About Evolutio Sports Physio Richmond (Melbourne): Our Story & Mission
Our Story
Evolutio Sports Physio RIchmond (Melbourne) was created in 2013 by Alex Drew, a physiotherapist with a disdain for sterile medical clinics and an obsession with creating a comfortable space for injured patients and for practitioners to be themselves. In this space, the best operators and healthcare professionals in Australia are urged to learn and be inquisitive with their minds. In 2016, Evolutio moved to its 3-level modern warehouse at 11/3 Bromham Place.
Since then, it has become Australia's number one healthcare clinic, specialising in looking after all sporting athletes, from those playing air hockey or mixed netball to national and international level athletes. Since 2013, over 7200 new patients have come through the doors at Evolutio from all across Victoria, interstate and overseas, including Norway, France, Mexico, Buenos Aires and Hong Kong.
In 2020, Bayden Campbell and Phill Danzi came on board as clinic managers of Evolutio.
Our Philosophy
Evolutio comes from the Latin word for “evolution” or “unfolding” — reflecting our belief that recovery and performance are not linear. We guide each patient’s evolution through expert physiotherapy, advanced assessment, and individualised care.
We are sports physiotherapy specialists, not a gym, fitness franchise, or tech company, treating real athletes with real injuries.

People & The Planet
The existence of a place, whether that be a clinic like ours, a family, a community or a taco stand without beliefs and a vision is like a rudderless boat. We stand for much more than just the best physiotherapy in Australia. We want to set an example for our clients, our families and the future generations of physiotherapists.
That’s why we continue to look at ways to make an impact around us. To work with other businesses, to learn, educate and be vulnerable. With that comes the opportunity to see the “soul of the world”, - The Alchemist
The Planet
In December 2021, we worked with Greenfleet to plant a milestone forest at Pearsons in Central Victoria. This donation revegetates 0.1 hectares of land and will be protected for 100 years.
At Pearsons, Greenfleet is working with the traditional custodians of the land, the DjaDja Wurrung people, to revegetate the property with native trees and grasses.
We are the only clinic to work with Greenfleet in Australia to offset the carbon emissions from our clinic.

Knowledge & Understanding
We want to learn about our lands. We’re lucky to live on this beautiful earth and on the lands of Indigenous peoples who’ve been here for thousands of years. Life can go in an instant, we want to learn, educate and be vulnerable to understanding the privilege we’ve had growing up, the ability to go to university, study physiotherapy, and work here at our special clinic.
