Your Journey Begins Here
Discover Our Story and Values
UpClinic was born from a personal journey of resilience and purpose. Originally founded as Unconditional Physiotherapy by Jim Li, the clinic’s beginnings were shaped by a pivotal decision—leaving behind a successful international career to return to Adelaide in 2017 to care for his father during a serious illness.
Through this challenging time, Jim experienced firsthand the power of dedication, compassion, and unwavering support. His father’s remarkable recovery became a reminder of what’s possible when care is delivered with intention and integrity.
What began as a boutique service for a select group of clients has since evolved into UpClinic—a place where high-level expertise meets genuine, personalised care. Our approach is rooted in the belief that lasting health and performance come from a commitment to excellence and a deep understanding of each individual’s journey.
We invite you to experience this unique standard of care—where your long-term wellbeing is our priority.
Jim Li
Principal Physiotherapist
With over a decade of international experience, Jim is the principal physiotherapist at UpClinic, dedicated to delivering cutting-edge musculoskeletal, sports, and rehabilitation care. His career spans clinical leadership roles at Parkway Hospitals and consultancy across China’s senior care sector.
He served as a medical director for elite sporting events like the Ultra Trail Marathon Fi Tour and Kia World Extreme Games, and as a sports physiotherapist for world-class tournaments such as the WGC HSBC Champions Golf, European Challenge Tour, and NBA athletes at the Shanghai Sharks.
Academically, he holds a Bachelor of Physiotherapy from the University of South Australia and have undertaken advanced training at Harvard Medical School and the Andrews Institute in Sports Medicine. I’m a certified practitioner in methods such as dry needling, clinical acupuncture, real-time ultrasound imaging for pelvic and core rehab, advanced shockwave therapy specializing in men’s health and erectile dysfunction, the Watson Headache Approach, and TPI (Titleist Performance Institute) golf assessments.
A recipient of the Global Youth Leadership Award in Washington DC and a former Australian national swimmer, I bring a deep understanding of performance, injury prevention, and recovery. I hold an international patent-pending device for chronic low back pain and am passionate about innovation in allied health care.
