In 1996, Grant graduated from Latrobe University (Melbourne, Australia). He then worked in private hospital rehabilitation for a year, travelled around Australia for a year working as a locum, and began his private practice career in Melbourne.

Moving back to Alice Springs in 1999, Grant started Red Centre Physiotherapy, which he owned and managed for 15 years. There, he gained extensive experience in sports physiotherapy, musculoskeletal physiotherapy, and post-orthopaedic surgery rehabilitation.

Grant worked very closely with the visiting sports physician from Darwin, and the orthopaedic surgeons from Sportsmed, Adelaide, SA. Working in a remote practice gave him the opportunity to experience all areas of physiotherapy, which helped him work closely in a multidisciplinary team to help patients achieve great results.

During this time, Grant was also the physio for the NTIS Central Division for five years and the lecturer for Sports Medicine Australia’s Level 1 & 2 Sports Courses. He was also a keen dirt bike racer, competing in the Finke Desert Race eight times and the team physio for the Desert Edge Race Team.
