Find your area.
Every condition starts the same way: an assessment of how you move and what's loading the sore spot. Tap an area to see how we assess and treat it, or book an initial assessment and we'll work it out together.
Back pain
Locked up, stiff, shooting, or just won't go away. We find the pattern driving it and build capacity around it.
Hip pain
Deep ache, pinching, clicking or grabbing, limiting your walking, hiking or gym work. We look at what's loading it.
Knee pain
Swelling, catching, giving way, or just not trusting it. We assess the full picture, not just the knee.
Shoulder pain
Can't sleep on it, can't lift overhead, constant awareness of it. More than the rotator cuff: we look at position and load.
Neck pain
Tight, locked, headaches from the base. Can't turn to reverse the car. We assess the neck, upper back and shoulder as a system.
Core
Trunk pain, or a core that doesn't feel like it's doing its job. We look at how the trunk shares load with the hips and back.
Elbow, wrist and hand
Gives way when lifting, burning by the end of the day, sharp pain with grip. We find out why it's overloading.
Achilles and calf
Tight like a constant pump, feels like it could snap, or cooked after the Overland Track. We load it progressively, at the level it can handle.
Ankle and foot pain
Unstable, rolls easily, stiff and locked up, nervous to put weight on it. We build stability and strength step by step.
Dry needling
One of the hands-on tools our physios use, included in your appointment at no extra cost.
Hands-on treatment
Soft tissue massage, joint mobilisations, dry needling and manual therapy, alongside movement-based rehab and strength training.
Common questions about what we treat.
What conditions do you treat?
We treat a wide range of conditions including neck and lower back pain, headaches and migraines, osteoarthritis, shoulder pain, muscle strains, ligament sprains, nerve injuries, sports injuries, ankle and foot pain, workplace injuries, hand and elbow pain, hip and knee pain, fractures, pre and post-surgical cases, repetitive strain injuries, chronic pain, and more.
Do you take a whole-body approach to injury?
Yes. We look at the whole movement chain, not just where it hurts, so your plan addresses what's driving the problem.
Do you help with sports injuries?
Yes. We treat acute and sports injuries at every level, with rehab and strength work built around the goal of getting you back to your sport.
What can I expect during my first physiotherapy session?
In your first session, we'll take the time to understand your story, assess your injury or concerns, and discuss your goals. We combine hands-on care with movement strategies and education so you know exactly what's driving your pain and what we'll do about it. Each plan is tailored to your needs and lifestyle.
Do I need a referral?
No. You can book directly without a GP referral, unless your insurer or GP has specified otherwise. If you have a GP care plan (CDM or EPC), we accept it: you pay the full fee, we lodge the Medicare claim for you, and Medicare pays the rebate to you.
Keep building once the pain's gone.
