Physiotherapist – Women's Health & Strength/Performance Rehab Interest | Melbourne, VIC
This isn't a clinic where physio happens in one room and everything else happens somewhere else. It's physio, Pilates, strength, yoga and recovery all under one roof, with the physios and instructors actually talking to each other about the same clients. If you like the idea of being part of a proper team rather than a solo operator with a treatment table, this one's worth a read.
About the practice
- Women's health is a genuine specialty here, not a side service, with dedicated care across pelvic floor, pregnancy and postnatal recovery
- Equally, a genuinely gym-integrated model, strength classes and personal training sit alongside physio and Pilates, not off in their own silo, "strong is a skill, we teach it" is close to the studio's actual philosophy
- Clients are treated for the long haul, plans are built to outgrow the problem rather than just quiet it down for a while
- Well reviewed, well established local practice with a loyal, long standing client base
- HICAPS on the spot, and no referral needed for clients to walk in, so you're seeing a genuinely varied caseload
- A warm, people first culture, the kind of place clients come back to for years, not just one round of treatment
What you'll be doing
- Assessing and treating women's health presentations: pelvic floor dysfunction, pregnancy related pain, postnatal recovery and related concerns
- Also carrying a broader caseload with room for a strength and performance lean: musculoskeletal, post surgical, sport and chronic injury presentations
- Building gym-based and exercise-led treatment plans that connect naturally with the studio's Pilates and strength classes for longer term functional outcomes
- Working closely with the wider team (strength coaches, Pilates instructors, massage therapists, other physios) so nothing falls through the gaps for a client
- Clear, timely clinical documentation and communication with referring GPs and specialists where relevant
- Getting properly involved in a team that shares knowledge rather than everyone doing their own thing
What we're looking for
- Registered Physiotherapist with AHPRA registration (or eligibility to register)
- Genuine interest in women's health physiotherapy and/or strength-based, sport or performance rehab, whether that's existing experience or a strong desire to build into it
- A background in high-performance sport or athletic rehab is a plus but not essential, as is existing women's health experience, we're more interested in genuine interest than a box ticked
- Strong communicator, someone who can make a client feel properly heard in the first five minutes
- Team player mentality, this role only works well if you like collaborating rather than working in isolation
- New graduates and experienced physios both welcome, it's about the right fit more than years of experience
What's on offer
- Competitive salary reflective of experience, with room to grow as caseload and skills build
- Ongoing mentoring and support to build genuine expertise in women's health or strength/performance rehab, alongside other special interest areas
- A caseload that stays genuinely varied, not the same 20 minute slots on repeat
- Supportive, collaborative team culture rather than a "see your list and go home" environment
- Modern, well equipped studio space with strong client demand already in place
- Flexibility to shape the role around your interests as your career develops here
Location
Based in the Seddon area of Melbourne's inner west, close to cafes, public transport and an established local health and fitness scene.
