Services
Dry Needling
Dry needling involves inserting fine needles into myofascial trigger points to relieve muscle tension and pain. This technique effectively treats conditions like neck pain, back pain, and sports injuries by targeting specific areas of muscle spasm. Our physiotherapists use evidence-based approaches to deactivate trigger points, promoting improved mobility and reduced discomfort. Patients often experience immediate relief and enhanced recovery when combined with other rehabilitation techniques.
Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy utilises warm water pools to facilitate low-impact exercise and rehabilitation. The buoyancy reduces joint stress while allowing gentle movement, ideal for post-surgery recovery, arthritis management, and general strengthening. Supervised by experienced physiotherapists, sessions improve mobility, balance, and cardiovascular health. The non-weight-bearing environment enables patients to perform exercises that might be challenging on land, promoting faster recovery and increased confidence in movement.
Sports Physiotherapy
Specialised sports physiotherapy addresses athletic injuries and performance optimisation. Our team treats acute injuries, provides rehabilitation programs, and offers preventative strategies for various sports disciplines. With physiotherapists experienced in AFL, soccer, and golf, we understand sport-specific demands. Treatment combines manual therapy, strength training, and biomechanical analysis to ensure safe return to sport and enhanced athletic performance through tailored recovery plans.
Pilates
Clinical Pilates integrates core stability, flexibility, and strength training for rehabilitation and general fitness. Tailored programs address postural imbalances, improve body awareness, and enhance functional movement patterns. Supervised sessions use specialised equipment and mat work to target specific rehabilitation goals, making it effective for back pain management, post-natal recovery, and injury prevention while promoting overall physical well-being.
Womens Health
Womens health physiotherapy specialises in pelvic floor dysfunction, pre/post-natal care, and continence management. Expert assessment and treatment address issues like urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, and diastasis recti. Programs combine education, manual therapy, and targeted exercises to improve pelvic health, enhance recovery from childbirth, and support women's specific physical needs throughout different life stages.

From the moment I walked through the doors fearing I would forever be stuck in a rut with my body, I was warmly welcomed and made to feel at ease with my situation and hope for the future. Everyone is so friendly and caring. Mat has, and is, doing a terrific job to get me my body stronger and to have a better understanding of how I can maintain it.The added bonus of Mats good sense of humour just adds to the Pilates experience whilst he also ensures the knowledge he imparts is understood. I cannot thank them enough. Go see them if you want results

My fifteen year old son had two ligament reconstruction and a ligament repair to the same knee nearly 8 weeks ago. Mat Cockroft is his physiotherapist and we are more than happy with his treatment. Mat is very professional and explains everything he is doing and why. Great to have a chat with aswell. My son was mentally struggling with the whole ideal with his knee and Mat was fantastic in relating to my son and having a chat with him and lifting his sprits. My son and I actually look forward to his sessions with Mat. The receptionists are always friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend Move

The 5 stars are for Amy Anderson last year for her understanding of my chronic pain. I Was disappointed with my appointment last week with the newest member of your practice. I had an appointment booked for 3.20. Didnt get in till 3.40, I was rushed through my app and was out by 3.55. She couldnt find my notes from last year, I am 9 weeks post op, I asked for dry needling but she said she would do it another time. It was a quick approx 8 min at moststint on the bed with lower back massage, I said my neck is bad but she said shell work on that next time and she rushed me out the door
