Restore your body's physical function
Do you need help getting back to what you love or need to do? Is pain interfering with your life? Our physiotherapists are here to help. We use a multidisciplinary approach to achieve pain relief and help restore your physical function. Our clinic is open to the public and no referrals are required.
Our student-led clinic provides high-quality, cost-effective physiotherapy, fully supervised by Titled Musculoskeletal Physiotherapists. Private practitioners are also available if you prefer to use your health insurance or Medicare plan—this is best suited for those who are time-poor.
Our approach is to create an individualised, collaborative treatment plan, based on your goals, a thorough assessment and the latest evidence. Interventions generally include manual therapy and soft tissue techniques, exercise (therapeutic or performance) and education and advice around a safe return to physical activities.
Our highly experienced physiotherapists can help treat and manage a wide range of health conditions and concerns. See the treatment options below for our full range.
* In the wake of the ongoing Coronavirus situation, patient and practitioner safety and support remain our highest priority. If you have been feeling unwell or have been diagnosed with Coronavirus, we encourage you to re-book your appointment after clearance from a medical professional.
