Services
Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapy services diagnose and manage musculoskeletal conditions using hands-on treatments and corrective exercises. We specialise in treating neck/back pain, sports injuries, and post-surgical rehabilitation. Our evidence-based approach combines manual therapy with TGA-approved equipment to restore mobility and prevent future injuries.
Exercise Physiology
Accredited exercise physiologists create tailored programs for chronic disease management and injury prevention. We address cardiovascular, metabolic, and musculoskeletal conditions through supervised exercise therapy. Our programs include functional capacity assessments and workplace health interventions to improve overall physical wellbeing.
Laser Therapy
This non-invasive therapy uses high-power laser technology to accelerate tissue healing and reduce pain. We treat acute injuries and chronic conditions like arthritis by stimulating cellular metabolism. Each 4-7 minute session delivers targeted photobiomodulation to improve circulation and decrease inflammation without medication.
Radial Shockwave Therapy
Our shockwave therapy treats chronic tendon issues and musculoskeletal pain through acoustic wave stimulation. This FDA-approved treatment promotes tissue regeneration by increasing blood flow and breaking down scar tissue. Effective for plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, and shoulder impingement without surgical intervention.
David Spine Solution
This comprehensive system combines manual therapy with computer-guided spinal exercises to address back disorders. Using specialised equipment, we target deep stabilising muscles through controlled movements. The program focuses on posture correction, core strengthening, and preventing recurring back pain through measurable progress tracking.

Mark totally improved my quality of life and saved me from debilitating hip/back pain. Id readily recommend him to anyone in need of a physio. He really listens and tries to find the root cause of the pain. Hes also just a friendly dude who is good to chat to which was the sad part about him being so effective that I dont need to see him anymore. Thanks again, Mark!

My doctor who I saw for a second opinion recommended Workstrong after 3 months of persistent pain in my arm and shoulder from a work injury. My previous doctor suggested pills and injections, possibly surgery if it continued to persist. Clearly there was no need for this. I am very happy with the results from Workstrong Physio. Marks professional physiotherapy for pain relief, and suggested exercises, as well as working with James using The David Spine System equipment, has really strengthened targeted areas of my neck, back and spine and I am now about 95%, and almost fully recovered.

Mark was great! Kind enough to see me for some urgent treatment on my back when everyone else was either closed or booked out (lucky he had a slot open). Offered some good tips for some exercises to do at home to help in recovery. Really appreciate it!

August 2017, I rated my back pain an 8 on a scale of 0 (no pain) -10 (severe). After attending twice a week for 4 months using these amazing machines at Workstrong Physiotherapy, I can now say my back pain is around 1-2. I am getting my life back thanks to these wonderful machines which fix your back pain PERMANENTLY. I was sceptical at first, but the pain was getting so bad, i had nothing to lose.
If you suffer back pain, I would highly recommend this affordable treatment - I am so thankful I found this place. Very happy customer! :D
Update:
7 months on from my last session and happy to report

An injury at work to my neck and arm caused me serve pain and the inability to turn my neck, arm and generally lift or squeeze objects. But after having regular Physiotherapy and Exercise Physiology sessions using the David Spine exercise machines, I have reached the point of nearly being pain free and have returned to a normal range of movement. These treatments have changed my life and I believe without the help of both Mark and James i would have been forced to retire from work early and give up my love of scuba diving and going to my gym . Both Mark Jans and James Blackwell are both highly
