Physiotherapist: MSK, Injury Rehab and Strength and Conditioning | Inner Melbourne

About the Role

A progressive physiotherapy clinic in inner Melbourne is looking for a Physiotherapist who likes to combine hands‑on treatment with exercise-based rehab. The clinic sits inside a gym, so patients can be taken from the treatment room straight onto the gym floor to be shown, supervised and progressed through their exercises.

About the practice

• A physio and osteopathy clinic working side by side, so you have colleagues from another discipline to learn from
• A clinic set within a large gym, with full access to its equipment for rehab and training
• Care that follows the patient from treatment to exercise, with therapists able to demonstrate, supervise and adjust exercises on the spot
• A caseload covering back and neck pain, headaches, shoulder pain, tendon problems and sciatica
• Hands‑on manual therapy, dry needling and evidence‑based injury rehab as core tools
• Individually tailored strength and conditioning programs for function and performance
• Medicare‑funded care for patients with chronic disease management plans
• A client‑focused, goal‑oriented approach where people are involved in planning their recovery
• A mission built around getting people out of pain and moving well for the long term
• Education content such as articles and case studies that show the clinic's evidence‑based approach
• Weekday trading hours, so no weekend work

What you'll be doing

• Assessing and treating a varied musculoskeletal caseload
• Combining manual therapy and dry needling with exercise prescription
• Taking patients onto the gym floor to coach, supervise and progress their rehab
• Building strength and conditioning programs tailored to each person’s goals
• Managing patients on Medicare chronic disease management plans
• Educating patients so they understand their condition and how to manage it
• Working closely with the osteopaths and wider team

What we're looking for

• Current AHPRA registration as a Physiotherapist
• A solid musculoskeletal foundation with an interest in exercise‑based rehab
• Comfort working in a gym setting and coaching patients through movement
• Hands‑on manual therapy skills, with dry needling as a plus
• A clear, motivating communication style
• A team‑first attitude and a genuine interest in strength and performance
• New grads and experienced clinicians are welcome to start the conversation

What's in it for you

• A rehab environment where exercise is part of the treatment, not an afterthought
• On‑site gym access to use for your own patients' programs
• Variety across back, neck, shoulder, tendon and performance cases
• A collaborative clinic with both physio and osteopathy colleagues
• Weekday hours with no weekend work
• A friendly, client‑focused team culture

Locations

• Collingwood: A creative inner‑city suburb with great cafes, easy tram access and the Yarra trails close by
