At the heart of what we do is community.

That’s why at Toorak Road Physio and Acland Street Physio, we back grassroots sport—where the passion is strong, injuries are common, and support can make all the difference.

We’re not chasing A-League or MPL teams.
We’re here for clubs like Old Melburnians Soccer Club—where players give it their all, week in and week out, often juggling work, study, and life.

These are the teams that actually need us most.

Here I am with the president Jon-Paul Michail, one of the many good people behind the scenes building a strong, positive culture at OMSC. We’re proud to play a small part in helping the squad stay healthy, recover faster, and keep showing up.

Because grassroots sport deserves real support. 💙⚽️
