Our Story
The Oval Physio has cared for over 45,000 people since we first opened our doors in 1991. We originally established our practice at North Sydney Oval to support the North Sydney Rugby League Football Club.
Today, we treat patients of all ages, with all types of musculoskeletal problems.
Our ethos is to provide our patients with the best physiotherapy service possible. We want to help them get out of pain in the shortest possible time with the least number of visits.
We give each patient our undivided attention by treating one person at a time and by providing generous consultation times.
When required, we use hands-on pain relief. This may include a variety of manual techniques such as massage and joint mobilisation.
- Educating our patients to understand their diagnosis
- Teaching them strategies to help resolve or manage their condition
- Designing rehabilitation programs to fix the problem
We aim to remove long-term dependence on your physiotherapist.
We specialise in treating shoulders
The shoulder is a particularly complex joint which requires an expert understanding of its anatomy and biomechanics.
Our practice is renowned throughout Sydney and NSW for our specialist knowledge and experience in treating shoulders. We work closely with many of Sydney’s leading shoulder orthopaedic specialists to assist their patients with pre- and post-operative recoveries. Many patients avoid surgery by attending the clinic for our shoulder rehabilitation program.
The practice is centrally located to a large number of schools on the lower North Shore. We have cared for students and staff from many of the local schools including: St Aloysius’ College, SHORE, Wenona, Riverview, Ravenswood, SCEGGS Redlands, Marist College, Monte St Angelo, North Sydney Boys and Girls School.
