We do it right the first time by using an extensively researched assessment and treatment process which aims to get you pain free in the least amount of time and sessions. Accuracy is the hallmark of a good sportsperson, and we feel the same about diagnosing your injury. A few millimeters can make the difference to how you manage a problem.
Back pain or injury can vary from a minor annoyance to a debilitating pain. At Thornleigh Performance Physiotherapy we will assess how your pain behaves and determine the right course of action based on a thorough examination in an effort to see which nerves, joints, muscles, and/or discs are involved.
In an effort to give you an insight into how our skilled physiotherapists work, we bring you a sample of actual cases and how they are managed. As each individual is different and complex, please consider that specific results may differ from person to person and this is not to replace actual human interactions!

If you're a team player who is innovative, keen to take responsibility while learning in a vibrant and fun environment and ready to take the next step in your career, then this is the position for you!We are looking for a enthusiastic and passionate Sports / Remedial Massage Therapist to join the team at Thornleigh Performance Physiotherapy.

I am very happy with this practice. They are very professional and work hard to get you moving as quickly as possible. They give a clear explanation as to the cause and effect of the injury/problem and demonstrates a variety of stretches to do at home to get you moving as soon as possible, which avoids frequent trips back to the physio. Would highly recommend for any injuries of all ages.

I have had neck and back pain that have been debilitating and prevented me from enjoying life. I would get a massage or use pain killers to treat this but it was only temporary. I also had experience with Physio who I had recurring visits with who didn’t solve the problem. Thornleigh Performance are professional and in my experience accurate I always feel I am on the road to recovery with their service.

Pearce is very patient and friendly when trying to find out the source of my problematic areas.
He applied different methods to find the optimal solution to the problem.
I always feel much better after finishing the session.

Great Physio. I have had Aleea fix me and I have gained the help and knowledge from her to not have to have many repeat appointments. Highly recommend.

I’ve been meaning to share my experience for some time as I have been seeing Aleea for. Year as I had a number of injuries. She has been diligent, creative in her treatment and is genuine in her concern. A number of friends and patients of my husbands now see her and have had the same care. Tina who is the receptionist is always interested and gracious and do welcoming. Though I have not seen the other Physio’s the buzz in the waiting room is they are all fab.

Pearce is an excellent physiotherapist whom i've been seeing now for over 3 years. I had a motorcycle accident 7 years back, and when we moved from the Northern Beaches and out of range of my old physio, it took me 11 physios to find the right one. Pearce is thorough, a nice bloke to boot, and I would highly recommend anyone needing any treatment to try him just the once. If you do, you will return, again and again.
