APA Titled Sports & Exercise Physiotherapist · Director
Complex & recurrent injuries · Second opinions · Return-to-performance for athletes & professionals
Mitchell is the Director of True Active Physiotherapy, with over a decade of experience across elite sporting environments — including the AFL — and private practice.
He works with athletes needing a second opinion or a structured return-to-performance, as well as time-poor professionals and executives who value clear plans, efficient care and long-term results. His approach is individualised and outcome-driven, combining detailed assessment, rehabilitation and performance principles to guide lasting recovery.
Experience includes
Physiotherapist · Sports & Concussion Rehabilitation
Vestibular & concussion rehab · Upper limb · ACL & post-operative rehab · Objective force-plate testing
Ashrey brings an international perspective to True Active, having spent the past two years across leading London private practices (Six Physio & Ten Health) managing a broad musculoskeletal caseload spanning the upper limb, spine and lower limb.
He is one of the few physiotherapists in the area trained in vestibular and concussion rehabilitation — a genuinely specialised and increasingly important area for contact and collision-sport athletes navigating return-to-play, as well as patients managing dizziness, balance issues and post-concussion symptoms in everyday life.
Alongside this, Ashrey has extensive experience in upper-limb rehabilitation — shoulders, elbows and wrists — from overuse and sporting injuries through to post-operative recovery. He applies the same structured approach to lower-limb injuries, with a particular focus on ACL and post-operative rehab, tendinopathies and soft-tissue injuries, using VALD and AxIT force-plate testing for objective, data-driven return-to-sport decisions.
Experience includes
Physiotherapist · Sports & Orthopaedic Rehabilitation
Female athlete · Post-surgical rehab · Knee & ankle injuries · Youth & developing athletes
Athena supports clients through structured, progressive rehabilitation — helping them recover from injury, rebuild strength and return confidently to sport and everyday activity. She has a special interest in the female athlete, post-surgical rehabilitation, and knee and ankle injuries.
With qualifications in Exercise & Sport Science, Physiotherapy, and Strength & Conditioning, she combines practical rehabilitation with performance-based principles, and has extensive experience with youth and developing athletes — particularly injuries that require patience, consistency and gradual progression.
She is known for clear communication and a calm, structured approach that makes rehab feel achievable and empowering, and also supports active adults returning to running, recovering after surgery, or maintaining an active lifestyle.
Experience includes
Physiotherapist · Sports & Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation
Knee, hip & ankle injuries · Return to sport & training · Gym-goers & tradies
Billy helps active people get out of pain, move more freely, and rebuild the strength and confidence to get back to what they love — whether that's sport, the gym, or a physically demanding job on the tools.
He takes the time to understand the real demands of your sport, training or trade, then maps out a clear, progressive plan that settles your pain, restores mobility and rebuilds capacity — so the result holds up under load, not just on the treatment table. His focus is on practical outcomes you can feel: moving better, lifting heavier, lasting longer, and trusting your body again.
Billy has extensive experience with soccer and field-sport athletes and is currently Head Physiotherapist for Langwarrin Soccer Club (VPL1), where he manages training loads, guides return-to-play decisions and supports athletes through long, demanding seasons. He brings that same load-and-recovery thinking to gym-goers chasing personal bests and tradies who need to stay durable at work.
Experience includes
Physiotherapist · Orthopaedic & Sports Rehabilitation
Orthopaedic & post-operative rehab · Fractures & joint injuries · Runners, dancers, gymnasts & CrossFit
Ashley works with people navigating orthopaedic injury or post-operative rehabilitation, supporting them from early recovery through to returning confidently to work, exercise and everyday life.
She has extensive experience managing upper- and lower-limb orthopaedic conditions, including fractures, joint injuries and post-surgical rehabilitation, and has worked in acute orthopaedic hospital settings such as Cabrini and Epworth following joint replacements and spinal surgery. She is known for a calm, reassuring approach and clear guidance through the early, often uncertain stages of recovery.
Alongside her orthopaedic work, Ashley enjoys supporting runners, dancers, cheerleaders, gymnasts and CrossFit athletes — drawing on her own background in competitive gymnastics, CrossFit and long-distance running to connect with athletes managing overload injuries and training setbacks.
