📱 Did you know we offer Telehealth physiotherapy sessions?

Research shows that Telehealth can be just as effective as in-person physiotherapy for reducing pain and improving physical function. While hands-on treatments can relieve symptoms, they don’t always address the root causes or provide a lasting solution.

That’s where a personalized, step-by-step rehab plan comes in, tailored to you and accessible from anywhere in Australia—or around the world! 🌏

Allow me to reintroduce myself!

I’m Ben, a passionate physiotherapist originally from Ireland, and I’ve been calling Melbourne home for the past 7 years.

I have been a physio for the last 10 years working in private practice and sports in Australia and at home. I truly love being a physio and helping people achieve their health and fitness goals whether that be a return to running or exercise or living a more active pain free life.

I believe in lifelong learning so I always strive to stay up to date with the latest research in rehab to provide my patients with the best possible service.

I have been active throughout my life playing basketball, Gaelic football and going to the gym. I also love to run and am currently training for my next Marathon in Queenstown this November.

With this I have had my fair share of injuries so I understand first hand how they can impact not just your body, but your sense of identity and overall happiness.

I’m here to help you move forward with confidence.

Is your Rehab Challenging you?

I’ve seen too many cases where patients are given generic low-load exercises and some hands-on treatment. The result? They were stuck in the same cycle of pain and injury, never really getting back to what they love doing.

Your rehab should match the demands of your goals—whether that’s life, running, or training.

If you want to break the cycle of pain and injury and achieve lasting results drop me a DM today.

Do we offer hands-on treatment? Absolutely. But is it the solution to all your problems? Probably not.

We incorporate manual therapy as part of a comprehensive treatment plan to reduce pain and create a window of opportunity to get you moving and load your tissues effectively.

Pain and stiffness often stem from the body’s adaptations to past pain or injury. A thorough assessment is crucial to identify which tissues aren’t functioning effectively, paving the way for a long-term solution to your pain.

While manual therapy can make you feel better, it’s rarely enough on its own to achieve lasting results.

Great day yesterday at the . Happy to get round the 44km, very tough course. Well done to everyone involved especially the 60km ultra runners, maybe next year 😛

Are you following a plan with your treatment?

When working clients that have “failed” previous physio or rehab, a clear theme in their story is lack of a plan or direction with their treatment.

Patients often report having a little bit of hands on treatment, a few exercises that were not progressed only to find themselves back in discomfort after a few weeks or months

In our initial consultation we will go through a clear step by step plan tailored to your needs, guiding you from where you are now to where you want to be.

Whether you want to run further, work out without pain or simply play with your kids we are here to help.

A question I get frequently asked by my patients is, can stress contribute to their pain or injury?

All pain and injuries are multifactorial and stress can definitely be a contributing factor. This has been shown in the literature many times

When we are stressed this activates the body’s “fight or flight” mechanism and the body will perceive real or imagined threat. This response is crucial for survival but chronic exposure can have negative effects.

A study carried out by Pensgaard et al. In 2018, followed professional female soccer players over a season and found that there was an increased rate of acute and overuse injuries when stress levels were reported to be high.

Exercise can be great to relieve stress but it’s probably not the best idea to beat your quickest 5km run or 1rm lift if you are feeling stressed or overwhelmed.

The last side provides some ideas to regulate the nervous system and bring us out of “fight or flight” and back to “rest and digest.”
