We have same day physio appointments available Monday-Saturday and are open from 8am through until 7pm weekdays and Saturday mornings at our Brisbane branches in Stafford and Gumdale. It is likely you will feel relief in your initial physiotherapy sessions but everyone is different. We will work with you to create a personalised physio plan to have you feeling better as soon as possible.
You should work with a physiotherapist until your symptoms have resolved or you've reached your goal. During your recovery we will never tell you to stop doing the things you love. In the meantime our physio will help to modify your activities design a plan to get you back to where you need to be. We take the time to understand you and work with a network of GP's, specialists and other allied health to heal what hurts from every angle.

Like many teenagers I grew up wanting to represent my country and become a Wallaby. Countless injuries kept me off the field as I watched this dream slowly fade away. At the time the so called 'expert' health professionals prescribed me a mix of rest, medication and wait and see advice. Even as a kid I was let down and disappointed by the whole experience as I was left wondering - what's the point?
Physiotherapists are experts in movement and function. We will assist you to recover from injury, reduce pain and stiffness and increase mobility. We can help you manage issues which may have been present from birth, acquired through accident or injury, or are the result of ageing or life-changing events.
The initial consultation fee of $200 includes the cost of the fixation device and imaging if required. Patients with eligible extras cover may be entitled to a health fund rebate under their Physiotherapy items. Some devices may have an additional charge. No xrays - No Problem. We will arrange bulk-billed xrays to ensure your injury is diagnosed and treated under the highest quality care.
Led by a qualified Physiotherapist, we will perform a thorough assessment before you commence your program in order to create an individually tailored rehabilitation exercise program. Working one-on-one or in a group of up to four we will continue to monitor your progress and make adjustments to your Pilates inspired rehab program to ensure you are achieving the clinical improvements you need to heal and feel great.
Our team of Physiotherapists and Exercise Physiologists are experienced in providing Corporate Health Services. We have successfully reduced injury rates and aided in reducing time lost to injury and time to return to duties. We tailor individual corporate health packages to help organisations combat common issues and implement preventative positive health programs.

I found Activate Physio online as i was looking for an alternative to managing my son's fracture instead of waiting at emergency for hours. I got an appointment the same day and they organised xrays and a cast and a cast cover so that he could swim in which was great as we were going camping for the Xmas holidays. Great service and much relief for our family. Thankyou Scott

Mike at Activate Physiotherapy is the only physio that has fixed my chronic neck problems!
I'm a relatively fit person - run 3-4 times a week - but as an IT guy I do tend to spend a lot of time in front of the computer. Yep.. it's an occupational hazard.
If you're anything like me, then do yourself a favour and go see this big bearded legend. He's strong, yet tender, and skilled at sports massage and diagnosing long standing issues.
I've also had several rounds of acupuncture which really has helped ease my neck issues. I go back and see him every few months.

I cannot speak highly enough of Scott at Activate Physiotherapy. I saw him regarding a wrist injury and was so relieved to receive expert advice. He was very professional, knowledgeable, understanding and friendly. He was able to tell me the severity of the injury, an expected recovery time, and advise on what activities are safe to continue. He was very gentle in treating it, and I have had almost no pain since it has been strapped. Thanks Scott!

I had treatment over a year with Emily for a problem with my Jaw. For the last 2-3 months I have been relatively pain and discomfort free, even after regular visits and treatments. We have decided to seek medical advice in future as it may be a structural issue that specialists and surgeons have viewed in the past. The physiotherapy has certainly helped a lot and the work Emily has done has been most beneficial. I would have no hesitation in recommending Activate Physiotherapy at Gumdale, in particular Emily Phillips.

Absolutely amazing! I was desperate to have my fractured ankle taken care of after being stuffed around by the doctor. They booked me in the same day and sorted a moon boot for me. Lovely staff who go above and beyond. Emily the physio is so lovely and makes you feel comfortable, I had never been to a physio before and I felt very taken care of. Now I am pretty much completely healed with no issues thanks to Emily. They did everything they could to accommodate me and I would recommend the team to everyone!

The care we received when my husband had a complex fracture was second to none. From the initial visit where they fast tracked his diagnosis, put us onto an in demand specialist surgeon, attended the surgery and visited in hospital - they went above and beyond. Post surgery Dave, Mike and Scott worked tirelessly to get him back to his best so he could be back to work before the birth of our baby. I can’t thank them enough.

I saw Myles for a trouble shoulder the past few weeks. It's been giving me grief for years and I've been to many other physios/osteos/chiros and specialists with no luck. But a friend of mine recommended him after sorting out his crook back....and I can't believe I"m saying this...but my shoulder seems to finally be good again! (touch wood). Thankyou so much Myles for your awesome work, highly recommended physio who I heard even worked in the olympics too!
