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.
Physiotherapy in Russell Lea
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.

I had the best experience with Activ therapy Gladesville. Mitch was simply amazing! He truly has a magical hands. He understood my problem and with a touch of his hands, my scoliosis back pain was gone within minutes. I felt that my wings were clipped and Mitch unclipped it and I could fly immediately. Thank you Mitch. I’ll highly recommend Active... read more

Just finished my first consultation with Dr Mitch and I couldn’t be happier. He was able to educate me on the basics of spinal health, clearly and concisely - encouraging me to think of the overall picture and focus on long-term success. Walking out of the clinic with instant relief, and armed with exercises to strengthen my back between our appointments -... read more

Always a positive and great experience with Mihajlo(Mitch). I would highly recommend him to people who need neck and back pain treatment and help with posture and general movement health care. I am starting to feel like a 17 year old boy again and am able to play water polo again at a professional level. Thank you.

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.

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.

I began seeing Mitch some three months ago. The extent of my injury was quite severe, I had extremely limited range of motion in both arms/shoulders. In my first session with him, I met a person who genuinely cared and was determined to work with me until I overcame my injury and it’s side effects. Two months on, I’ve got... read more

Mitch is the best chiropractor I have visited. Service is consistent, fixed my long existing back and shoulder issues for exercises. Mitch is also the best, most understanding and friendly person to just talk about any problems. Couldn’t recommend more! You have to experience yourself.
