Sarah has an extensive background in sport and exercise, and has combined this passion with her ‘hands on’ physio skills since graduating from Sydney University. Having played competitive netball and waterpolo, she has a great appreciation of the role of exercise based therapy in both the treatment and prevention of injury. Sarah has spent a number of years teaching group fitness classes in gyms around Sydney, from which she has developed a keen interest in Pilates-style core stability training. She incorporates this in the treatment of back and neck pain, and sport-specific rehabilitation. Sarah has also had extensive training in various dry needling methods such as trigger point needling, which can often be useful in the treatment of many musculoskeletal injuries.
Prior to establishing Sydney Physio Group, Sarah had a number of years experience in sports coverage, in particular as a physiotherapist for the NSW Paralympic Football Team.
She takes a pragmatic approach to treatment, understanding the demands of our modern lifestyle on our bodies – whether it be home, work or sport related, and she is keen to work with you to keep you as active as possible throughout the injury process.
Alex, a University of Sydney Master’s graduate with over 15 years of experience, initially worked as a sports scientist before transitioning to elite-level physiotherapy. He co-founded Sydney Physio Group alongside Sarah, establishing
practices that focus on simplicity, practicality, and delivering excellent results.
Recognizing the prevalence of persistent back and neck pain among his patients, Alex collaborated with leading physiotherapists to develop tailored techniques and treatments suited to patients’ daily lives.
Amid an industry largely populated by IT professionals grappling with headaches and associated neck pain, Alex emerged as a prominent figure in addressing such debilitating injuries. He has crafted a comprehensive method for headache treatment, encompassing manual therapy, postural adjustments, and customized exercise regimens tailored to individual circumstances and requirements.
Alex incorporates Pilates into the treatment of back and neck pain. He takes a functional approach to treatment, getting you back to normal as quickly as possible.
