Services
Physiotherapy is a holistic approach in diagnosing, treating and preventing disorders of human movement. We aim to improve the quality of life and wellbeing in all those that we treat. The physiotherapist profession is underpinned by strong evidence-based, meaning that our knowledge, skills and treatment approaches are all backed by the latest in research.
ConnectTherapyTM is a unique physiotherapy assessment and treatment model that considers the impact of whole body function, especially movement & postural patterns, on a person's symptoms/site of injury. It works very well for those pains or injuries that do not get better with localised treatment alone.
MDP is now offering services to assess and treat a variety of conditions that affect a child's movement and ability to participate in daily life, whether it be an acute or chronic condition. Our physiotherapist Brooke Giffen specialises in diagnosis, treatment and advice for all children and families from newborn through to adolescent years.
We manage sport injuries from the weekend warrior to the elite sports person. Whether it's a new injury from the weekend, or an ongoing chronic niggle, sports physiotherapy is all about rehabilitation and getting you back into your sport ASAP. Our physiotherapists can help you with an accurate diagnosis, evidence based treatment, hands on treatment, prevention strategies and exercise prescription.
Approximately 80% of the population will experience back pain or neck pain at some stage of their life. Pain is such a stimulus that it can actually 'switch off' some of the deep postural muscles in the neck and back. This can happen within 48 hours after the onset of pain. These muscles are postural muscles that provide support to the bones (and discs) of the lower back and neck when you move around.

I’ve seen many Dr’s and therapists over many years for pain, it wasn’t until I was treated at Menai District Physio by Melissa who suggested some simple tests that an autoimmune joint inflammation issue was found to be the cause, finally now I’m on my way to recover! She is amazing!!!

These guys are amazing! Ivana, Andy, Peter.... I have the ability to say that they literally helped me out of excruciating pain due to a bulging disc, post op after a back operation mixed up with osteoarthritis. .....

are the people to see. There are many other staff members which I have not had the pleasure to meet, however all in all they are caring and compassionate with only your best interests and concerns at heart.
I would recommend them 15 out of 10.
Simply because when I walked in the door I could barely stand, now 9 days later, I can walk

Fixed my knee and back right up. Who knew I was doing lunges leaning to one side my whole life. Like to go here regularly to keep everything in check!

Amazing and professional. Was able to get a same day appointment when I woke up with bad neck pain. Left the clinic with more mobility and a plan that got me back to racing in 48 hours. Very happy.

Went in with what I thought was tight hamstrings and left being able to adjust my body for peak exercise performance; strengthening certain underused muscles really accelerated my training growth rate. Amazing stuff, wouldn't have been able to develop as fast as I am now if I hadn't come here half way through.

Recommend going elsewhere to get a second opinion after being misdiagnosed
