A Physio Clinic Where Sport Is Our Passion
Our team at Specific Physiotherapy have a passion for the management and prevention of sports injuries, as well as in boosting athletic performance. Several of our physiotherapists are closely linked with top-tier athletes, including those in the AFL, and have a background in working within the elite sports sphere at AFL clubs. Expect the following when you seek sports physio treatment with us:
1. In-depth Assessment
Firstly, we’ll begin with a thorough assessment, taking into account your current symptoms and your historical medical details.
2. Rehabilitation Strategy
From this, our team of physiotherapists will develop a custom treatment plan to address your sporting injury.
3. In-House Hands-On Treatments
Our lengthier consultation slots ensure more personalised time with your physio, during which they’ll utilise approaches tailored to your needs, like remedial massage, joint mobilisation, and dry needling, to name a few.
4. Personalised Fitness Plans
At our centre, generic exercise sheets and standard printouts are a thing of the past. We prefer a customised strategy, making sure your plan is uniquely yours. And, we’re equipped with on-site Clinical Pilates!
5. Continued Care and Proactive Injury Safeguards
Beyond the initial care plan, our team remains committed to your long-term well-being. We’ll address injury prevention and minimise the chance of re-injury, while also working to boost your athletic performance, helping you excel in your sport, whether it’s on the track, field, or court.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the location of your physio clinic?
Located at 149 Plenty Road, Preston, Specific Physiotherapy serves those in Kingsbury and nearby areas with tailored sports treatment options.
Is it necessary to obtain a referral from a general practitioner to visit a physio?
Booking your appointment online is straightforward, with no need for a GP referral unless you’re visiting under an EPC Plan (Enhanced Primary Care Plan) for chronic conditions.
Are you able to determine the primary cause of my sports injury?
Our physiotherapists, skilled healthcare providers, strive to diagnose during your initial visit. However, further examinations might be required for a conclusive diagnosis. Regardless, we’ll closely collaborate with you to establish a management plan tailored to your goals.
Can I expect Clinical Pilates to be included in my recovery program?
While our treatment plans are customised to each individual’s needs, we proudly offer Clinical Pilates at our Preston physiotherapy clinic. It’s an ideal adjunct fitness activity for athletes, providing significant benefits for rehabilitation and injury prevention.
What role does a sports physiotherapist play in avoiding injuries?
Through sports physiotherapy, we adopt a proactive method to prevent injuries by uncovering any specific weaknesses, imbalances, or mobility constraints in your musculoskeletal system. Utilising this assessment, we formulate customised exercise and conditioning routines that tackle these weak spots and simultaneously support your overall strength, flexibility, and endurance. We also offer insight into proper physical activity techniques, helping you to engage in your chosen sports with minimised risk and increased confidence.
What sets sports physiotherapy apart from conventional physiotherapy?
While general physiotherapy addresses a broad spectrum of conditions impacting the musculoskeletal system, sports physiotherapy zeroes in on complications and injuries stemming from physical activities and sports. Our sports physiotherapists bring a wealth of knowledge and experience in dealing with sports-related injuries, boosting athletic performance, and understanding the specific requirements of different sports, enabling them to customise a treatment strategy that aligns with your distinct sports-related aspirations.
Can sports physiotherapy assist individuals who aren't professional athletes?
Absolutely, sports physiotherapy isn’t limited to professional athletes; it’s beneficial for everyone who partakes in physical activities. From weekend sports enthusiasts and exercise buffs to individuals seeking an active lifestyle, sports physiotherapy can support injury rehabilitation, prevention, and the enhancement of overall physical function. The strategies used in sports physiotherapy are universally applicable, ensuring everyone can safely and effectively partake in their chosen physical activities or sports.
Can sports physiotherapy aid in addressing past injuries?
Sports physiotherapy can also offer a strategy for chronic issues or past injuries. A sports physio can determine the injury’s extent and its influence on your physical performance, devising a personalised rehabilitation strategy to ease lasting pain, boost mobility, and recover strength and functionality in the impacted areas.
How long does it generally take to recover from a sports injury with physiotherapy assistance?
Recovery periods for sports injuries differ, influenced by the specific injury, its seriousness, your overall physical state, and your treatment responsiveness. Our team of sports physiotherapists will craft a personalised recovery timeline after your first assessment, making adjustments as necessary throughout the course of your treatment.
What are the common techniques utilised by sports physiotherapists?
We utilise a diverse array of techniques such as exercise therapy, remedial sports massage, manual therapy, joint mobilisation, and dry needling. Collaborating closely with you, we identify the most effective treatment method to meet your objectives.
