Physiotherapy Services
Sports Injury Management
At SurfEdge Sports Physiotherapy, we combine expert care with a genuine, personal approach. Whether you're an elite athlete, a weekend warrior, or simply aiming to stay active and pain-free, we’re here to help you move better, feel stronger, and perform at your best.
We bring extensive experience in sports and musculoskeletal physiotherapy, with particular expertise in knee and shoulder injuries, running injuries, and surf sports injury prevention, management, and performance enhancement. Our team has worked on the front lines of elite sport, major surf carnivals, and everyday injury management—giving us a clear understanding of what it takes to support recovery and performance at every level.
We take the time to understand your story—your sport, your training load, your goals, and the unique demands on your body. We know that no two injuries are the same. Our comprehensive assessments are designed not just to identify what’s happening, but why—so we can address the root cause, not just the symptoms.
Once we have the full picture, we’ll work with you to map out a clear, personalised plan. We’ll explain your diagnosis, guide you through your treatment options, and outline your expected progress, so you feel confident every step of the way. Our goal is to help you return to sport or activity as quickly and safely as possible—stronger, more resilient, and with the tools to stay that way.
At SurfEdge Sports Physiotherapy, you’re more than just a patient—you’re part of the team. Let’s get you back to doing what you love.
Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy
Musculoskeletal physiotherapy focuses on the assessment and treatment of pain and dysfunction affecting the muscles, joints, bones, and connective tissues. We provide evidence-based care to help you recover from injury, manage persistent pain, and improve your overall movement and function.
Whether you're dealing with a niggling shoulder, lower back pain, a stiff neck from work, or discomfort that’s stopping you from training or sleeping properly, our goal is to get to the root cause—not just treat the symptoms. We take a thorough approach, beginning with a detailed assessment that includes a physical examination and discussion of your medical history, lifestyle, and activity goals.
Once we’ve identified the underlying issues, we tailor a treatment plan to suit your needs. This may include hands-on techniques such as joint mobilisation, soft tissue therapy, massage, and dry needling, alongside a progressive, targeted exercise program to help restore mobility, build strength, and reduce the chance of recurrence.
We believe in empowering you with knowledge and practical strategies—so you’re not only recovering faster, but also gaining the confidence to move well and stay well. Whether it’s returning to work, sport, or daily life, we’ll support you every step of the way.
Running Assessments
We offer comprehensive running assessments designed to help you move better, run smarter, and stay injury-free. Whether you're returning from an injury, chasing a new PB, or just getting started, our team combines clinical expertise with real-world experience to support your running goals at any level.
Our running assessments go beyond surface-level observation. We take a deep dive into your running mechanics, injury history, training load, and overall physical condition. Using a combination of video analysis, strength and mobility testing, and functional movement screening, we identify inefficiencies or imbalances that may be contributing to pain, limiting your performance, or increasing your risk of injury.
These assessments are tailored to suit both competitive athletes and recreational runners. Whether you’re aiming to improve your technique, manage a chronic issue like shin splints or Achilles tendinopathy, or build back from a stress fracture, we’ll work with you to create a targeted plan. Our physiotherapists are trained in running-specific rehabilitation and performance strategies, so you can expect evidence-informed advice that translates directly to your goals.
From movement retraining and gait cues to strength and conditioning, we’ll provide you with the tools and confidence to run more efficiently and sustainably. We’re passionate about helping runners go the distance—stronger, safer, and smarter.
Pre-pointe Assessment
Our team understand the strength, control, and commitment required to transition safely onto pointe. Our pre-pointe assessments are designed to support young dancers, their teachers, and families in making informed decisions about readiness—prioritising both performance and injury prevention.
Our thorough assessment includes a detailed review of dance history, current training load, and any previous injuries. We assess strength, flexibility, motor control, balance, alignment, and technique through a series of dance-specific tests and observations. This helps us identify areas that may need further development before progressing onto pointe work.
We collaborate closely with dance teachers and use our clinical expertise to guide each dancer individually. Following the assessment, we provide a comprehensive written report outlining findings, recommendations, and a personalised plan. This may include targeted exercises to address specific deficits and support continued progress in the studio.
Our goal is to empower dancers with the tools they need to succeed safely and confidently en pointe. With our tailored support, you can feel assured that the transition to pointe is grounded in strength, control, and readiness.
