Physiotherapy in Como, close to home. Our home-visit physios, through our partner clinic MoveWell Allied Health, come to you anywhere in Como and across Sutherland Shire.
Como 2226 is part of Sutherland Shire, where Pegasus Peak covers every suburb with home visits, from Sutherland, Miranda and Caringbah to Cronulla, Menai and Engadine. Instead of travelling to a clinic, your physio comes to your home, aged care or retirement residence, or workplace, so treatment fits around your day and happens where you actually move.
Every visit brings hands-on treatment and progressive exercise to your door, guided by current research, to treat the cause and not just the symptom. Whether it's a sore back from work, a sports injury or getting back on track after surgery in Como, you'll get a clear plan from the first session.
Como was once called Woronora. James Murphy, manager of the Holt-Sutherland Company, suggested the new name for its likeness to Lake Como in Italy, and streets such as Genoa Street, Verona Range and Pavia Road carry the theme. The original railway bridge over the Georges River was completed in 1885 and is now a footbridge and cycleway beside the 1972 rail bridge. Murphy's pleasure grounds, on a small rocky peninsula near the bridge, are still known as the Como Pleasure Grounds. In Como, our home-visit physios, working through our partner clinic MoveWell Allied Health, will see you at home.
Como is a suburb of families and home workers. At the 2021 Census about nine in ten homes were separate houses, six in ten families were couples with children, and around half of employed residents worked from home on Census day. Add the train from Como station, the Como-Jannali Crocodiles at Scylla Bay Oval, rowers at the St George Rowing Club and long hours at the laptop, and you get sore necks, stiff backs and strained legs. A physio who visits cuts out the travel, and a private visit needs no GP referral.
Treatment starts with an hour-long first visit: a full hands-on assessment, a straight explanation of what is wrong and a written plan with honest timeframes. Each session after that builds the strength and movement you want back, at the pace your body allows. Plenty of people book after an operation at The Sutherland Hospital. We also visit Jannali and Bonnet Bay next door, Oyster Bay, Kareela and Illawong, and Oatley across the Georges River.
Neck and back aching from the laptop, or from the commute out of Como station?
Common in Como: Neck pain and tension headaches, Lower-back pain from sitting, Upper-back and shoulder tightness, Wrist and forearm strain, Hip tightness, Sciatica and referred leg pain.
More than half of Como's workforce are professionals or managers, and about half worked from home on Census day. Treatment eases the tight neck, shoulders and back hands-on. Then we look at how you sit and work and set a short mobility and strength routine that suits your day, whether you are at home or on the train.
Good to know: No GP referral is needed for a private visit. Initial assessments are $160 for 60 minutes.
Sore from a game at Scylla Bay Oval or a row on the Georges River?
Common in Como: Ankle sprains, Hamstring and groin strains, Knee pain and ligament injuries, Rotator cuff and shoulder pain, Lower-back pain from rowing, Rib and mid-back stiffness.
Field sport and rowing load the body very differently, so we start by testing the movements your sport demands. Hands-on treatment settles the sore area, then a graded strength and conditioning plan takes you back to training and competition in clear steps. Junior players get a load that suits their age, and parents hear how it is going.
Good to know: Check with your health fund whether home visits are covered under your extras.
Juggling lifting, school runs and work and your body is paying?
Common in Como: Lower-back strain from lifting, Shoulder pain from overhead jobs, Knee pain from kneeling and stairs, Tennis and golfer's elbow, Wrist and thumb pain, Heel and foot pain.
Six in ten Como families are couples with children, which means a lot of lifting, carrying and bending on top of work. We work out what is overloaded and treat it hands-on, then build up the weak links so the pain stays away. Sessions are arranged at a time that fits around your day.
Good to know: Travel is included within MoveWell's core service area; extra travel fees may apply outside it.
Recovering from a knee, hip or shoulder operation?
Common in Como: Knee and hip replacement rehab, Rehab after ACL or meniscus surgery, Shoulder rehab after surgery, Fracture recovery, Back pain after a strain, Rebuilding strength and fitness.
An operation repairs the problem, and rehab gets you moving again. After a hands-on assessment we set realistic milestones and move your exercises forward in stages, explaining what each one is for. You always know what to do between visits, and roughly when work and sport can resume.
Good to know: No GP referral is needed for a private visit. Initial assessment $160 (60 min), follow-up $140 (40 min).
