Sports Physiotherapy Services Melbourne

Whether you're training for your first parkrun or smashing out 100km weeks, we get it – running is non-negotiable for you. The good news? Most running injuries are fixable when you address the actual cause, not just the symptoms.

ITB syndrome (often from weak hips, not tight bands)

Runner's knee and patella tracking issues

Plantar fasciitis and foot pain

Achilles tendinopathy and calf problems

Shin splints and stress reactions

Training load management

We use treadmill analysis, strength testing, and progressive loading programs to get you back on the Yarra trails stronger than before.

We love your enthusiasm for throwing heavy things around and doing burpees until you can't feel your legs. But sometimes your body needs a chat about sustainable training loads and movement patterns.

We partner with Melbourne's best shoulder surgeons for cases that need surgical intervention, providing both pre-hab and post-surgical care.
