Expert Physiotherapy Close to Macleod
Macleod residents enjoy a quiet, well-established suburb — and deserve physiotherapy care that matches that quality. Better Physiotherapy Bundoora, just 8 minutes north along Grimshaw Street, provides the kind of thorough, evidence-based treatment that's hard to find locally.
Many of our Macleod patients have tried other clinics and found the difference with us immediately: focused 30-minute initial appointments that get straight to the point, physiotherapists who genuinely explain what's wrong and why, and treatment plans that account for your life — not just your injury.
Balance, Falls & Older Adult Physiotherapy
Macleod has a strong population of established residents and older adults who are often looking for physiotherapy support with balance problems, arthritis, post-surgical recovery, and falls prevention. Our physiotherapist Michael Torres holds a Graduate Certificate in Neurological Physiotherapy and specialises in balance training and falls prevention programs for older adults.
Research shows that structured physiotherapy-led exercise programs can reduce falls risk by up to 35% in older adults. If you or a family member in Macleod is concerned about balance or mobility, a physiotherapy assessment is the right first step.
Back Pain & Neck Pain Treatment
Back pain and neck pain are among the most common presentations from Macleod and Heidelberg residents. Whether it's a new acute strain, a flare of a long-standing condition, or pain that has persisted despite previous treatment, our physiotherapists take a fresh, thorough approach.
Our principal physiotherapist Dr. Sarah Chen holds a Masters of Sports Physiotherapy and has extensive experience with spinal conditions including disc injuries, facet joint pain, sciatica, and post-surgical spinal rehabilitation. She'll help you understand what's driving your pain and what to do about it — without unnecessary medication or imaging.
Sports & Active Lifestyle Injuries
If you play for a local sports club, run the trails around Macleod, or stay active at one of the area's gyms, our sports physios are equipped to treat everything from ankle sprains to rotator cuff tears. James Okonkwo, our sports and musculoskeletal specialist, has personal experience as a semi-professional athlete and understands the urgency of getting back to training safely.
