Total Body Physio Prev. Five Dock Physiotherapy & Sports

Our physio staff are highly qualified university graduates with expert knowledge & skills in the pre

Five Dock Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Centre was established in the early 1990s, initially located next door and then moved into Five Dock Medical Centre in 2006. The practice has since grown and we now have two full time physiotherapists in our clinic with another physio set to start at the end of the year. Our staff pride themselves in being members of the Australian Physiotherapy Association

(APA), Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy Australia and Sports Physiotherapy Australia and all physios are graduates of the highly regarded Sydney University. As a team our physios have a particular interest in not only treating our patients current symptoms, but also in injury prevention and addressing the biomechanical compensations that occur with injury. We firmly believe that if these abnormal compensations are not corrected, surrounding musculoskeletal structures will be adversely affected and a recurrent or chronic condition is likely to develop. Five Dock Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Centre has been affiliated with various sporting clubs and teams over the years providing on-field coverage and treatment for both male and female competitors, but we certainly do not only deal with sports people. We thus treat a range of Injury Areas both with the sporting population and the general public.

Ankle sprain? Here’s how we lock it down 👇

Taping isn’t just about support — it’s about
stability, protection, and getting you back moving confidently.

Step-by-step:�🔹 Anchor – sets the foundation�🔹 Stirrups – limits side-to-side movement�🔹 Figure of 6 – adds structured support�🔹 Calcaneal loop – secures the heel�🔹 Heel lock – controls rotation�🔹 Final anchor – keeps everything in place

Each layer has a purpose. Done right, it can make a huge difference in recovery and confidence on your feet.

Save this for later & share with someone who’s always rolling their ankle 👀

Recovering from a quad tear? This is where most people go wrong.

They either rush back too hard… or don’t load the muscle enough.

Both slow you down.

At our physio clinic, we rebuild quads step by step:
�✔️ Leg extensions to safely reintroduce load�✔️ Hack squats for controlled strength�✔️ Leg press to build confidence under load�✔️ Front squats for stability + full-body control�✔️ Pendulum squats to finish with intensity

It’s not about doing everything at once.�It’s about progressing the right way.
