Physiotherapy
Our experienced team of physiotherapists will assess, treat and manage all of your musculoskeletal complaints. This includes any injuries to your muscles, bones, ligaments, tendons and cartilage.
We complement our ‘hands on’ treatment with detailed and individualised exercise programs designed to get you better quickly and also ensure you have no recurrence of your symptoms.
For those who suffer from chronic conditions – our physiotherapists don’t just treat the source of pain, we educate you and we empower you to self-manage your injury: long-term success is about constant management and we will support you on this journey.
SPORTS INJURIES
Our team of therapists have a strong grounding in the treatment of acute and chronic sporting injuries.
Trained and mentored by practice owners, Eddie and Steve, who have over 30 years combined experience working in elite level sports, all our therapists are at the cutting edge of the latest advancements in treatment and injury management of sports related injuries.
Sports injuries can include either acute injuries resulting in strains, tears, fractures or bruising, or overuse injuries such as inflammation, tendonitis, and muscle spasm.
Early and accurate diagnosis is essential in these cases to direct appropriate management. Where necessary our therapists will refer you on to the appropriate practitioners for further examination or investigations such as MRI scan, X-Ray, Ultrasound, etc. We also work closely with an exclusive network of Sports Physicians and specialists to ensure the best advice and outcomes for all our clients.
Our therapists will also outline a detailed sports-specific program to restore full mobility, strength and control to the injured limb as well as progression through specific drills required to ensure the seamless return to your sporting activities without any further symptoms or relapse of your injury.
BACK & NECK PAIN
Neck and back pain is one of the most common complaints in modern society and one of the biggest causes of absenteeism and disability in our society.
Unfortunately many still don’t understand how to manage this condition and the role that a physiotherapist can play to help treat and resolve your back pain symptoms.
Our therapists can provide an array of treatments to relieve your neck or back pain and furthermore will teach you how to look after your back to prevent future episodes.
An individually prescribed strength and core stability program will further help to protect your spine against the rigors of our daily lives.
POST-OP REHABILITATION
Following any orthopaedic procedure a guided rehabilitation program is crucial to a successful outcome.
Whether it is a knee reconstruction, or hip replacement, our physiotherapists will work to help avoid any potential complications post-op and to guide you towards returning to your everyday activities as quickly and safely as possible.
We will work with you closely, along with your GP and specialist, to achieve a holistic assessment and integrated treatment regime dedicated to maximising your recovery.
We will set goals specific to your rehabilitation program and these will vary depending on your needs – whether it is to return to high-level sports or simply achieving a successful return to work, home and recreational activities.
DRY NEEDLING
This is an increasingly popular modality in the physiotherapy field which is very effective in treating an array of acute and chronic conditions.
Dry needling involves inserting sterile acupuncture needles into sensitive ‘trigger points’ in muscles.
It can be helpful in releasing chronically tight muscles and muscles in spasm which in turn helps to relieve pain and restore normal function.
The technique should not be confused with acupuncture in that it is based on western anatomy and medicine and not Chinese medicine.
Our experienced physiotherapists will assess your injury and determine whether dry needling can assist in your recovery.
WORK RELATED INJURIES & THIRD PARTY
Workplace injuries are very common and may be debilitating. They can occur as a result of a fall or incident but quite often are due to overuse and the repetitive nature of one’s work.
Our physiotherapists are very experienced in not only rehabilitating your injuries but in advising you on the correct work strategies and exercises to ensure a safe and durable return to work.
All our therapists are WorkCover approved. As part of managing your injuries, we will work closely with your treating doctor, insurance case managers and employers to help streamline the return to work process. Our management may also require a worksite visit and ergonomic assessment.
Our sister company InTouch Physiotherapy has provided onsite physiotherapy and injury services to various organisations around Australia including one of Australia’s most iconic brands Qantas.

ATHLETIC SCREENING
The aim of athletic screening is to assess recovery from any previous injury, to assess the presence of any known risk factors for future injury as well as assessing key competencies which allow for elite athletic performance.
Our practice owners and head physiotherapists have worked at the highest levels of professional sport allowing us to be at the forefront of athletic screening.
Our screening protocols are designed to be specific to your individual sport.
Based on our findings we will design a program to address any deficiencies in order to limit or avoid injuries.
We're here to help you excel and reach your full potential in your chosen field.
EXERCISE PRESCRIPTION
Following on from our specific and detailed screening, whether it is for your chosen field of work or sport, a tailored exercise program is the most important component to help prevent injury and help you achieve your maximum potential.
Following any injury exercise therapy is a key component of rehabilitation and helps to prevent the re-occurrence of that injury.
Our therapists will also outline a detailed and specific program to restore full mobility, control and strength to the injured limb as well as the fitness required to ensure the seamless return to your normal activities.
