The Physio Studio

Get to know Chloe! 🌟

One of our super energetic and friendly physios!

Why did you become a physio?
I love being involved in sports, and the constant challenge of not knowing who’s going to walk through the door!

Favourite / least favourite exercise 🏋️
Barbell back squat and i've got a love / hate relationship with running 800s

What do you like to do outside of work?
Run, ride, swim, gym, read a good book and travel! Also a bit of horse riding when I can make it back up to the farm

Favourite running shoe 🏃‍♂️
Asics Superblast or Saucony Triumph 22’s

Coffee order ☕️
Almond latte

Favourite meal
Salmon and roast veg or any variety of pasta (especially during a pre-race carb load!)

What job would you have done if not physio?
I used to want to be a professional horse trainer or a dietitian (before I realised how much chemistry was involved!)

Best piece of advice you've received?
Consistency over perfection!

Do you have tendon pain that keeps flaring up?

Tendons can require very different management strategies depending on what tendon it is, and the stage or degree of irritation (the tendon continuum! 🤓).

Sometimes they need rest, other times they actually need more load!

🌟 Book in with our physios today to understand what's causing your tendon pain and how to manage it 🌟

Low back feeling stiff or cranky?

The bird-dog is one of our favourite exercises to rebuild control, stability, and confidence through your spine. It helps you learn how to move well again — without gripping, bracing, or aggravating symptoms.

In the clinic, we use this to assess coordination, target the right muscles, and progress you safely toward stronger, more dynamic work!

Congrats to our physio’s Kelsey and Steve for completing the recent Adelaide Half Marathon, with Kelsey snagging a PB! 🏅

Well done also to Sean who ran the Ballarat Half a couple weeks ago!

The Physio Studio will be closed tomorrow for Anzac Day.

We remember and acknowledge those who have served 🙏

Single-leg strength is one of the biggest foundations for healthy, efficient running! 🏃

A simple single-leg squat off a step challenges control, hip stability, ankle strength, and load tolerance — all the things runners rely on with every step.
If you’re dealing with knee, hip, or ankle niggles, or you’re looking to build more resilient running mechanics, targeted single-leg work can make a huge difference.
As physios, we use variations like this to assess strength, guide rehab, and build confidence in movement.

Stronger on one leg = stronger on the run! 🏃🌟

We’re pumped to welcome Michael to our physio team 🙌

A familiar face to many, he has a passion for helping people move better and feel stronger.

Coming from a footy background with the mighty Goody Saints, he knows what it takes to recover properly and get back to sport with confidence.

His approach?
👉 Hands-on treatment
👉 Smart rehab (gym + Pilates)
👉 Tailored plans that actually fit your life

If you’re dealing with a stubborn injury or want to level up your rehab — you’re in good hands.

Best piece of advice you've received
Listen to your body – you don’t have to run marathons daily – protect yourself and your body

Neck stiffness and pain are incredibly common — especially with desk work, driving, and training load.

We are here to help and Physio-guided management can be highly effective.

Neck pain is often related to sustained postures, reduced mobility, and under-loaded neck and upper back muscles.

Early on, gentle neck mobility and targeted stretches can help reduce tension and restore movement. From there, we can progress you through strengthening, postural control, and activity-specific exercises to improve resilience and keep symptoms from returning.

If your neck feels tight, sore, or restricted longer than it should — we can help!
