Physiotherapy Specialist in Fitzroy for Spinal Pain and Sports Injuries

Athletic Spine extends specialist physio services in Fitzroy for athletes and active individuals dealing with spinal pain. Our Brunswick-based clinic specialises exclusively in back pain, neck pain, and complex spinal conditions, providing evidence-based rehabilitation that delivers measurable results and empowers you to manage your spinal health independently.

Dedicated Spinal Specialisation

We're not a general physiotherapy clinic juggling diverse conditions. We focus solely on spinal rehabilitation, which means we've successfully treated your specific spinal condition countless times. This concentrated expertise translates to more accurate diagnoses, more effective treatment strategies, and faster recovery outcomes.

Our physiotherapists in Fitzroy treats comprehensive spinal pathology including disc bulges and herniations with nerve involvement, facet joint irritation and sacroiliac joint dysfunction, spinal stenosis and spondylolisthesis, inflammatory spinal disorders, post-operative spinal cases, and chronic thoracic, lumbar, and cervical pain.

Every rehabilitation program is individualised based on your specific diagnosis, sport or activity demands, and performance goals.

Results That Matter

At Athletic Spine, we don't track rebooking rates or session attendance, we track outcomes. The questions we're focused on answering are whether you've returned to full training without restriction, whether you can compete or perform at your previous level, whether you've gained independence in managing your condition, and whether you're more resilient than before your injury.

Our systematic approach progresses through pain management and tissue healing, movement pattern restoration, progressive strength and stability work, and sport-specific loading and performance training.

We're committed to delivering your desired outcome and graduating you successfully, not maintaining ongoing treatment relationships indefinitely.

Independence Through Education

Effective physiotherapy shouldn't create long-term reliance on your practitioner. Our priority is building your capacity to self-manage through comprehensive education on understanding your specific spinal condition, recognising warning signs before they worsen, implementing appropriate activity modifications, safely progressing your rehabilitation exercises, and determining when professional input is truly necessary.

This approach reflects current evidence-based guidelines for spinal pain management and challenges the conventional model of perpetual appointments. When you're capable of managing independently, we've achieved our objective.

Your Recovery Advocate

Many people experiencing spinal pain feel dismissed or receive generic "rest and see" advice without thorough assessment. You deserve someone who actively advocates for appropriate care and takes your concerns seriously.

We advocate throughout your recovery by coordinating with your GP for imaging or specialist referrals when needed, liaising with surgeons to ensure conservative management is fully explored, challenging recommendations inconsistent with current evidence, and ensuring complete understanding of your diagnosis and treatment options.

When you're struggling with pain and navigating the healthcare system feels overwhelming, we fight in your corner.

Exceeding Previous Performance Levels

Our objective isn't simply returning you to your pre-injury baseline, it's making you better than ever. This involves enhanced movement quality and biomechanical efficiency, superior spinal resilience and capacity, greater strength levels than before injury, and comprehensive injury prevention knowledge.

We work with athletes across AFL, rugby, CrossFit, running, tennis, martial arts, and numerous other sports. We also treat active professionals, law enforcement, emergency services personnel, and anyone committed to maintaining an active lifestyle.
