NARROW GATE PHYSIO - THE MOST TRUSTED SPORTS INJURY CENTRE AND PAIN CLINICS

Our Sports Physiotherapy Services

We offer a comprehensive range of sports-specific treatments, including:

Targeted Injury Diagnosis

We identify the true source of your pain or restriction through detailed biomechanical assessment, movement screening, and sports-specific testing. This ensures we address the underlying cause—not just the symptoms.

Hands-On Treatment

Our hands-on techniques reduce pain, improve mobility, and support better movement patterns. This may include joint mobilisation, soft tissue release, neural mobilisation, trigger point therapy, or dry needling when appropriate.

Individualised Exercise Rehabilitation

We design structured rehabilitation programs to help you rebuild strength, flexibility, control, and endurance. These programs are sport-specific and progress gradually so you return safely to training and competition.

Strength and Conditioning Guidance

We help athletes understand how to train effectively, avoid overloading, and improve technique. This includes guidance on proper lifting mechanics, running form, agility, plyometrics, and load management.

Performance Optimisation

Sports Physiotherapy isn’t only for injury. We also work proactively to enhance efficiency, reduce injury risk, and support long-term physical health through mobility programs, muscle balance screening, and preventive training.

Return-to-Sport Planning

We provide a clear pathway back to training and competition using step-by-step protocols, performance benchmarks, and ongoing progress reviews.

Men’s health (prostatitis, pelvic pain syndrome, pudendal nerve entrapment, incontinence, erectile dysfunction, incontinence)

Narrow Gate Physiotherapy has special interest and expertise in musculoskeletal health. In particular, we work with postural dysfunction, sports injury, aged care and men’s health.

Postural dysfunction is common in sedentary populations like desk workers and people engaged in repetitive work that requires prolonged postures. We look holistically at the neck, back and shoulder joint and muscular imbalances to quickly solve this issue for good.

Sports injuries vary from gym-related, soccer, basketball, track and other high impact activities. We work closely with your goals and coach to take an ‘active recovery’ where you are still maintaining strength, flexibility and cardiorespiratory condition whilst your primary injury is healing. We always aim for fast, strong and lasting returns to sport.

Aged care is our passionate project to give back to the elders who have created the Australia we know today. We know balance, strength, flexibility & endurance are needed for easy transfers from bed, sitting and standing and to enjoy the daily activities that make retirement worthwhile. This includes getting to the floor to play with the grandkids and enjoying a sandy beach walk.

Men’s health is Narrow Gate Physiotherapy’s signature area of special interest. Men’s health physiotherapy is an emerging specialty that solves problems with prostate cancer, pelvic pain, erectile dysfunction, stress urinary incontinence, urge urinary incontinence and bowel incontinence. We use the latest research to support our holistic approach to these growing issues within men’s health.
