This place was amazing I was so happy about how I was treated and looked after . I liked how everything was explained to me and it made sense . I was grateful when I told my symptoms to the lovely lady she knew what I was talking about and ways we could improve things and that I wasn’t alone. Also I felt that the environment was pleasant calm and relaxing…

I’m pregnant and wanted to see a women’s specific physiotherapist to optimise my body for birth. I see EJ and I feel very comfortable with her. She conducts thorough assessments and listens to my concerns. Her support and encouragement is invaluable which always leaves me feeling empowered…

Erica Marquez

I had an incredibly positive experience with my physiotherapy following surgery. From the very first session, the team was supportive, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to helping me recover. They created a personalised plan that really worked for me, and I noticed steady progress every week.
Thank you Movement Laboratory Leichhardt team.

Anastasia is a miracle worker! I’m a keen runner and I started seeing her a few months ago after a couple of broken backs and a (new) torn hammy. She diagnosed my hammy problem quickly and efficiently, provided immediate relief through some deep massage to allow me to survive a few more important runs before my wedding (honeymoon = rest).

Mark Westman

I have been getting remedial massage sessions from Anna over the past year, and my back has never been better! Anna is a kind and caring therapist who takes the time to find out where the issues are, and is very skilled at relieving muscular pain. My shoulders move freely for the first time in years. The reception staff are also welcoming and accommodating.

Samantha Callaghan

Best physio I’ve ever been to. Anastasia is AMAZING – literally fixed me in one session and I got progessively better with succeeding ones. I love how she is meticulous, knowledgeable, friendly and super invested in getting you back to normal. Thank you so much Anastasia! 🙂

Frequently Asked Questions

You can find our most frequently asked questions about what to expect, what to bring and how much an appointment will cost below. If you cannot find what you’re after feel free to contact us via the form on this page or Contact Us. We are here to help!

Yes, we accept all private health funds. You will need to bring your health fund care with you, and we can then process HICAPS on the spot. We are unable to predict your rebate, it depends on your package and premium with your individual fund.

An Enhanced Primary Care form (EPC) from your GP gives approval for a Medicare rebate on your appointments (approximately 5 per calendar year). We will need a copy of your current EPC. To claim your Medicare rebate, you will need to pay for your appointment in full and provide a debit card for us to add the rebate. Please read more detailed info here.

No referral is needed however if you have reports or scans relevant to your appointment, we ask you to bring them along to ensure we are fully informed when we treat you.

No two physios assess or treat in exactly the same way. Even with notes from your previous clinic, we still need to assess you for ourselves to ensure that nothing is missed and we are all on the same page.

1:1 private sessions allow us to focus solely on you, ensure that you are performing the exercises correctly and safely, specific to your condition or injury, and allow us to establish your baseline in order to measure your progress.

Yes you can! Most mothers who attend the clinic for their 6 weeks postpartum check bring their newborns. We have different ways to soothe them if they are awake during the session! Sometimes it might involve the help of our admin team to rock your baby. But please do not worry, we are all parents ourselves.
