We treat everybody like a topflight athlete. Our Sports Physiotherapy team will focus on your rehabilitation.
Whether you're an Olympic Athlete or a Sunday morning golfer, Sydney Physiotherapy Solutions is a sports injury clinic that has expert sports physiotherapists trained in the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of sports injuries.
The team at Sydney Physiotherapy Solutions has the experience to treat your injury and work with you through your rehabilitation process. Our aim is to return you to your chosen activities, stronger and more capable than before.
Sports injuries can be acute or chronic. Acute sports injuries occur as a result of a sudden impact or awkward movement, e.g. a muscle tear or a sprained ankle. Chronic sports injuries develop over time, often due to continual use of the same joints or muscle groups or can occur due to bad technique or occasionally structural abnormalities, such as an inherited bone or muscle problem.
Fortunately, approximately 90% of all sports injuries do not require surgery.
Chronic injuries can be prevented and treated by identifying the causal factor. If getting fit to ski or for other strenuous activities such as a marathon, triathlon our physios can help you prepare by coaching you thorough sports specific exercises.
We use technology, physical examination and discussion to get a detailed understanding of your problem.
We discuss and create your treatment plan in the first appointment. Access it at anytime through our smartphone app.
Our education, treatment technology and physical therapy gets you back to full fitness, with less treatment sessions.

The Alter G anti-gravity treadmill has arrived in the Sydney CBD!
Here at Sydney Physiotherapy Solutions we understand how important it is for runners and other athletes to recover quickly so that they can continue participating in the sport they love.
We are dedicated to providing the most current and effective treatments possible. The introduction of the Alter G Anti-gravity treadmill to our Castlereagh Street clinic in Sydney's CBD and our Chatswood clinic, is a prime example of the cutting-edge technology here at Sydney Physiotherapy Solutions.
What is the Alter G Treadmill?
The Alter G or anti-gravity treadmill is a revolutionary piece of medical rehabilitation equipment which allows "unweighting" of the body between 20 – 100% using an air pressure system developed by NASA. The unique capability means that normal gait pattern can be maintained safely, accurately and comfortably even whilst recovering from injury. This often leads to a quicker recovery and return to sport with less pain.
Sydney Physio Solutions is proud to be one of the only clinics in Sydney to have an Alter-G anti-gravity treadmill.
Who Would Benefit from Using the Alter G?
A large number of spinal and lower limb surgeries require patients up and walking normally as soon as possible. The Alter G provides an option for early rehabilitation suggesting a faster return to function and pain free activities.
Neurological conditions and/or those suffering from balance deficits (e.g. stroke) can exercise fully supported with the safety of the Alter G. The machine provides independence and confidence in walking and the progression to running and exercise.
The load bearing ability provides for a gradual increase in intensity particularly useful for those overweight or beginning running again.
Who Uses the Alter G Treadmill?
The Alter G is now available to use in our Castlereagh Street and Chatswood clinics. Contact us today to trial this amazing piece of technology.
The FMS (which stands for Functional Movement Screen) is an injury prevention tool used to identify limitations or asymmetries in your fundamental movement patterns.
These tests are key to identifying functional movement quality in people with no current pain complaint or known musculoskeletal injury. The FMS is a reliable and well-researched tool that works in the same way that a blood pressure reading might flag a cardiovascular issue before symptoms become apparent.
The FMS allows us to observe you performing basic movements by placing you in challenging positions where weaknesses and imbalances become noticeable. The results of your FMS then help us to communicate properly with you and your coach/trainer in discussing the safest and most effective ways for you to exercise.
The total appointment lasts for 45 minutes, during which time your screen is completed and an exercise program is tailored to correct any movement limitations found during the screen. If your screen identifies significant problems, like pain or gross limitations in movement, we'll discuss further consultation that may be required to appropriately deal with those problems.
We have practitioners at all 3 clinics Castlereagh Street, Macquarie Street & Chatswood, who are certified in administering the screen.
During your session, you should wear exercise clothes and don't worry, there's no sweat involved!
