Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapy services address musculoskeletal conditions, sports injuries, and chronic pain through manual therapy, exercise prescription, and education. Tailored treatment plans focus on restoring mobility, reducing pain, and preventing future injuries. With clinics in Bendigo, Castlemaine, and Maryborough, we combine hands-on care with evidence-based techniques to improve physical function for patients of all ages and activity levels.
Sports Physiotherapy
Specialised sports physiotherapy treats acute/chronic sports injuries and enhances athletic performance. Services include pre-pointe assessments, bike fit evaluations, and rehabilitation programs for conditions like ACL tears and tennis elbow. Our physiotherapists work with athletes across all sports to develop injury prevention strategies and optimise recovery through targeted exercises and manual therapies.
Clinical Pilates
Clinical Pilates programs focus on core stability, flexibility, and injury rehabilitation using reformer equipment and mat exercises. Tailored sessions address back pain, joint injuries, and postural issues under physiotherapist supervision. Available in Castlemaine, Maryborough, and Kangaroo Flat, these classes combine rehabilitation with strength training for improved physical function and body awareness.

Exercise physiology services manage chronic conditions like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and osteoarthritis through personalised exercise programs. Our accredited exercise physiologists in Castlemaine and Maryborough design safe, effective routines to improve mobility, reduce symptoms, and enhance overall health outcomes for NDIS participants and individuals with complex medical needs.

Gait and running analysis uses video technology to evaluate movement patterns and identify biomechanical inefficiencies.

I made my first appointment at Castlemaine Physiotherapy due to an injury that was severely impacting on my sleep. I have been so impressed with the treatment I have received from Shweta and have found the tailored exercises an invaluable part of my recovery. Shweta has been attentive, great at explaining the treatment process, and her gentle encouragement helped me feel more connected to my bodies capacity to recover and thrive, which in turn helped me to commit to the set exercises.

Dan at Castlemaine Physiotherapy was recommended to me by a friend when I was experiencing pain in my knee. He quickly worked out what the problem was, started correcting it and gave me exercises to strengthen the problem area. Now that I have had a few appointments and have been consistently following Dan's advice , the pain is non-existent, flare-ups are minimal, and I am nearly back to where I was before the pain started. Big thumbs up to Dan and the team!
