Services
Physiotherapy is our main service, however we understand that looking at an overall body approach works well for most patients. We also offer the services of a experienced Massage Therapist who works closely with our team of Physiotherapists and a Pilates studio located on our mezzanine level available for class or one on one appointments.
Cervicogenic headaches respond very well to physiotherapy treatment. The aims of physiotherapy are to identify the relevant source(s) of the pain and treat them so that the Physiotherapist can alleviate the pain/symptoms. In chronic cases there is usually more than one source of the referred pain from the upper cervical spine (specifically multiple articular levels as well as muscular components).
Sports Physiotherapy is a specialised branch of physiotherapy that involves prevention, evaluation and management of injuries resulting from sports and exercise participation at all ages and levels of ability. Provide resources to prevent problems, whilst ensuring a safe and durable return to sports participation.
Accredited Exercise Physiologists (AEPs) are university qualified health professionals who specialise in the delivery of exercise, lifestyle and behavioural modification programs for the prevention and management of chronic diseases and injuries. AEPs provide physical activity and behaviour change support for clients with conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, depression, cancer, arthritis, COPD and many more.
Massage therapy involves placing pressure on muscles, ligaments, tissues and tendons to help rehabilitate injuries and relieve tension and pain. Massage can be used as a complementary treatment to physiotherapy services, particularly for those with chronic pain and tension or those recovering from injuries.

Came here with a hammie injury and was fixed up by Mathew. Couldnt have gone smoother. Im so happy with how quickly I mended. Thanks for not just fixing the problem but taking the time to workout what happened and explaining how to avoid reinjury. Also thanks for keeping the session shorter but with a full focus on me. I've been to other physios where i'll be there for over an hour with "heat packs and dry needles" and spending the majority of the time without the physio in the room. Will be very happy to return :)

Highly recommended. Matthew was absolutely wonderful with my 11 year old who was getting his cast off after a broken arm. I don't often leave reviews but I was just so impressed.

Kogarah Physiotherapy and Sports Clinic were excellent in diagnosing my problem with my hip and shoulder and providing the right treatment for getting me back to functioning and pain free motion. Matthew was professional, showed great insight into my conditions and provided me with top level care.

It’s not easy to find a very good physiotherapist and ever since my GP has referred me here, I didn’t have to look elsewhere. I’ve been coming here since January 2020. From an injured knee, to lower back pain, and very tight muscles, Matt has helped me along the way. He’s very knowledgeable and gives excellent advices on what to focus on. Everyone’s friendly yet professional where you will always find a smiling face. I definitely recommend Matt and his team!

I’ve been coming to see Matthew Khalaf for over 3 years now for an array of sporting injuries such as ankles, groin, wrist, shoulders & back. Matthew has an extensive knowledge on how to go about recovery & preventative measures. I highly recommend going to see him.

Have been a patient under Matthew Khalaf for several months both pre and post operation for shoulder rotator cuff repair. Matthew has been very professional in his appraisal and post operation has got me back on track far quicker than I expected. Thanks to the Kogarah physiotherapy team

I saw Julian for plantar fasciitis and then a meniscus tear in my knee. He was friendly, professional and thorough. He listened to my concerns and we worked out a treatment plan that fit my other health needs. I'm so glad I've found a great physio practice near our new place. Would definitely recommend!

I highly recommend Kogarah Physiotherapy Sports Clinic.
I had a painful neck & shoulder injury with limited movement for months.
I originally called the clinic after hours & left a voicemail. They called me back the very next morning with an appointment time.
I’ve had 3 physiotherapy sessions with Brittany & have regained movement in my shoulder & neck after two sessions.
I’m very impressed overall. Brittany & the staff are friendly & professional. The clinic is very clean & comfortable.
