OUR APPROACH

It’s our goal to make an accurate diagnosis of your injury and to determine WHY it has occurred. If we understand what drives your injury, it is more likely that your treatment and rehabilitation program will be effective in the long term.

To achieve this we will listen to your story, assess your whole body in relation to your injury and empower you to understand and manage your problem independently.

SPORTS PHYSIOTHERAPY
Managing acute, chronic and overuse injuries.

MANUAL THERAPY
Hands on treatments to restore movement.

REHABILITATION
Restoring balance to your body.

Our Team

ERIN PARISH
PHYSIOTHERAPIST

Erin has degrees in both Physiotherapy and Exercise Science with over 15 years of experience in these fields. After initially working at Royal North Shore Hospital, he then moved into working in private practice in both Sydney and London where he has worked with athletes, performing artists and dancers from beginner to elite level. He was also a member of the physiotherapy team at the London 2012 Olympics working in the Athletes Village Polyclinic.

Through his experiences in the sporting world and after working more closely with the Thoracic Ring Approach, Erin gained a greater appreciation of the bodies’ interconnectivity and the importance of assessing movement patterns as a whole. His areas of interest include lower limb disorders, performing arts and dance injuries, racquet sports and golf related injuries.

Erin has attended numerous post-graduate courses which have allowed him to acquire a wide range of tools to assess and treat his patients. He is certified with the Titleist Performance Institute (TPI, Medical Level 2) to do golf and SFMA screenings and is currently completing his Masters of Sports Physiotherapy through La Trobe University.

He has over 14 years of sports coverage experience in various sports which range from Olympic fencing and modern pentathlon to national and international coverage of Touch Football (England Touch), Sydney Premier AFL (Northshore Bombers club physio 2015/16), National Rugby 7s, Shute Shield Rugby (Eastern Suburbs Colts), Club Netball (Manly Warringah), Oxfam Trailwalker and various running events.

KATE MCLEOD
PHYSIOTHERAPIST

With 20 years of experience in the Physiotherapy field, Kate has learnt that one of the key questions to be asked in managing an injury is WHY that injury has occurred. This has led to an interest in how we move and its effect on our body. She has done numerous post graduate courses with both local and international teachers to continue to understand the complexities of our amazing bodies.

Completing the Connect Therapy Series and Thoracic Ring Approach with Canadian physiotherapist Dr LJ Lee re-enforced her belief that all parts and systems of the body are connected and this has set the challenge of finding the ‘driver’ for each injury.

Kate has an interest in headaches, lumbar-pelvic pain, chronic lower limb injuries, running and yoga injuries. Re-training optimal movement patterns and returning the body to a state of balance empowers the individual to manage their own injury long term.

She has a special interest in the hypermobile body having been taken on a personal journey of learning with some significantly hypermobile patients.

Her passion is to hear your story and help empower you to understand your body better. Each injury is different because each individual is unique.

Reviews

“I’ve been seeing kate regularly for nearly 4 months now after years of seeing different Physio’s with short term gain but no long lasting change. With Kate’s guidance I am starting to understand my body better and can see change happening. Kate understands my body like no other medical professional I’ve seen before. As a health professional myself I’m very particular about I let help manage my own health as I have incredibly high expectations. Kate doesn’t just treat the symptoms and rather delves in deeper to find the root cause of the problem. I feel blessed to have Kate on my team. I highly recommend her.”

“Erin is highly knowledgeable and resourceful Physiotherapist. His ability to understand ones pain while providing clinical and compassionate treatment have made me feel quickly at ease despite being in pain. He gives thorough instructions to perfect physical exercises and is quick to modify and correct his patient’s technique should the moves cause any discomfort. Thank you Erin for helping me treat my lower back and hip injury.”

“Erin is far and away the best physio I’ve been to. Practical, focused, knowledgeable, and experienced. Highly recommended.”

“I am a qualified Pilates and yoga instructor and it is obvious to me that Kate and the physio lab are exceptional, high-quality, and professional. Understanding each body, and it’s history, is no easy task. Kate takes the time needed to investigate and unravel the patterns we hold in our individual bodies to find the root cause of our pains and problems so that she can clearly guide us on the path to recovery from injury, using anatomy and imagery. There is no end to what can be learned from Kate who is both knowledgable, generous, and positive. I recommend Kate to anyone who wants a deeper understanding of, and enhanced use of, their body”

“Kate is the only physio I will allow to treat my body. You can’t get any better than that. Her knowledge and experience makes her a unique physio who is determined to look for the cause of the problem and work on that, not just a band-aid approach to treating an issue. If you want a solution & greater understanding of your body, how it works and why it hurts, see Kate! 5 stars from me!”
