Physiotherapy in Five Dock

Whether it’s tension from carrying kids, lingering postnatal discomfort, or the toll of balancing work and family — your body’s asking for support. Physiotherapy can help you move through it with confidence and clarity.

What we often hear from patients in Five Dock:

  • “My lower back aches every time I lift the pram”
  • “I’m exhausted by the end of the day and my body feels it”
  • “My shoulder hasn’t been right since I went back to work”
  • “I’ve been ignoring this tightness for months — but it’s catching up”
  • “I want to feel stronger again, but I don’t know where to start”

These are signs your body is under more strain than it can comfortably manage:

  • Postural fatigue and tension
  • Pelvic or core weakness after pregnancy
  • Persistent neck or back pain
  • Mobility restrictions affecting daily tasks
  • Fatigue from juggling everything with no recovery time

Physiotherapy isn’t just about managing pain. It’s about rebuilding control, function, and strength — so your body can keep up with your life.

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 Five Dock

We take the guesswork out of recovery. Your first session is all about understanding your movement patterns, your symptoms, and what your body needs to function better.

From there, your physiotherapist will create a plan — combining hands-on treatment with movement strategies that are achievable within your daily life.

Whether you’re carrying kids, managing a desk job, or getting back into fitness, we’ll help you move more freely and feel stronger in the process.

Helping locals from Five Dock feel better and move better

Many Five Dock patients visit our Gladesville clinic — just a short drive or bus ride away. Here’s what they’ve shared:

  • 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!

His dedication goes beyond just solving immediate issues; he delves into the root causes and provides exercises to prevent future problems. His holistic approach to healthcare is truly commendable. Thank you, Dr. Mihajlo, for your exceptional care and commitment to your patients' well-being.

  • Mitch has helped with my old injuries and also, sorted out my newer issues. He has a great approach to new clients and injuries, questioning the past and present rather than just trying to fix it quickly. He gives exercises, he is friendly and very professional. I cannot recommend Mitch enough!
