We combine hands-on manual therapy techniques with targeted exercises and the latest evidence-based treatments to get you back to full function as quickly and safely as possible.
RUNNING INJURIES & ANALYSIS
As Geelong’s specialists in running injuries and analysis, we help runners of all abilities overcome common issues like shin pain, knee pain, plantar pain, ITB syndrome, and Achilles tendinopathy. Our comprehensive running analysis uses video technology to assess your gait pattern and identify biomechanical factors contributing to injury. We then create targeted treatment and strengthening programs to address these issues. Whether you’re training for the Geelong Half Marathon, preparing for an ultra-marathon, or just want to enjoy pain-free running, we’ll get you back on track.
THE ACTIVE FEMALE*
Our women’s health physiotherapy services provide specialised care for female* athletes and active women. We address pelvic floor dysfunction, pre and post-natal care, and help women return to running and training after pregnancy.
Our physios understand how the menstrual cycle affects training and recovery, and can adapt your exercise program to work with your body’s natural rhythms. Whether you’re dealing with pelvic pain, preparing for childbirth, or working to regain fitness post-partum, we provide expert, compassionate care in a comfortable environment.
PRE & POST-OPERATIVE PHYSIOTHERAPY
Our pre and post-operative physiotherapy programs are designed to optimize your surgical outcomes. Pre-operative physio (prehab) helps strengthen your body before surgery, leading to faster recovery times. Post-operatively, we work closely with your surgeon’s protocols to guide you through each phase of rehabilitation; from initial mobility work through to return to full activity. Whether you’ve had an ACL reconstruction, shoulder surgery, hip replacement, or any other orthopedic procedure, our structured approach ensures you regain strength, function, and confidence.

WHY CHOOSE THE INJURY CLINIC FOR PHYSIO IN GEELONG?
When it comes to choosing a physiotherapist in Geelong, you have plenty of options. Here’s what makes The Injury Clinic different:
Integrated Care: Physio + Strength + Nutrition
We’re the only clinic in Geelong offering truly integrated care. Your physiotherapist, strength coach, and sports dietitian collaborate on your treatment plan, sharing insights and coordinating your care. This means if your physio identifies a strength deficit contributing to your injury, you can transition seamlessly to our strength coaching team. If nutrition is impacting your recovery or performance, our dietitians are right here. No referrals to external providers, no communication gaps; just seamless, comprehensive care under one roof.
Data-Driven Treatment with VALD Testing
We don’t guess; we measure. Our VALD testing technology provides objective data on your strength, power, and movement quality. Force plates measure your jump height and landing mechanics. Dynamometry quantifies your muscle strength. This data helps us identify deficits, track your progress over time, and make confident decisions about when you’re ready to return to sport. It’s the same technology used by professional sports teams, now available to all our Geelong clients.
Event Preparation Specialists
Training for IRONMAN 70.3 Geelong, the Geelong Running Festival Marathon, or another event? We specialise in preparing athletes for competition. Our event preparation programs combine physiotherapy, strength training, running analysis, and nutrition planning to help you arrive at the start line healthy, strong, and ready to perform. We understand the unique demands of endurance events and create periodised programs that build fitness while managing injury risk.
Experienced, Qualified Team
Our physiotherapy team in Geelong brings years of experience treating athletes and active individuals. We hold relevant qualifications, engage in ongoing professional development, and stay current with the latest research and treatment techniques.

What to Expect at Your First Physio Appointment
Never been to a physiotherapist before? Here’s what happens at your initial consultation at The Injury Clinic in Geelong:
Initial Assessment (40 minutes)
Your first appointment is longer than follow-up sessions to allow for a comprehensive assessment. Your physio will start with a detailed discussion about your injury or condition; when it started, what makes it better or worse, your activity goals, and your medical history. This conversation helps us understand not just your injury, but you as a person.
Next comes the physical assessment. This typically includes movement tests, strength testing, joint range of motion measurements, and specific tests to help diagnose your condition. For sports injuries, we may assess your sport-specific movements. For running injuries, it may include gait analysis. All assessments are conducted professionally and with your comfort in mind.
Diagnosis & Treatment Plan
After the assessment, your physio will explain their findings in clear, jargon-free language. They’ll diagnose your condition, explain what’s causing your symptoms, and outline a treatment plan. This plan might include manual therapy, exercise prescription, strength training referrals, or other interventions. Most importantly, we’ll give you realistic timeframes for recovery and clear milestones to track progress.
Integrated Care Recommendations
If appropriate, your physio may recommend integrating strength coaching or nutrition services into your treatment plan. For example, if you’re training for an event, a strength coach can help you build resilience while the physio manages any niggles. If nutrition is impacting recovery, our dietitians can help. These recommendations are always optional, but many clients find the integrated approach accelerates their progress.
What should you bring?
Wear comfortable clothing you can move in. Bring any relevant medical imaging (X-rays, MRI scans) and a list of current medications. If you have private health insurance, bring your card. Most importantly, bring your questions; we’re here to help you understand your injury and feel confident in your recovery plan.

Frequently Asked Questions About Physio in Geelong
Do I need a referral to see a physiotherapist in Geelong?
No, you don’t need a referral to see a physiotherapist at The Injury Clinic. You can book directly online or call us on 03 5229 3911. However, if you have private health insurance or are claiming through a Medicare Chronic Disease Management Plan (CDM), a GP referral may help you access rebates. If you’re unsure, contact us and we can explain your options.
How much does physiotherapy cost in Geelong?
Physiotherapy costs vary depending on the type and length of consultation. Initial assessments typically range from $120-$150, with follow-up sessions from $80-$120. We provide itemised receipts for private health insurance claims.
Do you bulk bill for physiotherapy in Geelong?
We don’t bulk bill for standard physiotherapy services. However, if you have a Medicare CDM plan with a GP referral, you can claim a Medicare rebate for up to 5 physio sessions per year. We accept all private health insurance and provide HICAPS for on-the-spot claims, which means you only pay the gap (if any) at the time of your appointment.
What should I wear to my physio appointment?
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy movement and access to the area being treated. For lower body injuries, shorts are ideal. For shoulder or upper body issues, a singlet or t-shirt works best. If we’re conducting a running analysis, bring your running shoes. We have private treatment rooms where you can change if needed.
How many physio sessions will I need?
This depends entirely on your condition, goals, and how your body responds to treatment. Acute injuries might resolve in 2-4 sessions, while persistent conditions or post-surgical rehabilitation may require ongoing care over several months. After your initial assessment, your physio will provide an honest estimate of treatment duration. We’ll track your progress at each session and adjust the plan as needed. Our goal is always to get you better as efficiently as possible; we don’t believe in unnecessary appointments.
What makes The Injury Clinic different from other physios in Geelong?
We’re the only clinic in Geelong that integrates physiotherapy, strength training, and sports nutrition under one roof with seamless collaboration between practitioners. Our use of objective measures like VALD testing sets us apart; we track your progress with data, not just subjective assessment. We specialise in event preparation for athletes from weekend warriors to elite competitors.
