Restore Movement. Reduce Pain. Regain Confidence.

At True Active Physiotherapy, we help you move better, recover faster, and live pain-free. Our general physiotherapy services focus on identifying the true cause of your pain — not just treating the symptoms.

​

Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing ongoing pain, or simply looking to improve your movement and strength, our experienced team will guide you with evidence-based treatment tailored to your needs.

​

Our physiotherapists have worked within elite sporting environments, including the AFL (Collingwood FC), AFLW (Melbourne FC), VNL (Casey Demons), VPL (Eastern Lions) and Netball Victoria. This experience allows us to deliver the same high-performance care used by professional athletes — adapted to suit your lifestyle and goals.

 

Common Conditions We Treat

Our team manages a wide range of injuries and musculoskeletal conditions, including:

• Back and neck pain (disc injuries, muscle spasm, stiffness).

• Shoulder pain (rotator cuff, bursitis, impingement).

• Knee injuries (patellofemoral pain, meniscus, osteoarthritis).

• Hip and groin pain (labral injuries, tendinopathy, impingement).

• Ankle sprains and Achilles tendinopathy.

• Tennis elbow and wrist pain.

• Arthritis and age-related joint stiffness.

• Workplace, postural and ergonomic injuries (however we do not current accept WorkCover referrals).

• Post-surgical rehabilitation (ACL, shoulder, hip, knee procedures).

We provide a detailed assessment to identify what’s driving your pain and design a clear, step-by-step plan to get you moving again.

 

Treatment Techniques We Use

Our physiotherapists combine manual therapy with targeted rehabilitation to ensure long-lasting results.

Common treatment techniques include:

• Joint mobilisation & manipulation – restoring mobility and joint alignment.

• Soft tissue therapy & massage – relieving muscle tension and pain.

• Dry needling – reducing trigger points and improving recovery.

• Exercise rehabilitation – rebuilding strength, stability, and movement control.

• Posture correction & movement retraining – improving body mechanics.

• Taping & bracing – supporting injured structures during recovery.

• Education & load management – helping you stay injury-free long term.

​

Our approach is active, measurable, and results-driven, ensuring you return to work, sport, and life with confidence.
