Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapy services address musculoskeletal conditions through comprehensive assessments and tailored treatment plans. Using manual therapy techniques, exercise prescription, and advanced technology, we treat injuries, alleviate pain, and improve mobility. Patients receive education on posture, biomechanics, and injury prevention strategies to support long-term health outcomes.
Sports Physiotherapy
Specialised care for sports-related injuries combines acute injury management with performance enhancement strategies. Our sports physiotherapists utilise VALD technology for movement analysis and develop individualised rehabilitation programs. Services include prehabilitation, post-operative recovery, and injury prevention for athletes at all skill levels.

If I could leave more stars I would. I have seen Suzy, Matt and Tony and can not recommend each of them more highly. Each of these members have gone above and beyond, particularly when dealing with back spasms (thanks Matt!) Highly professional team who cares about what they do, and their clients wellbeing, plus have a wealth of experience and knowledge between them all. If you are looking for a physio and masseuse who know their stuff, look no further. You won't get any better then the team at Powerhouse.

So grateful for the care and attention I received today. I spasmed my back just before embarking on a long haul international flight. I was given a great examination, good remedial treatment, and provided with excellent advice for strategies and exercises to make the flight bearable and to get me through the next few days and into the future.

Ive been attending Powerhouse physio for about 4 years now and seen a range of physios and Everyone that I have seen has got me back playing sport better, fitter, faster. They care about you as an athlete and a person and give you an appropriate rehab program to suit your needs and to fit in with what you are already doing. They are all experts in their fields and have all had amazing experiences including Olympics, Commonwealth games, world cups, working overseas and working with a range of National sporting teams. If you ever need a physio I highly recommend seeing Suzie and her amazing

Two weeks ago I hurt myself playing hockey and was diagnosed as having a grade 1 tear in my hamstring. After 2 sessions at Powerhouse and a home exercise program which I completed every second day, I not only played almost a whole game of hockey today but it was my 100th game for my club and I scored a goal. Thanks Powerhouse for getting me back on the field faster, stronger, better!!

Many thanks to Suzie and Brandon
They really helped me get back from my ACL a lot quicker than I thought possible
Their advice and support was invaluable, they really take the time to ensure they explain the "why" as well as the "how". They are not looking to rush you out the door
I can't recommend them highly enough
