Physiotherapy for Brunswick Patients

Brunswick and Brunswick West sit side by side, and Melville Road runs close to the boundary between them — which is why so many of our patients already live, work or shop along Sydney Road and simply walk, cycle or tram the short distance to their appointment.

Why Brunswick patients choose us

For a lot of Brunswick locals, we’re the closest physiotherapy clinic that isn’t a walk-in chain — a single senior physiotherapist who sees the same patients through an entire course of treatment, rather than whoever’s rostered on. Andrew Macdonald has treated Brunswick residents for everything from a bulging disc flaring up after a bad night’s sleep to a knee that’s been niggling since a weekend game of five-a-side at one of the local ovals.

Being this close also means less friction around the things that usually get in the way of consistent treatment: a flare-up on a work day doesn’t mean taking half a day off to travel across town, and a follow-up session after physio doesn’t eat into your evening the way a longer commute would.

What we treat

Most Brunswick patients come in for one of a few common patterns: lower back and neck pain from desk-based work or a physical job, sports and recreational injuries from the area’s ovals, gyms and running routes along the Merri Creek trail, and post-surgical rehab after a knee, shoulder or hip procedure. See our full list of conditions we treat and treatment techniques for more detail, or just call and ask — if it’s outside what Andrew treats, he’ll tell you plainly and point you toward someone who can help.
