Flex Out Physiotherapy prides itself on its personalised patient approach. We believe in a practice based on manual therapy, with emphasis on the principals of early mobilisation, massage, strengthening and stretching. We infrequently utilise machines and only ever use as an adjunct to a treatment rather than a complete treatment. Our formalised approach to treatment includes liaising with all parties including specialists, general practitioners, nurses and of course the patient. This approach has been developed utilising the broad range of experiences from our team, who have worked in rehabilitation hospitals, private hospitals, public hospitals, private practice and Defence Force.

At Flex Out Physiotherapy we are committed to providing clients with a personalised-patient approach. We offer longer consultation times, one-on-one interactions and most importantly, a focus on ‘hands-on’ manual therapy techniques (early mobilisation, strengthening, stretching and exercise to restore function). We believe the consistency of this approach has been fundamentally important in the ‘word of mouth’ advertising that has been the main driver of our business over the past 21-years.

Services offered inlcude physiotherapy, clinical pilates, exercise physiology and workplace health physiotherapy.
