Meet our Sport Experts

Our physiotherapists are experts in Sport pain, injury and recovery. Choose a physio to book an initial consult today and begin your journey back to feeling 100%.

We’ve all seen it on the sports field. The swollen limp of a sprained ankle. The season ending disappointment of a ruptured ACL. That look-away, nauseating moment of a dislocated shoulder. Sports injuries happen to both weekend warriors and elite athletes, and we treat them all.

The most common sports injuries we see are sprains, dislocations, meniscus tears, broken bones, and patella (kneecap) trauma.

Sports injury treatment options may include manual therapy, dry needling, massage, joint mobilisation, plus targeted home/gym-based exercise programs and hydrotherapy.

If your sports injury needs a more intense treatment plan, we have local specialists on speed dial. You get the best possible treatment plan in consultation with experts.

At Macquarie Physiotherapy, our team is dedicated to implementing the best recovery and rehabilitation possible, so you can get back on the field, and play the sport you love.
