Physiotherapy in Newtown

If you’re balancing laptop-heavy days with yoga classes, gym sessions, or long walks down King Street — but your body isn’t keeping up like it used to — we’re here to help.

At Human Movement Co., we help Newtown locals understand what’s behind their pain, tension, or movement struggles — and build a physiotherapy plan that actually makes a difference.

What we often hear from nearby Newtown locals:

  • “My upper back and neck are always tight after working from my laptop”
  • “I stretch, but my hips still feel jammed”
  • “I’ve had physio before, but I want something more tailored to my body and training”
  • “My posture’s taken a hit from years of working at cafés or the couch”
  • “I’m active, but something always feels a bit off”

These are often signs your body needs more than just maintenance — it needs a structured reset:

  • Chronic tension or tightness in the upper body
  • Hip stiffness or discomfort from prolonged sitting
  • Recurring niggles that interrupt your workouts or daily movement
  • Postural issues that you can’t seem to fix on your own
  • That sense your body’s capable of more — if you just had the right guidance

Physiotherapy is about building strength, restoring balance, and helping your body keep up with your lifestyle.

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 Newtown

We’re just up the road in Leichhardt — and we’ll make sure every session gives you something you can actually use.

Your visit includes hands-on treatment and a clear plan that reflects your real life — whether that’s working from a laptop, managing an old injury, or wanting to improve how you feel during yoga, gym, or pilates.

We don’t throw you a list of exercises and send you on your way. We listen, assess, and guide you through a personalised process of recovery and resilience.

Here’s what they’ve said:

  • 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’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.

  • 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.

Since he is an athlete himself... 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.

  • Tim is phenomenal. I had a lower back injury with displaced disks. Tim was both targeted and gentle with his treatment, and literally helped me stand up and walk again. He wants his patients to get better and also combines treatment with easy exercises to strengthen the body. He is amazing at his job but also very kind and genuine as... 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
