A Physio Clinic Where Sport Is Our Passion
At Specific Physiotherapy, managing sports injuries, averting them, and improving sports performance are areas our practitioners are particularly passionate about. Many of our physios have direct connections with professional athletes, notably AFL players, and possess experience from working in elite sporting environments at AFL clubs. Here’s a glimpse of what’s in store for you when you visit for sports physiotherapy treatment:
1. In-depth Assessment
First up, we’ll kick things off with an initial evaluation, delving not only into your present symptoms but also your past medical history.
2. Treatment Roadmap
From this, our team of physiotherapists will develop a custom treatment plan to address your sporting injury.
3. On-Site Physical Therapies
Owing to our extended appointment times, you’ll receive ample one-on-one time with your physio, allowing for the application of personalised techniques including remedial massage, joint mobilisation, dry needling, and more.

Here, we steer clear of routine exercise sheets and commonplace handouts. Rather, we embrace a tailored approach, providing a plan that’s custom-fitted to your needs. Plus, we offer Clinical Pilates right on our premises!
5. Continued Care and Proactive Injury Safeguards
After your initial treatment, our team continues to stand by you for the long run. We take into account strategies for preventing injuries and lessening the likelihood of further injuries, in addition to improving your sports performance, so you can shine in your chosen arena.
