Physiotherapy Richmond | Your Local Sports Injury Specialists

Richmond's Physiotherapy Clinic That Gets You

Located right in the heart of Richmond at Bromham Place, Evolutio Sports Physio has been embedded in Richmond's vibrant community since 2016. We're not just another physiotherapy clinic - we're your neighbors who understand what makes Richmond special: the bustling café culture, the Yarra River training grounds, the converted warehouses, and most importantly, the active community that calls this area home.

Whether you're a Richmond Tigers supporter nursing a footy injury, a local runner training along the Yarra River trails, or a busy professional dealing with the strains of modern life, our expert physiotherapy team speaks your language. We've treated over 7,200 Richmond locals and visitors, from warehouse apartment dwellers to Victorian terrace residents, all united by their love of staying active in Melbourne's most dynamic suburb.

Our converted warehouse clinic reflects Richmond's character - authentic, unpretentious, and focused on quality. Think specialty coffee meets clinical excellence, where you can discuss your injury over the kind of coffee you'd expect to find on Swan Street.

Frequently Asked Questions from Richmond Residents

Do I need a doctor's referral for physiotherapy?

No referral required for standard physiotherapy. You can book directly online or by phone. Referrals are only needed for specific claiming situations like WorkCover, TAC, or Medicare chronic disease plans.

How do you differ from other Richmond physiotherapy clinics?

We specialise exclusively in sports injuries and active lifestyles, offering personalised care in an environment that reflects Richmond's character. Every team member understands athletic demands and creates treatment focused on getting you back to peak performance in your chosen activities.

What should I bring to my first appointment?

Comfortable athletic clothing for movement assessment
Private health insurance card if claiming
Any relevant scans or reports from doctors or specialists
Training diary or Strava data if relevant to your injury
List of current activities and goals

How long before I can return to my activities?

Recovery depends on your specific injury, activity demands, and individual factors. We'll provide a realistic timeline during your assessment based on current research and extensive clinical experience. Our focus is always safe, sustainable return to full participation.

Can you help with injury prevention?

While most people seek physiotherapy when already injured, our comprehensive assessments often identify risk factors for future problems. We provide education and strategies to minimise re-injury risk and optimise performance in your chosen activities.

Do you work with both recreational and competitive athletes?

Absolutely. Whether you're a weekend warrior, training for your first marathon, competing in local leagues, or pursuing elite performance, we provide expert care tailored to your specific goals and Richmond lifestyle.

What about cycling-specific issues?

For complex cycling problems like professional bike fitting or intricate cycling biomechanics, we partner with Ciclo Melbourne - our sister clinic specialising exclusively in cycling physiotherapy. We handle general cycling injuries in-house and refer to Ciclo when specialised cycling expertise is needed.

Ready to Get Back to Your Richmond Lifestyle?
