What happens at your first appointment
Your initial consultation starts with a thorough conversation about your injury, your history and — importantly — what you want to get back to. Your physio then completes a detailed physical assessment to reach an accurate diagnosis, explains exactly what's going on in plain English, and begins hands-on treatment in the same session.
Before you leave, you'll have three things: a clear diagnosis, a personalised treatment plan with realistic timeframes, and the first exercises of your rehab program. If a scan or X-ray is needed, we can usually refer you directly — no GP visit required.

How we treat — hands-on care plus a real plan
These days we know that effective physiotherapy is not about massage and machines. All of our physio sessions are 100% one-on-one and we combine hands-on techniques — joint mobilisation, manipulation and soft-tissue release — with the thing that actually produces lasting results: a structured, progressive exercise program built around your body and your goals. We are always on top of the latest research-based guidelines on injury diagnosis, pain relief, the most effective treatments, and the best ways to minimise any risk of future problems.
Because our clinic includes a full rehab gym, clinical Pilates studio and running centre, your rehab doesn't stop at the treatment table. Your physio can take you from the first painful week through to strength testing, running assessment and a confident return to sport — all in one place, with one team.
