Physiotherapy in Ultimo, close to home. Our home-visit physios, through our partner clinic MoveWell Allied Health, come to you anywhere in Ultimo and across Inner West & the City.
Ultimo 2007 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 Ultimo, you'll get a clear plan from the first session.
Ultimo owes its name to a clerical slip: Dr John Harris's offence was recorded as "ultimo", meaning last month, and he gave the word to his estate, granted in 1803. It stayed farmland until the 1859 subdivision, and the Pyrmont and Ultimo area peaked at around 30,000 people in 1900. Now the ABC's headquarters, UTS, the Powerhouse Museum in its old electric tram power station and the Goods Line walkway to Central share the streets. Our home-visit physios reach every Ultimo street, with MoveWell Allied Health as our partner clinic.
About 7,400 people live in Ultimo, packed into a suburb where 87.4% of occupied dwellings were flats at the 2021 census. Study, screens and city jobs set the pace here, with UTS and the Sydney Institute of TAFE on the doorstep, so neck and back pain from long hours sitting is the usual complaint, along with sore knees and shins from running and sport. A physio who visits your unit saves the trip, and no GP referral is needed for a private visit.
A first visit in Ultimo gives you an unhurried hands-on assessment in your own home, a plain-English explanation of what is behind the pain and a written plan with honest timeframes for getting back to study, work or training. If you are back from a stay at Royal Prince Alfred, Concord or Balmain Hospital, we can pick up the rehab. We also cover neighbouring Chippendale, Darlington, Glebe and Haymarket.
Neck and back sore from lectures, laptops and long days at a desk?
Common in Ultimo: Neck stiffness and tension headaches, Low back pain from long sitting, Rounded shoulders and upper back ache, Wrist and forearm strain from typing, Jaw tension, Eye-level and laptop posture pain.
Study and desk pain usually builds slowly, so we look for the cause, not just the sore spot. Hands-on treatment eases the stiffness, and we can check how your desk or study corner is set up. A short exercise plan then fits around classes, shifts and deadlines, so the pain does not simply return at exam time.

Common in Ultimo: Shin splints, Runner's knee, Achilles and calf pain, Hamstring strains, Ankle sprains, Hip and groin pain.
