What We Treat

Pain

Physiotherapist assessing a patient's neck for headache treatment in Sydney CBD

Headache Treatment

Many headaches - particularly cervicogenic and tension-type headaches - originate from the joints and muscles of the neck and upper back, often linked to posture, stress, or old whiplash injuries. Our physiotherapists identify the true source of your headache and use gentle mobilisation, soft tissue work, and postural correction to reduce frequency and severity, without forceful manipulation.

Physiotherapy treatment for neck and back pain in Sydney CBD

Neck & Back Pain

At least 80% of people experience neck or back pain at some point in their life. It can result from a specific injury, sustained poor posture, or simply from being too still for too long. Our physiotherapists focus on identifying the underlying cause - not just treating symptoms - so you get lasting relief rather than a temporary fix.

Physiotherapy treatment for sciatica and lower back pain

Sciatica

Sciatica causes pain, tingling, or numbness that radiates from the lower back down through the leg, usually due to irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve. Treatment focuses on relieving pressure on the nerve, restoring normal movement in the lower back and hip, and building the strength needed to prevent recurrence.

Physiotherapy for workplace-related pain in Sydney CBD professionals

Pain at Work

Pain related to work is common among Sydney CBD professionals - often linked to prolonged sitting or standing, repetitive tasks, or poor desk setup. We assess how your work habits and environment may be contributing to your symptoms, and provide practical strategies alongside hands-on treatment.

What We Treat

Injury

Whiplash treatment following a car accident, Sydney CBD physiotherapy

Whiplash Treatment

Whiplash - commonly caused by car accidents or falls - should always be treated gently at first, since muscles, ligaments and sometimes nerves need time to heal from the sudden stretching sprain. Our physiotherapists guide you through gentle early treatment progressing to more active rehabilitation as your recovery allows.

Sports injury assessment and treatment at Macquarie Street Physiotherapy

Sports Injuries

Whether your injury happened suddenly or developed gradually, the right sports physiotherapy approach depends on understanding exactly what's going on. We use hands-on assessment and the latest evidence-based techniques to diagnose your injury, guide recovery, and reduce your risk of re-injury on return to sport.

Joint and muscle injury treatment Sydney CBD

Joint & Muscle Injury

Joint and muscle injuries can affect anyone living or working in the Sydney CBD, from a twisted ankle to a strained shoulder. We assess the injury thoroughly and build a treatment plan combining hands-on therapy with progressive exercise to restore full function.

Post-surgical rehabilitation physiotherapy Sydney CBD

Rehabilitation After Surgery

Recovering well after surgery requires the right guidance at the right time. Your physiotherapist liaises directly with your surgeon and follows their post-surgical protocol, using techniques such as gentle mobilisation, soft tissue work and tailored exercise to guide you safely back to full activity.

Disc injury and slipped disc treatment Sydney CBD

Disc Injury

A slipped or bulging disc in the spine can cause localised back pain as well as nerve-related symptoms radiating into the arm or leg. Treatment aims to relieve pressure on affected structures, restore safe movement, and build the strength required to protect the spine going forward.

What We Treat

Dizziness & Vertigo

Vertigo and BPPV treatment using the Epley manoeuvre, Sydney CBD

Dizziness & Vertigo (BPPV)

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is one of the most common causes of dizziness, and often responds very well to physiotherapy. Our Vestibular physiotherapists are trained in providing you with a detailed assessment which may include using diagnostic video goggles and performing specialist techniques such as the Epley manoeuvre, these may resolve symptoms in as little as one to two treatments for many clients.

What We Treat

Women's Health

Pelvic floor physiotherapy for bladder leakage, Sydney CBD

Bladder Leakage

Bladder leakage (urinary incontinence) is common but not something you have to live with. Our women's health physiotherapist assess pelvic floor function and provide tailored exercise programs to reduce or resolve stress and urge incontinence, at any life stage.

Gluteal tendinopathy and outer hip pain treatment, Sydney CBD

Gluteal Tendinopathy (Outer Hip Pain)

Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome - pain felt on the outer hip, often worse when lying on that side, using stairs, or sitting in low chairs - is common in women, particularly post-menopause. It's frequently mistaken for a hip joint problem, but the cause is usually the tendon, not the joint. Targeted strengthening of the gluteus medius is highly effective.

Strength training for osteoporosis prevention, Sydney CBD

Osteoporosis Prevention & Management

Strength training is one of the most effective tools for managing osteoporosis and osteopenia - weight-bearing exercise stimulates bone formation and increases bone density, while stronger muscles improve balance and reduce fall risk. We design safe, progressive programs suited to your bone health needs.

Exercise physiotherapy support through menopause, Sydney CBD

Menopause & Exercise

Menopause brings hormonal changes that can affect bone density, muscle mass, joint comfort and overall wellbeing. The right exercise approach during this stage can protect long-term bone and muscle health while easing symptoms - our physiotherapists tailor a program specifically for this life stage.

What We Treat

Posture

Postural advice and correction, Sydney CBD physiotherapy

Improve Posture

Many neck, back, shoulder and even hip problems relate back to posture - and headaches often have a postural element too. We provide practical, sustainable guidance rather than a rigid "sit up straight" instruction, since over-correcting posture can cause its own problems like muscle fatigue and disc strain.

Core stability advice for spinal protection, Sydney CBD

Core Stability Advice

A stable, strong core - your abdominal muscles, diaphragm and pelvic floor working together - provides the foundation that protects your spine during everyday activities like lifting, sitting for long periods, and sport. We assess your current core function and provide guidance tailored to your needs.

What We Treat

More Services

Dry needling treatment at Macquarie Street Physiotherapy

Dry Needling

Dry needling is a technique using fine needles to target tight, painful areas of muscle tissue (trigger points), helping to release tension and reduce pain. Our physiotherapists use it alongside manual therapy and exercise as part of a broader, individualised treatment plan.

Workplace ergonomic assessment, Sydney CBD physiotherapy

Workplace Ergonomic Assessments

A poorly set up workstation is a common, preventable cause of neck, back and shoulder pain for city professionals. We conduct on-site within Sydney CBD or in-clinic ergonomic assessments, identifying practical adjustments to your desk, chair and habits that reduce strain and prevent recurring pain.

Treadmill running and walking gait analysis, Sydney CBD

Running & Walking Analysis

Running and walking, like any repetitive activity, can cause strain if alignment or technique isn't quite right - most commonly affecting the lower limbs and back. We take a history, examine the problem area, then film your gait on our treadmill to identify and correct the underlying cause.

NDIS and DVA physiotherapy services, Sydney CBD

NDIS & DVA Services

We provide physiotherapy for NDIS self-managed and plan-managed clients, as well as DVA (Department of Veterans' Affairs) card holders. Our team works within your plan to deliver the treatment and support you're entitled to, in a convenient Sydney CBD location.
