In Miranda
In the middle of Miranda, not on the edge
Our rooms are at Unit 1, 196 Sylvania Road, in the busy part of Miranda where the shops and offices are. Westfield and the Kingsway are a short walk away, so people book physiotherapy around a lunch break or a trip to the shops.
Miranda is our only address, and the person you book with is the person who treats you: Andrew Ellis, a physiotherapist since 2010 with about a decade of occupational rehabilitation work as well.
Being among the shops and offices, much of what we see is a stiff neck, a sore lower back or a grumbling shoulder that needs sorting without losing half a day. Sports and running injuries are treated here as well, with exercise and rehabilitation built around the training you want to keep.

What a first visit on Sylvania Road is like
Your first appointment is 60 minutes and costs $165. Most of that hour goes into working out what is actually going on: how it started, what makes it worse, and a hands on assessment of the area.
Follow up visits are 40 minutes at $142. Andrew uses trigger point dry needling, soft tissue release and joint mobilisation alongside a home exercise plan. Private health extras are claimed on the spot, and a GP Chronic Disease Management plan rebates $61.80 a visit, up to 5 visits a year.
Neck pain treatment in Miranda
A stiff or painful neck is one of the usual reasons people around Miranda book in, often after long desk days or waking up unable to turn the head. We check the neck joints, the base of the skull and the upper back, because the source is often not where the pain sits.
Treatment combines mobilisation, soft tissue release and dry needling where it suits, with exercises to hold the gains between visits. Wry neck, whiplash and headaches that start in the neck are handled the same way.
Lower back pain treatment in Miranda, and runners
Lower back pain arrives in every shape: the sudden lock up bending to lift something, the ache that builds through a shift on the shop floor, or sciatica down the leg. The first visit is about telling those apart, because a disc, a facet joint and a tight gluteal region are managed differently.
Sports and running injuries are also treated here, whether it is a calf, Achilles, knee or hip that has niggled for weeks. Rehabilitation is built around the training you want to keep, graded up rather than a blanket instruction to rest.
