🌏 Why we exist at Movement Therapy 🌏

We’re here to move communities towards health optimisation by tackling Australia’s chronic health disease crisis.

Chronic conditions are the leading cause of illness, disability and death in Australia. According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare:

💡 1 in 2 Australians (50%) live with at least one chronic condition

🩻 3 in 5 Australians (60%) aged over 65 live with more than one

💊 Around 9 in every 10 deaths are linked to chronic conditions

These conditions include arthritis, asthma, back pain, cancer, cardiovascular disease, COPD, diabetes, and mental health conditions.

At Movement Therapy, we believe in a transdisciplinary, patient-journey focused approach — because tackling this crisis takes more than treatment; it takes prevention, education, and community.

💡 Our purpose is clear: to move communities towards better health, one patient journey at a time.

"The vibe at Movement Therapy is amazing. It doesn’t feel like I’m just working for someone — it feels like I’m working alongside friends. Everyone is so helpful and supportive, and that makes a huge difference in how much I enjoy coming to work. Professionally, being in a transdisciplinary team means I can reach out to anyone, anytime, without fear of judgment. Having the freedom to chat with colleagues who have different skills or more knowledge has really helped me grow and become more confident as a practitioner." - Mario, Exercise Physiologist.

🌏 A little update from us at Movement Therapy!

Earlier this year we made the decision to create two new pages — Movement Therapy Wollongong and Movement Therapy Picton 🎉.

On those pages, you’ll see more local flavour — spotlights on our therapists, stories from our patients, and features on the amazing community partners we work with in each clinic. It’s the best way to stay connected with what’s happening right in your area. 💙

Here on our original Movement Therapy page (yep, this one 😅), we’ll be focusing on the bigger picture — sharing our mission, purpose, and how we’re working to tackle Australia’s chronic health crisis through movement, education, and collaboration.

So whether you’re following us here for the why, or following your local page for the who and what’s happening now — we’re glad you’re part of the journey. 🙌

👉 Make sure to give Movement Therapy Wollongong and Movement Therapy Picton a follow so you don’t miss out on what’s happening in your community.
