Physio for Sylvania and Sylvania Heights
Sylvania has no train station, so getting to us means a short drive along the Princes Highway to Miranda, with street parking right at the front door. We see rolled ankles, sore knees and the aches of a busy sporting household seven days a week, including Saturday and Sunday from 8:30am to 6pm.

The Sylvania weekend, and what it leaves behind
Sylvania runs on weekend sport. Junior footy, netball, the Saturday morning dash between fields, and by Sunday night someone in the house is limping. Rolled ankles and sore knees are the usual suspects in growing kids, and parents pick up their own share keeping pace.
We are the clinic beside you. PACT Physio & Rehab is in Miranda, the next suburb along the Princes Highway from Sylvania, with Sylvania Heights right next door. Andrew has been a physiotherapist since 2010, and every assessment starts by working out what actually happened before setting a clear path back to sport.
If you searched for a Sylvania physio or a Sylvania Heights physio, this is what you get in practice: one clinic in Miranda, one physiotherapist, and a plan built around the sport you want to get back to.

Rolled ankles and sore knees in growing athletes
An ankle sprain that is walked off on Saturday often turns up again a fortnight later. Early assessment tells us whether it is a simple sprain, an ongoing synovitis or something that needs imaging, and the rehabilitation is staged so the return to sport is earned rather than guessed.
Knee pain in teenagers is common through growth spurts and heavy training weeks. Kneecap pain and jumper's knee respond to sensible load management and a targeted strength program, and we write that program around the training and game schedule already on the fridge.
For the parents on the sideline
Keeping up with active kids has its own cost: a lower back that seizes lifting gear out of the boot, a shoulder that complains after a season of throwing practice, a calf that goes in the parents' race. Andrew uses hands on treatment, including trigger point dry needling, a core focus since 2012, alongside exercise so the problem is less likely to return next season.
If dry needling is specifically what you are after, there is a separate page for Sylvania that explains how it is used.
Weekend hours that suit a sporting household
Because so much of the Sylvania week happens on Saturday and Sunday, we open both days from 8:30am to 6pm, and Monday to Friday from 7:30am to 9pm. That gives sporting families the option of a weekend appointment rather than juggling school and work hours.
An initial appointment is 60 minutes, so there is time for a proper assessment and the first stage of rehabilitation in one visit. Private health extras can be claimed on the spot, and injuries from the road or the workplace on an approved CTP or workers compensation claim are billed straight to the insurer.
