Physiotherapy in Russell Lea

When you’re constantly juggling school runs, commutes, and trying to stay active in between — it’s easy to put your body last. But those aches and niggles are your body’s way of asking for proper attention, not just patch-ups.

What we often hear from Russell Lea locals:

  • “My back seizes up halfway through the workday”
  • “My body just feels stiff and tight all the time”
  • “I’ve had this shoulder pain for ages, but haven’t had time to deal with it”
  • “My knees ache every time I go for a run”
  • “I’m not sure what’s causing it — I just feel off lately”

These signs are more common than you think:

  • Persistent tension in your shoulders, hips or lower back
  • Postural issues from working or driving long hours
  • Old injuries that flare up under stress
  • Reduced strength, mobility or endurance
  • Uncertainty about how to train or recover safely

Physiotherapy helps bring clarity to all of this — so you can move forward with strength and direction, not just ‘managing’ the pain.

Hear from our founder, Dr Elch, as he shares how Human Movement Co. helps patients move from frustration to freedom.

What to expect when you visit us from Russell Lea

We don’t do guesswork or cookie-cutter treatment plans.

Instead, your session is grounded in a clear understanding of how your body’s moving — and what needs to change. We combine hands-on therapy, movement retraining, and practical rehab strategies you can stick to.

It’s care that meets you where you are — with the goal of helping you feel better and move more confidently.

Whether you’re trying to ease back into regular training, fix an annoying work-related issue, or just want a plan that makes sense, we’ll guide the process with clarity.

  • I began seeing Mitch some three months ago. The extent of my injury was quite severe, I had extremely limited range of motion in both arms/shoulders. In my first session with him, I met a person who genuinely cared and was determined to work with me until I overcame my injury and it’s side effects. Two months on, I’ve got... read more

  • I’ve had the best experience with Mihajlo (Mitch) who has helped me massively with improving my lower and upper back in the short and the long term. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for long term pain relief/recovery from an injury.

  • Mihajlo has been my chiro for around 2 years and I have been following him around to different clinics all over Sydney. He is honest, transparent and I always feel better after seeing him.

  • Mitch has been the best person I've worked with on fixing my lingering issues after some knee injuries. He managed to pick up details that 4 other physios and 2 chiros didnt notice, and gave me clear instructions on how to address them. Highly recommended!
