​​Sports & Spine Physiotherapy and Pilates is a Sydney physiotherapy clinic specialising in sports and spinal injuries. We stand out because we do the really simple things well to get brilliant, long term results. Our motto is we want to get you from A (injured) to B (100% better) and quickly as possible and keep you at B for as long as possible.
We want you to get better and stay better, not just feel better (that’s the easy bit!)
We will treat the root cause of your condition, empowering and supporting you with the necessary knowledge to manage this. Rehabilitation is key, enabling your return to full function and happily managing your symptoms. Our aim is not only to get you back to sport, but to get your back to performance.

Our practitioners are highly qualified and have completed extensive post graduate training in Pilates, Strength and Conditioning, Spinal Physiotherapy, dry needling and breath work.
