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.

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.

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!

Mihajlo has been my chiro for around 2 years and I have been following him around to different clinics all over Sydney. He is honest, transparent and I always feel better after seeing him.
