Our physio staff are highly qualified university graduates with expert knowledge & skills in the pre

Five Dock Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Centre was established in the early 1990s, initially located next door and then moved into Five Dock Medical Centre in 2006. The practice has since grown and we now have two full time physiotherapists in our clinic with another physio set to start at the end of the year. Our staff pride themselves in being members of the Australian Physiotherapy Association

(APA), Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy Australia and Sports Physiotherapy Australia and all physios are graduates of the highly regarded Sydney University. As a team our physios have a particular interest in not only treating our patients current symptoms, but also in injury prevention and addressing the biomechanical compensations that occur with injury. We firmly believe that if these abnormal compensations are not corrected, surrounding musculoskeletal structures will be adversely affected and a recurrent or chronic condition is likely to develop. Five Dock Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Centre has been affiliated with various sporting clubs and teams over the years providing on-field coverage and treatment for both male and female competitors, but we certainly do not only deal with sports people. We thus treat a range of Injury Areas both with the sporting population and the general public.

Experiencing nagging hip or groin pain when you run? 🏃‍♀️💨 Don’t ignore it. It could be a stress fracture.

Here are 3 key warning signs to watch out for:
1️⃣ Pain that gets worse as you run (it doesn’t warm up and fade away like normal muscle soreness).
2️⃣ Pain that lingers at rest (aching during the night or first thing in the morning).
3️⃣ Sharp pain with impact or hopping (feeling a sharp, focal pinch on single-leg landings is a major red flag 🚩).

Don’t try to push through it. Get a professional assessment for clarity and peace of mind.

🦵 Not every hip "bursitis" is just bursitis.
Pain on the outside of your hip isn't always caused by inflammation.

If you experience sharp pain when hopping on one leg, it's worth having it assessed. While many cases are caused by tendon or bursa irritation, similar symptoms can sometimes indicate a bone stress injury or another condition that requires different management.

At Total Body Physio, a thorough assessment helps us determine what's really causing your pain and whether further investigation, such as imaging, may be appropriate.

A comprehensive assessment may include:
🟢 Understanding how your pain started
🟢 Assessing your strength and movement
🟢 Functional tests, such as a single-leg hop
🟢 Identifying whether further investigations are needed
🟢 Developing the right rehabilitation plan for your injury

The right diagnosis is the first step towards the right recovery.

Not all ACL reconstructions are created equal. ⚡

When treating young, active athletes, reducing the risk of a secondary ACL injury is a top priority. Research highlights that combining Lateral Extra-articular Tenodesis (LET) with standard ACL reconstruction can cut re-rupture rates by up to 50% (Inderhaug et al., 2022).

However, surgical technique isn't one-size-fits-all. Factors like joint laxity, sport demand, and individual anatomy all dictate the right path forward.

💡 Rehab is just as personalized as the surgery itself. Whether you’re post-op or pre-hab, early objective tracking (like measuring extension restored on the plinth!) is key to a successful return to sport.

Day 1 post-op ACL: Where the real work begins! 🦵✨
Starting rehabilitation early after an ACL reconstruction is crucial for managing swelling, restoring full knee extension, and waking up the quadriceps.
Early goals are simple but essential:
✅ Protect the healing graft & manage pain/swelling
✅ Restore terminal knee extension
✅ Gait re-education with crutches
✅ Early muscle activation (quad sets & straight leg raises when appropriate)

Every long rehab journey starts with a single step (literally!).

🛑 Lose the crutches when your walking EARNS it - Not when your ego WANTS it. 👇

The #1 mistake we see in ACL recovery? Ditching your crutches too early.

Walking with a limp isn’t just uncomfortable—it causes real setbacks:
❌ Quads can switch off
❌ Poor knee loading
❌ Persistent swelling that sticks around way longer

Respect the process and protect your progress.

💬 Are you currently in ACL rehab, or do you have an ACL concern?
Our team at Total Body Physio is here to help guide you through every stage of your recovery.

🏃 Returning to sport is more than just feeling "ready."
Returning to sport shouldn't be a leap of faith—it should be backed by objective data.

Research shows the best return-to-play decisions combine:
🟢 Strength testing
🟢 Functional performance testing
🟢 Clinical assessment
🟢 Athlete confidence

(Grindem et al., 2020; Kyritsis et al., 2022).

At Total Body Physio, we don't rely on the calendar alone.

Our goal is to help you return to sport when your body is ready—not simply because enough time has passed.

Whether you're recovering from an ACL injury, ankle sprain, muscle strain or another sports injury, objective testing helps identify strengths, highlight areas that still need work, and guide a safe progression back to training and competition.

Returning to sport with confidence starts with knowing you're ready.
