Physiotherapy in Petersham, close to home. Our home-visit physios, through our partner clinic MoveWell Allied Health, come to you anywhere in Petersham and across Inner West & the City.
Petersham 2049 is part of Inner West & the City, where Pegasus Peak covers every suburb with home visits, from Marrickville, Newtown and Leichhardt to Burwood, Strathfield, Concord and the inner city. 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 Petersham, you'll get a clear plan from the first session.
Petersham was named by Major Francis Grose after his native village in Surrey, and in 1793 convicts were sent to the area to clear bush for a timber yard. A municipality followed in 1871. The old station building on Terminus Street, built in 1886 in the Victorian Free Classical style, has been called the largest and grandest of the surviving 19th century railway stations in the Sydney area. Petersham is also considered the heart of Sydney's Portuguese community. Our home-visit physios, via our partner clinic MoveWell Allied Health, treat you at home here.
Terraces make up most of Petersham's houses, and several Victorian and Edwardian mansions survive, mostly around Petersham Park. The station is served by the Leppington & Inner West and Liverpool & Inner West lines, while the row of shops and cafés along New Canterbury Road and down Audley Street keeps a good share of locals working on their feet. Between long shifts, desk jobs and weekend training, the problems we see are sore lower backs, aching heels, stiff necks and knees that grumble after a run. No GP referral is required for a private home visit.
We start with a proper conversation about how the pain began and what you need to get back to, then a hands-on assessment and treatment. You finish the first session with a written plan, a realistic idea of how long recovery should take and exercises that build from one visit to the next. Our home-visit team also covers neighbouring Lewisham, Stanmore, Marrickville and Leichhardt, and we are often called after a stay at Royal Prince Alfred, Concord or Balmain hospital.
Are double shifts on your feet catching up with you?
Common in Petersham: Heel and arch pain, Low back pain from standing, Shoulder pain from carrying, Wrist strain, Knee pain, Calf tightness.
Hospitality work loads the same tissues hour after hour. We assess what is taking the strain, treat it hands-on and build strength and capacity for the work you actually do. Visits can be booked around a roster, and the exercises are quick enough to get through before a shift starts or on a break.
Good to know: Check with your health fund whether home visits are covered under your extras.
Is the train-and-desk routine stiffening your neck by Thursday?
Common in Petersham: Neck pain, Headaches from neck tension, Lower back ache, Upper back and shoulder tightness, Sciatica, Elbow and forearm pain.
We look past the sore spot to why it keeps coming back, whether that is long sitting, a heavy bag or too little movement between meetings. Hands-on treatment brings relief, then a few targeted exercises do the longer-term work. Expect a plan that fits a working week rather than competing with it.
Good to know: No GP referral is needed for a private visit. Initial assessments are $160 for 60 minutes.
Is a sore knee or shoulder holding back your training?
Common in Petersham: Runner's knee, Achilles pain, Shin pain, Shoulder pain from lifting, Hip and glute pain, Rolled ankles.
We check how you run or lift, find what is being overloaded and treat it hands-on. Training does not always have to stop, so we adjust your load and set a graded program to build back up with honest timeframes. Whether you want a faster 5 km or a heavier squat, the plan is written around that goal.
Good to know: Check with your health fund whether home visits are covered under your extras.
Out of hospital, or nursing a sprain, and unsure how hard to push?
Common in Petersham: Knee rehab after surgery, Hip and knee replacement recovery, Shoulder surgery rehab, Ankle fractures, Swelling and stiffness, Regaining strength.
Knowing how much to do is the hard part of recovery, so we set clear stages and tell you what to expect at each one. Hands-on treatment, graded strengthening and a written program carry you from early movement back to work and sport. Home visits spare you the travel while you are still finding your feet.
Good to know: Initial assessment $160 (60 min), follow-up $140 (40 min). No GP referral is needed for a private visit.
