Physiotherapist: MSK, Sports Rehab and Exercise-Led Care | Inner West Melbourne
About the Role
A small, independent private practice in Melbourne’s inner west is looking for a Physiotherapist who is passionate about evidence-based, exercise-led care. The clinic’s approach is to find what is actually driving a patient’s pain, treat that, and build them up so the problem doesn’t return. If that is how you like to practise, this role offers a supportive team and a varied private caseload.
About the practice
- A small, independent private practice in Melbourne’s inner west
- Care centred on finding the underlying cause of an injury rather than only settling the symptoms
- Hands-on manual therapy paired with individually tailored exercise programs
- Treatment plans shaped around each person’s goals, with the number of visits set by how they respond
- A wide MSK caseload covering necks and headaches, shoulders, backs and sciatica, hips, knees and elbows
- Sports injuries and rehab, including ligament and ACL recovery
- A pelvic health component alongside the MSK work
- Funding that includes private health, Medicare EPC plans, DVA, TAC and WorkSafe
- Patients ranging from desk workers and weekend sports people through to older adults managing arthritis
- Weekday trading only, with evening sessions through most of the week and no weekends
- An allied health space, so the clinic is part of a wider professional community
What you’ll be doing
- Assessing and treating a varied private caseload, with real room to use your clinical reasoning
- Combining manual therapy with progressive strength and rehab work
- Guiding patients through injury recovery, return to sport and long-term prevention
- Managing funded patients across EPC, DVA, TAC and WorkSafe, with the referral and paperwork that comes with them
- Educating patients so they understand their condition and feel in control of their recovery
- Contributing to a collaborative, evidence-based clinic culture
What we’re looking for
- Current AHPRA registration as a Physiotherapist
- A solid musculoskeletal foundation with a genuine interest in exercise-based rehab
- Comfortable using manual therapy as part of a broader plan, not as the whole plan
- Evidence-based clinical reasoning and a willingness to explain it in plain language
- A warm, approachable manner with people from all walks of life
- Interest in sports physio or pelvic health is a plus, but not essential
What’s in it for you
- A private practice caseload with variety, from everyday aches to complex rehab
- A clinical approach that favours getting people better over keeping them booked in
- A weekday schedule with no weekend work
- Evening sessions that give some flexibility around your day
- A friendly, small-team feel instead of a large corporate setting
- A supportive environment with access to a wider allied health community
Location
- Maribyrnong: A leafy riverside suburb with cafes, bike paths along the Maribyrnong River and easy tram and train access into the city
