We know how important both relief from pain and ease of movement is for optimal wellness and quality of life, not just for you but also for those with whom you share your life - your family, your friends, your dog. Our mission is to help you get back on track when injury and illness disrupt your life
Your wellbeing and quality of life matters to you and to your loved ones – and it matters to us as well. We treat you and your loved ones with the same dedicated care and attention that we would provide to our own selves and loved ones.

Our Philosophy
Innovative community based care - we value our local community and aim to provide an excellent healthcare service to benefit our community members. We don’t believe you should have to travel beyond your front gate to access great health care. We don’t believe your physiotherapy journey needs to take place in a cubicle (we don’t like cubicles either!). Physio on your deck, in your garden, at your office, gym or local swimming pool - why not? Group exercise classes with your family, friends and neighbours in the comfort of your own home or garden or pool - why not make recovery, rehabilitation and fitness fun?!
Time for optimal healthcare - with experience of working in a wide variety of healthcare settings - from 20 minute consults in private practice to hour long consults in the not for profit hospital outpatient department setting, we have learnt that optimal care takes time. Time invested early in the physiotherapy journey will save you time and money later on. We generally allow an hour for our initial consults and 45 minutes for follow up sessions. This allows us time to get to know you, understand your problems and issues fully and allow us time to come up with and implement an effective plan of action to achieve your goals. If you think you need more time - let us know and we will work out a plan to accommodate your individual needs.
Collaborative care - we love teamwork! We see you as a person surrounded by a healthcare team, as well as your friends and family. We are happy to communicate our findings, plans and progress with your G.P., surgeon, medical specialist, personal trainer, coach or allied healthcare provider. Multi-disciplinary team work is very important and collaborative health care is the foundation of optimal health care.
Evidenced based care - we love to keep informed about established and emerging research which informs and guides our practice. We also like to talk about it, and if you will listen, we will share our knowledge with you so that you understand what is happening in your body and how best to manage your health and be well again. We also like to write about the emerging research - check out our blog for more information.
We strive to provide excellent and inclusive care to our community members - all cultures and backgrounds, all ages and all abilities. We enjoy all sorts of folk and appreciate everyone’s individuality and uniqueness.
Most of all, we want to empower you, to live a fulfilled, enjoyable and adventurous life. Physiotherapy to help you move well, feel well and live well.

Falls & Balance
Balance declines with age, injury and disease. There is much that we can do to improve balance, coordination and reduce or prevent falls from occurring.
Sports Physiotherapy
The sporting world is a key part of our society - from runners to cyclists, field sports, dance and outdoor adventure. Good for the body, mind, heart and soul!
Cardio-Respiratory Physiotherapy
The heart and lungs - the powerhouse of the body. Physiotherapy aids recovery - from lung disease to heart conditions and reconditioning to wellness.
Chronic Pain
Management
Chronic pain affects one in five of us and can be very debilitating. Fortunately there is much we can do to help individuals get back to a life they value and enjoy, working alongside other key members of the healthcare team.
Re-conditioning and Recovery
Rehabilitation post illness and hospitalisation. Guidance for recovering optimal fitness and movement is important for getting back to the life you love.
Vestibular
Physiotherapy
The Vestibular system forms part of our inner ear and optimal functioning is crucial for balance and spatial orientation. Vestibular dysfunction can be very debilitating, leading to dizziness, loss of balance and falls.
Health, Fitness & Wellbeing
Preventative care is just as important as rehabilitation and can reduce incidence of injury and illness. There is much you can do to keep yourself fit and well.
Palliative Care
Physiotherapists support individuals living with a life-limiting health condition. Goals may include maintaining mobility, easing discomfort and facilitating independence - with quality of life at the forefront of mind.
Our Commitment
Compassion, Empathy & Respect
These three values guide all of our interactions with you and your loved ones.
Collaboration
As physiotherapists with a Bachelor degree in Science, we identify as being a key part of your health care team and commit to communicating and collaborating with the other health care professionals in whom you have placed your trust – whether that is your G.P., surgeon, podiatrist, psychologist, coach or personal trainer. We know when to refer on to another health care provider if your needs fall outside of our scope of practice.
Excellence
We committed to excellence when we signed up for a career in Physiotherapy. We commit to continue on our journey of life long learning and to ensuring that you and your loved ones benefit from this knowledge. If we can’t satisfactorily answer one of your questions - we will follow up and get that information for you. If we are not the right health care provider to meet your needs, we will refer you to a more suitable healthcare professional.
Research focused
We commit to research. To reading emerging research, to critically apprising research, to attending and presenting at national and international research conferences - and sharing our learning with you, so that you and your loved ones benefit from our constantly growing knowledge base.
