Physiotherapy in Balmain

Whether it’s years of caring for others, sitting in long commutes, or trying to stay active after 40 — your body eventually asks for more than just rest or random stretching. At Human Movement Co., we help Balmain locals recover, rebuild and move better with physiotherapy that’s hands-on, structured, and tailored to your life.

What we often hear from locals nearby:

  • “My shoulder still isn’t right after that old injury”
  • “I want to train again but I’m scared I’ll flare it up”
  • “I’ve done physio before — but it felt rushed or generic”
  • “My lower back is constantly stiff — it’s affecting everything”
  • “I just want to feel strong again”

These aren’t just complaints — they’re clues your body is trying to give you:

  • Recurring stiffness or joint pain
  • Imbalances or movement restrictions
  • Previous injuries that never fully resolved
  • Muscle weakness or poor control
  • A lack of confidence in how your body moves

Physiotherapy at our Leichhardt clinic is about understanding your goals and giving you a clear path toward them — not just treating symptoms and hoping for the best.

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 Balmain

We’re a short drive from Balmain — and our approach is simple and personal.

We won’t just ask where it hurts. We’ll figure out why — and what to do next.

How we’re helping people just like you from Balmain

Many of our patients from Balmain come to our Leichhardt clinic seeking more than a temporary fix — they want a real plan that makes sense and leads somewhere.

Here’s what they say:

  • 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 for some time already and I couldn't be happier with the results. His knowledge of chiropractic care is impressive, and he always takes the time to explain my treatment plan.

  • 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
