What we help with
Most people come to us with one of these. Every appointment starts with a proper assessment, so if yours is not on the list, call and ask.
All conditions
Hands-on, one-on-one, with a plan you take home
Up to an hour with your physio
Assessment consultations run up to an hour, one-on-one: thorough assessment, biomechanical analysis, manual therapy and exercise prescription. No time wasted on machines while your physio disappears.
Evidence, not guesswork
ViMove movement sensors and VALD force plates give real measures of strength, asymmetry and balance, and we refer for scans when they will change the plan.
A program you can keep going
Your rehab is written for the activity you want to get back to, and you can run it in the Phyxit gym free of charge between appointments.
HICAPS and EFTPOS on the spot. Private patients do not need a referral.
Services
Sports, musculoskeletal, post-operative and neurological physiotherapy for the Illawarra, from first assessment to return to sport.
Physiotherapy
Assessment, hands-on treatment and a personalised injury management plan.
Sports rehabilitation
Return-to-sport programs tailored to the activity you want back, at any level.
Post-operative rehab
Recovery after surgery, planned with your specialist, from day one to return to work and sport.
Strength testing with VALD ForceDecks
Force plates and dynamometry to benchmark, monitor and train you towards your goals.
Sports and dance screening
Pre-season and in-season screening, including pointe assessments and tertiary dance screens.
Dry needling
Quick, effective release of trigger points and muscle spasm, often before strengthening work.
Vertigo (BPPV)
Diagnosis and treatment of BPPV, with a home program to keep you upright.
NDIS physiotherapy

Highly recommend Phyxit Physio! From the moment we called for an appointment we felt we were in good hands with care for our son.
Welcomed for the first time visiting the clinic by Mel who was very helpful and friendly. Exceptional service, attention to detail and professionalism by our physio Claudia made our visit a pleasant one. Thank you again!
