๐ŸŽ‰ Happy Birthday to our fabulous Meredith! ๐ŸŽ‰

Today weโ€™re celebrating the queen of the front desk and the heart of our Tingalpa clinic... the one and only Meredith! ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’™

Sheโ€™s turning 21 again (and honestly, we believe it โ€” have you seen her energy and sparkle?!). With her warm smile, calming presence, and endless kindness, Meredith makes everyone who walks through our doors feel welcome, cared for, and like part of the Activate family.

Weโ€™re so lucky to have her leading our reception team โ€” and even luckier to call her a friend.

Help us make her feel extra special today. Leave a birthday message below and let Meredith know how much she means to all of us ๐Ÿ’ฌ๐ŸŽ‚๐Ÿ‘‡

Got multiple issues? Book longer

Our standard consultations of 30mins are the perfect length of time to assess and treat an injury in one area but we know that sometimes you might have a couple of areas giving you grief. That's why we recommend a longer consult if you want us to help you with multiple injuries or areas of the body.

Booking a long consult could help you to feel better and get back to what you love sooner.

If you like to use our online booking system booking a long consult is easy. Just choose the 60min option. If you'd prefer to talk to one of our team about your options give us a call or send us a message. We'd love to chat and see how we can best help you.

I was afraid Iโ€™d make my arthritis worse... so I avoided exercise.

Youโ€™re not alone. So many people tell us they were scared to move because of pain, past injuries, or being told to โ€œtake it easy.โ€

But hereโ€™s the truth:
โœ… Movement heals - when itโ€™s done right.
โœ… Our classes are run by Physiotherapists & Exercise Physiologists
โœ… We tailor exercises for arthritis, osteoporosis, diabetes, high BP & more
โœ… Youโ€™re supported every step of the way - no judgment, no boot camp vibes
โœ… Small groups. Friendly faces. Real results.

You donโ€™t need to fear movement anymore. You just need the right people beside you.

Activate Physiotherapy - Our Story

7 years and 2 children ago we began the journey of launching Activate Physiotherapy. What was once a solo physiotherapist working from a first aid room in the distribution centre of a National Company, is now a team of 10 working across our 2 clinics in northern and southern Brisbane.

Activate Physiotherapy was born out of the passion of our fearless leader David Sandison who always knew he wanted to lead a band of like-minded practitioners to provide effective hands on health care to our patients.

After running a successful injury management clinic onsite at a distribution centre Dave decided (while on an overseas holiday) to start a clinic. An opportunity arose when Brisbane based medical centre - Gumdale Medical Centre moved from its previous location in Belmont to a state of the art multi-disciplinary primary care facility in Gumdaleโ€™s Eastside Village.

Many a skype call was made from dodgy overseas internet cafes but nevertheless Activate Physiotherapy was born in October 2011. The picture in header was taken on the day after he flew home from Paris, with wife Cassie at the clinic was opening presided over by Federal Member for Bonner, Ross Vasta.
