Sports Injuries
We treat all types of acute or chronic sports injuries across all body areas. Our physiotherapists develop personalised rehabilitation plans to safely return patients to sporting activities. With expertise in ankle sprains, Achilles injuries, and complex joint rehabilitation, we combine manual therapy with sports-specific conditioning programs to ensure full recovery and prevent re-injury.
Clinical Pilates
Our individualised Clinical Pilates programs address specific musculoskeletal needs. Using reformers and trapeze tables, we create tailored exercise plans to improve mobility, strength, and posture. This evidence-based approach benefits patients recovering from surgery, managing chronic pain, or seeking injury prevention strategies through targeted biomechanical correction.
Women's Pelvic Health
Specialised care for pelvic floor dysfunction including incontinence, prolapse, and pelvic pain. Our services cover antenatal/postnatal care, pelvic floor strengthening, and post-surgical rehabilitation. We employ myofascial release, biofeedback, and tailored exercise programs to address both pregnancy-related and chronic pelvic health issues with a holistic approach.
Post Operative Rehabilitation
Comprehensive rehabilitation for pre- and post-surgical patients. We manage joint replacements, ligament repairs, and spinal surgeries using manual therapy, progressive strengthening, and functional training. Our physiotherapists collaborate with orthopaedic specialists to optimise joint health and mobility outcomes following both elective and trauma-related surgical procedures.
Respiratory Physiotherapy
Specialised treatment for respiratory conditions using airway clearance techniques. Our physiotherapists employ postural drainage, percussion, and breathing exercises to manage conditions like cystic fibrosis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. This service includes patient education on self-management techniques to improve lung function and reduce respiratory complications.

Stephen Hill has been amazing to me, I was having really bad lower back pain, to the point it would spasm when I laid down flat on my back. Stephen has transformed my back and I feel like a different person. Hes an incredible physio and a great guy!

I have been a patient at Pittwater Physio for over 20 years!! Sporting injuries, ongoing rehab/strengthening and general body maintenance from Alex & the Team have ensured I can live an active and adventurous lifestyle with full confidence in my strength and conditioning! The practice has worked with me through several major injuries and each time enabled me return to peak performance. 4 years ago I had major ankle surgery that should have ended my sporting career however Alex guided me through a program of maintenance and ongoing strengthening that allowed me to adopt different training methods

I came to Stephen with terrible back spasms and could hardly move. He was quick to locate the issue and start work on getting me back to full mobility. I was amazed how quickly he made progress. The take home exercises supplied assisted greatly in preventing further issues. I would highly recommend.
