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.
Physiotherapy in Five Dock
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.

I have been seeing Mitch for the last couple months and can’t even express how happy I am with the progress so far. I initially went to improve my posture but the results far exceed any expectations I had.

Staff are very friendly and welcoming at Activ Therapy Gladesville. I have found my physiotherapist Gary to be very informative and professional . He has helped my hip pain tremendously and given me exercises to continue my recovery. I have no hesitation in recommending Activ Therapy to friends and family.

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!

Great Physio. I saw Mitch with a few issues some going back years and a new leg problem. He not only gave me a stretch out and good "back crackin'" but also all the tools I need to continue my therapy by myself. He's not too pushy and is genuinely there to see you heal. Couldn't recommend a better physio... read more
