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:

  • I had no idea Activ Therapy even existed in Gladesville (it’s tucked away in the arcade) but I’m so glad I found it… after an old lower back pain flared up again recently, I was in a lot of pain & quickly googled a local Physio - luckily I came across these guys & was able to easily book an... read more

  • I had lower back pain and Mitch resolved my issue from my first session with him. From that day my back has been to 100 percent without Mitch I would have to live with the pain. Also the exercises really helped alot. So thanks Mitch.

  • 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!

  • 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
