About Us

Our Physiotherapists are all skilled clinicians, each with over 20 years experience working in the field of Physiotherapy. It is this “body of work” that enables insight into conditions of pain, dysfunction and altered mechanics. It is the ability of the therapist to identify dysfunction, treat, educate and direct management that allows the patient to improve and gain the confidence to set about changing the problem.
We are constantly evolving as therapists to bring the most recent advances to our practice.

Continuing education is mandatory for Physiotherapists in Australia and all Physiotherapists at PhysioEvolution participate in continuing education beyond the minimum requirement in order to apply the most up to date treatment.
