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.

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.

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

Mitch is fantastic! Not only does he get great results, but it’s obvious he genuinely cares about his clients and goes above and beyond to help. He is enthusiastic and knowledgeable and knows how to explain and discuss your issues and how to work to fix them in a way that’s easy to understand.

Visited Activ Therapy recently and had my first appointment with Mihajlo Danilovic. He is very professional, caring, knowledgable, and punctual. My back and arms are feeling so much better after only one visit. I highly recommend them.
