What patients say
5.0 from 218 Google reviews
Patients tend to write about two things: the practitioner who actually listened, and the plan that actually worked. Here are three of them.
Eight years, still going
★★★★★
Long overdue but I’ve been getting treatment from Bayden over the course of the last 8 years. As a coach & someone who takes his training quite seriously (probably too seriously) the knowledge and guidance from Bayden has been invaluable.
Not only have I managed to stay healthier for longer but my movement has become better and I have become stronger because of it. I send all my clients to Evolutio and can’t recommend them highly enough!
Knowledge, and actually caring
★★★★★
Highly recommend Evolutio! I’ve been seeing Kelsi for physio and she’s fantastic! Super knowledgeable and really cares for her patients.
The whole experience

Before you book
Common questions
Is physio right for my problem?
You don’t need to know what’s wrong before you book. Working that out is what the 45-minute initial assessment is for. It’s time to come in if:
- You’ve recently hurt yourself: a back strain, rolled ankle, knee injury or footy knock.
- You’ve had pain for weeks that isn’t going away. Chronic pain is our bread and butter: persistent lower back pain, neck pain from desk work, shoulder impingement, and TMJ and jaw pain.
- You’ve just had surgery. ACL rehab is a core speciality, along with post-op shoulder, knee and hip rehab.
- You’ve got a goal, like a first 5km, a marathon or getting back to your sport.
- You want a second opinion. Book a senior physio initial ($235) and bring any scans and reports.
Still unsure? WhatsApp us a quick question.
How much does it cost, and can I claim it?
An initial assessment is $185 (45 minutes), or $235 with a senior physio. Follow-ups are $130 or $140. All major private health funds are accepted through HICAPS on the spot, and most patients get $40–80 back per session. We publish every fee and item code.
Do I need a referral?
No. You only need a GP referral for a Medicare EPC plan or a DVA White Card, and a claim number for TAC or WorkCover. See funding options below.
What happens at my first appointment?
After you book, you’ll get a confirmation email with a short intake form that only your physio sees. We’re at 11/3 Bromham Place, Richmond, behind the blue Evolutio sign, with client parking out front. Your physio will assess you, treat you, and talk you through the plan. Within 48 hours you’ll get an email with what they found, what to do, how often to come in, and a realistic timeframe. More on what to expect.
How long will it take to get better?
It depends on the problem. Acute back pain often improves a lot in 2 to 4 weeks, ankle sprains in 2 to 6 weeks, runner’s knee and shoulder impingement in 6 to 12 weeks, and ACL reconstruction takes 10 to 12 months to return to sport. Your physio gives you a specific timeline at your first assessment. See our clinical outcomes.
