Trusted Physiotherapy Clinic Serving Greater Geelong
Welcome to Physio Geelong Clinic
AHPRA-Registered Physiotherapists Serving Geelong Since 2018
Our Geelong physiotherapy clinic was founded on a simple belief: every patient deserves thorough assessment, honest advice and a personalised recovery plan — not a generic treatment protocol. Whether you’ve rolled your ankle on the Barwon River trail, developed chronic back pain from desk work, or you’re recovering from knee surgery, we provide evidence-based physiotherapy care with same-week appointments available.
Serving Geelong, Highton, Belmont, Bellarine Peninsula & Surf Coast
We treat patients from across the greater Geelong region from Highton and Belmont to the Bellarine Peninsula and Surf Coast. Every physiotherapist holds current AHPRA registration and APA membership, and you’ll always be seen by a qualified physiotherapist — never a student or unregistered provider.

How we work
Our Approach to Physiotherapy in Geelong
Every patient follows a clear, structured pathway from initial assessment through to long-term recovery. No guesswork, no generic plans — just honest advice and a treatment plan you understand.
1
Thorough Assessment & Accurate Diagnosis
Your first session focuses on understanding what’s wrong and why — not just treating the painful spot. We assess movement, strength, joint function, and contributing factors.
2
Personalised Recovery Plan
Based on your assessment, we build a treatment plan around your goals, lifestyle and timeline. Honest advice on realistic recovery expectations — not a generic protocol.
3
Hands-On Therapy & Exercise Rehabilitation
Manual therapy, dry needling, taping and soft tissue work combined with an exercise program you can follow at home or at our clinic — whatever suits you.
4
Long-Term Results & Injury Prevention
Once pain settles, we build strength, correct movement patterns and reduce your risk of re-injury — so you stay active long term and get back to what you love.
Our treatment methods align with current clinical guidelines from the Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA). We regularly undertake continuing professional development to ensure our methods reflect the latest clinical evidence.
who we help
Who We Help
In our years serving the Geelong community, we’ve worked with weekend warriors, tradies, office workers, retirees, NDIS participants and elite athletes from across the Barwon area.
Athletes & Sports Players
From junior netballers and recreational runners to competitive cyclists and AFL footballers training near GMHBA Stadium. We understand sport in Geelong.
Weekend Warriors & Active Locals
Cyclists tackling the Surf Coast and Bellarine trails, triathletes training around Corio Bay, and runners along the Barwon River. We understand the demands of an active Geelong lifestyle.
Office Workers & Desk Workers
Chronic back pain, neck pain and shoulder tightness from desk work are among the most common presentations we treat. We address both the injury and the cause.
Tradies & Industrial Workers
Many patients from Corio, Norlane and North Geelong work across the local manufacturing, logistics and construction corridor. We’re experienced in return-to-work programs.
NDIS Participants
We’re a registered NDIS provider supporting participants across greater Geelong — including self-managed, plan-managed and NDIA-managed participants with individually tailored physiotherapy programs.
Retirees & Older Adults
Post-surgical rehabilitation, chronic pain management, falls prevention and keeping Geelong retirees active and independent are all areas our team has extensive experience in.
Our physiotherapists
Meet Our Geelong Physiotherapists
We believe in being transparent about who is treating you. When you book with Physio Geelong Clinic, you’ll receive a bio for your treating physiotherapist in advance so you know their background, areas of expertise and approach. Visit our About Our Team page to meet the team in full.
Our Geelong physiotherapists are active members of the community. They train here, play sport here and understand what it means to live an active life in this region. That local knowledge knowing the trails around the Barwon River, the demands of amateur footy on a weekend and the physical toll of long commutes from outer suburbs shape the way we assess and treat every patient who walks through our door.
