Physiotherapy in Russell Lea

When you’re constantly juggling school runs, commutes, and trying to stay active in between — it’s easy to put your body last. But those aches and niggles are your body’s way of asking for proper attention, not just patch-ups.

What we often hear from Russell Lea locals:

  • “My back seizes up halfway through the workday”
  • “My body just feels stiff and tight all the time”
  • “I’ve had this shoulder pain for ages, but haven’t had time to deal with it”
  • “My knees ache every time I go for a run”
  • “I’m not sure what’s causing it — I just feel off lately”

These signs are more common than you think:

  • Persistent tension in your shoulders, hips or lower back
  • Postural issues from working or driving long hours
  • Old injuries that flare up under stress
  • Reduced strength, mobility or endurance
  • Uncertainty about how to train or recover safely

Physiotherapy helps bring clarity to all of this — so you can move forward with strength and direction, not just ‘managing’ the pain.

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 Russell Lea

We don’t do guesswork or cookie-cutter treatment plans.

Instead, your session is grounded in a clear understanding of how your body’s moving — and what needs to change. We combine hands-on therapy, movement retraining, and practical rehab strategies you can stick to.

It’s care that meets you where you are — with the goal of helping you feel better and move more confidently.

Whether you’re trying to ease back into regular training, fix an annoying work-related issue, or just want a plan that makes sense, we’ll guide the process with clarity.

  • My experience at Active Therapy Gladesville has been a positive one. Both Mitch and Gary are very knowledgeable and professional. At 67, I'm trying to improve my all round flexibility to continue playing golf. They have provided some specific exercises to achieve that. Both guys are super friendly and I highly recommend them.

He was able to get to the crux of the matter quickly and explained to me what was happening and what I could do (routines/exercises) to improve my situation.
