Physiotherapy in Leichhardt

Right in the heart of Leichhardt, Human Movement Co. offers more than just standard physio. We help locals rebuild strength, restore function, and finally feel in control of their body again — with a plan that actually makes sense.

What we often hear from people living here in Leichhardt:

  • “My body feels stiff and worn down after a week at the desk”
  • “I used to feel strong — now everything feels tight and sluggish”
  • “I’ve been dealing with this issue for ages, and I’m finally ready to fix it”
  • “My neck and shoulders are constantly jammed”
  • “I want to move better, but I don’t know where to start”

These are more than just passing complaints. They’re signs something’s not working — and that your body is asking for a reset:

  • Ongoing tightness in your neck, shoulders, or lower back
  • Reduced movement or strength after an injury
  • A creeping sense that you’re not moving like you used to
  • Physical fatigue from long hours at work or parenting
  • A general loss of confidence in how your body feels day to day

At Human Movement Co., we don’t rush or overcomplicate things. We offer grounded, one-on-one physiotherapy that’s structured around you — not just the symptoms.

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 our Leichhardt physio clinic

Your session starts with a real conversation. We want to understand how you move, what’s not working and where you want to go. Then we tailor a plan that’s realistic, effective, and built around your life.

You can expect:

  • Hands-on therapy to reduce pain and restriction
  • A clear explanation of what’s going on
  • Simple, movement-based rehab that fits into your routine
  • No pushy upsells or generic exercise printouts

This is care that adapts with you — as your body gets stronger, so does the plan.

  • I’ve been seeing Tim for my neck pain, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. He took the time to understand my symptoms, provided excellent treatment that relieved my pain, and went above and beyond by teaching me exercises and stretches to prevent it from returning. His professionalism, expertise, and genuine care that he has had for me is amazing.... read more

  • Highly recommended! I've been seeing Chiropractor Tim for almost two years now and I am beyond grateful. He is a very thoughtful and caring professional, he will ask to the detail on what brought you to the clinic, explain you why your injury might have happened, give you exercises accordingly and follow up if required. Since he is an athlete himself... read more

  • I found Tim via my last Chiropractor. As it turns out, I have never been so glad to suffer a little bit of agony while Tim worked his way through my problems. Tim has a professional, caring, friendly manner, (as does all of the team at Human Movement Co) validating every piece of information along the triage path. When he goes... read more

  • I saw Tim because I had a lower back issue that had been bothering me for months and I hadn’t been to a chiropractor before. Tim listened to me and then outlined possible causes and a treatment plan. He is gentle and thorough in his treatment and the lower back issue is getting resolved. I would recommend Tim to anyone... read more

  • I’ve been seeing Tim at Human Movement Co for the past two months for plantar fasciitis, and I honestly can’t thank him enough. The pain was really affecting my day-to-day, and Tim has helped so much with managing it.
