Whether it is a Chiropractor, Exercise Physiologist, Osteopath or Physiotherapist we are all evidence-based, hands-on and patient-focused. Your treatment is led by us but revolves around you. We know you want to understand what’s wrong and what you need to do to get better. We offer the team support to help you reach your goals.
So what’s the difference between a Chiro, Osteo or Physio? At MT, we don’t see our Chiropractors, Exercises Physiologists, Osteopaths or Physiotherapists as different, we call ourselves Movement Therapists. A Movement Therapist is a university qualified therapist from the fields of Chiropractic, Exercise Physiology, Osteopathy or Physiotherapy. They use a wide range of techniques and strategies to diagnose and treat movement dysfunction. They do this with the lens of our Movement Therapy principles and our core values generally.
Each of our Movement Therapists each have their own areas of interest and can have more knowledge in some areas than others. When booking your appointment we will guide you to the best therapist for you. We look forward to seeing you.

Osteopathy, also known as osteopathic medicine, was founded by Dr Andrew Taylor Still, an American physician in the 19th century. Osteopathic philosophy gives a holistic approach to health and stresses the importance of the musculoskeletal system in a person’s health and well-being. The aim of treatment is to support the body’s self-healing capacity.

Our vision is to move our community towards health optimisation so we have built a program that does just that. Our membership is for people who want to come back from an injury, improve their health, physical function or start doing the things they used to be able to do.
We use 3 simple stages to improve your physical capacity and improve how your body moves. With the support of our team of experts and other patients in the shared appointment stage, we will address how your lifestyle is affecting your health, function and quality of life.
Membership price will stay the same throughout your journey with us, it's the same as the cost of an appointment per week.
You will start your journey 1 on 1 with a Movement Therapist. The goal of this stage is to get you to move well. At this point, you might have an injury, be in pain or unable to complete tasks you want or need to do. Your therapist will use a range of techniques including: dry needling, massage, manipulation, cupping or foundational rehabilitative exercises. We will also start talking to you about how your lifestyle can affect your health.
As you’re moving better you will start to move more. You might stay with your current Movement Therapist or progress to a new Movement Therapist that’s better suited to this stage. Either way the focus is on getting you to use your body more. You will notice that you’re become more active generally and starting to move more freely as you understand how your body moves. You will even notice that you’re sleeping, eating and feeling better.
You now know what you need to do and how to do it. At this point, you need the support and community around you to stay on the path to your goals. You also need a coach to change and modify things to continue to progress. In our shared appointments you will work in a group of 4-5 like minded people twice a week with guidance from a Movement Therapist. This will ensure you stack on track and continue to progress.
You have hit your goals, maintained them and might be ready for the next challenge. You're journey with us has ended, but your own journey to optimal health will always be going. From here we will introduce you to our partners out in the community. They will help you maintain your state of well being or give you a push if you are looking for a new challenge.
If you're interested in knowing more, please give us a call or send us a message.
Movement Therapy is focused on helping move communities towards health optimisation. We help our patients perform at life and we are passionate about it, some might say obsessed. A big part of this mission is to help people in the Greater Western Sydney, Macarthur, Wollondilly, Illawarra and Wingecarribee regions with disabilities thrive.
The NDIS is there to support a better life for Australians with significant and permanent disability as well as their family and carers. Our industry leading and professional team of physiotherapists and exercise physiologists help people supported by the NDIS achieve this via reaching their own physical and capacity building goals. We do this either in our state of the art gym, treatment rooms or in your own home via home visits or Telehealth.
Sometimes knowing what you need to do for your physical function goals and capacity growth can be confusing. This is why we are offering a free Telehealth consultation to explain how our team at Movement Therapy can help.
