GOAL DRIVEN.
EVIDENCE BASED.
PERSONALISED CARE.
The body is complex and unfortunately it isn’t perfect. No matter our lifestyles, we all share injuries and pain from time to time. At PhysioRX you won't just be a number through the door. You'll have complete 1 on 1 contact time with your therapist, and receive great assessment, treatment and advice. You'll leave with the confidence and clarity not only to resolve the root cause of the problem, but to then build resilience for the future.
MEET THE TEAM
Donovan Baker
PHYSIOTHERAPIST
Donovan has been in the health industry for over 10 years, and has a passion for all things performance and wellness. His experience has seen him work with football teams in the NRL and NRC, skiing related injuries in Japan, elite weightlifters and CrossFit athletes, along with all sorts of aches and pains with everyday people in private clinic. He's also been involved in the research side of physiotherapy, and as a scientific author is published in the ‘Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport'.
‘I started PhysioRX as I was tired of seeing the 'conveyor belt' treatment approach in clinics, with the focus on patient numbers and revenue, and not how best to help the person in front of me. I'm passionate about getting people out of pain and back doing the things they love. I firmly believe exercise and sound nutrition are key to a happy and healthy life, and my treatment philosophy mirrors this’.

OUR SERVICES
First we listen to your story and get your thoughts on the problem. This is the first step in narrowing down what the issue is. Then we assess your static body and joint positions, as well as overall postures to see if they have any correlation to your symptoms.

INITIAL ASSESSMENT
Next we have a look at how you move. This involves full body functional movements as well as specific joint, muscle and nerve assessments relevant to your pain.

MOVEMENT SCREEN
Lastly we put together a treatment plan to address the root cause of the issue. This is different and specific for everyone, but generally involves a mix of manual therapy and exercise prescription.
