What makes a Senior Physio different?

Our Senior Physiotherapists have completed additional post-graduate training beyond their degree — meaning they've deepened their expertise in specific areas rather than remaining generalists.

  • Completed post-graduate diplomas or certifications in their specialist area
  • Experienced with complex, multi-layered, or recurring conditions
  • Skilled in advanced techniques: dry needling, Pilates, manual therapy, running analysis
  • Able to manage cases that haven't resolved with standard physio
  • Still excellent for straightforward injuries — you'll simply get more thorough care
Not sure if this is the right level?

Our Senior Physiotherapists suit most patients — from a first-time ankle sprain to chronic back pain that's been around for years. Book a free 15-minute call and we'll point you to the right clinician for your situation at no charge.
