and you’re annoyed that your rehabilitation isn’t progressing faster. You wish you could find a way to navigate simple daily tasks without feeling completely overwhelmed by them. To have the energy to walk along the beach with your partner, to keep up with your kids, or to get back to a much-loved hobby but, right now, that life feels so far away it’s hard to believe it’s even possible.
You haven’t given up hope though and are willing to do whatever it takes to hit your goals. If only you knew where to start.
At The Active Body Project, we passionately believe in your ability to achieve your goals and actively support you to build a life you love. Sometimes, a fresh perspective is all that is needed to put you back on the road to recovery.
That’s why we take the time to get to know you as a person, taking the time to really understand where you are struggling and what you would like to achieve. Together, we can create a treatment plan you love.

About the Team
Adam Burton
After rehabilitating his own sports injuries for over 15 years, in 2014 Adam embarked on a journey to change careers from that of a Carpenter to an Exercise Physiologist.
It was a matter of weeks into his degree before Adam realised he had found his passion. Graduating from The University of New England with a High Distinction, Adam has gone on to work with some of Adelaide’s leading experts in the area of neurological and spinal rehab.
Adam is passionate about helping his clients return to a life they love after significant neurological injury and in supporting his clients with neurological conditions to live as full and active a life as possible, for as long as possible. Adam currently has availability in his schedule and looks forward to discussing your therapeutic needs with you.
Peter Sierros
After completing a degree in Human Movement at the University of South Australia in 2017 and working as a children’s sports facilitator, Peter realised he had a passion for helping individuals to live healthy and fulfilling lives through physical activity to overcome any health challenges that presented. This led him to return to the University of South Australia and complete his degree in Exercise Physiology, graduating in 2025.
Peter is strongly committed to supporting his clients in returning to the life they desire through tailored evidence-based exercise interventions to regain strength, fitness, mobility and overall function. Peter aims to build strong connections with all his clients to assist them on their individual health journeys to obtain a high quality of life.
Peter is open to working with a wide range of chronic health conditions and injuries with a special interest in osteoporosis, arthritis, diabetes and weight management. Peter looks forward to working with you and helping you achieve your goals.
Pahtchi Menezes Dantas
Pahtchi graduated in Marketing and spent several years working in events coordination, translation, and client-focused roles. While the experience strengthened her communication, organisation, and ability to connect with people from diverse backgrounds, her professional direction gradually evolved. Alongside her corporate career, she taught yoga for over a decade, developing a strong foundation in movement, body awareness, and client-centred practice.
Over time, her yoga teaching became more specialised and tailored to people’s needs, particularly with seniors – as a therapeutic tool. This led her to start supporting clients with chronic conditions, injuries, and age-related challenges which sparked a deeper interest in how structured exercise could restore function, improve independence, and build long-term confidence. She became passionate about understanding the science behind movement and how tailored exercise programs could enhance quality of life. Following COVID, she chose to start a degree in Exercise Physiology at UniSA.
Pahtchi is committed to helping clients become stronger, more mobile, and empowered to achieve their short- and long-term health goals.
