Physiotherapy and Injury management clinic focussed on health and performance. Sports Physiotherapy, strength and conditioning, massage and speed coaching.
Joining our team NEXT WEEK is Mia! 🎉
Mia has extensive experience working with a wide range of sporting injuries, from local athletes through to professional AFL players.
She is particularly passionate about helping people recover from hamstring and calf injuries, guiding them back to full strength, confidence, and performance.
Whether you’re looking to prevent injury, recover from one, or build strength for your sport and everyday life, Mia is excited to support you on your journey.
Mia is looking forward to meeting you in the clinic soon!
Bookings with Mia are available now for next week, head to our website to book! 📅💥
Fascial manipulation helps to create a map on how we can connect the body and understand when you get symptoms in one area it can be connected or related to other areas of the body!
This can be very useful, particularly to people who have system pain or pain that hasn’t responded a lot of conventional treatment. It allows the practitioner to start to look at other areas of the body that connect to the source of pain to get a resolution.

Hamstring Testing ‼️
The hamstring muscle group plays a critical role in high-speed running and force production. It is also one of the most commonly injured muscle groups, with deficits in strength or asymmetry often contributing to strain risk.
At MAD, we utilise objective testing technology to assess hamstring function, identify left-to-right asymmetries, and detect potential deficits. This allows for targeted intervention aimed at improving performance and reducing injury risk.

I recently had the opportunity to teach another Fascial Manipulation Introductory Workshop here in Melbourne.
Over the last 20 years, fascia research has expanded significantly. Yet in clinical practice, fascia is still often neglected or discussed in broad or non-specific terms (what is myofascial release?).
This is where Fascial Manipulation is different - supporting it you have arguably the leading edge fascia research team (Professor Carla Stecco, Dr Carmelo Pirri, Dr Caterina Fede to name a few) that provide the scientific foundation that defines and informs the method.
I’ll be running another 1-day Introductory Workshop on Saturday 21st March (hybrid format).
The course covers:
• How deep muscular fascia connects and organises movement into myofascial sequences
• How altered fascial mechanics can influence pain, proprioception and motor control
• The difference between densification, fibrosis and trigger points
• How to clinically identify and treat fascial dysfunction
Online lectures
- Anatomical organisation of muscular fascia
- Biomechanics and physiology of fascial tissue
- Mechanisms of fascial pain and dysfunction
In-person practical
- Palpation of deep fascia
- Identifying Centres of Coordination
- Detecting densifications
- Treatment techniques
- Overview of the FM assessment model
