Sports Physiotherapy in Mornington

Strength-led sports injury rehab, from your first assessment to full training and competition.

Treatment built around your sport, not just your injury

Whether it’s a footy hamstring, a netball ankle or a shoulder that won’t let you serve, no two sports injuries are the same. We start with an accurate diagnosis and an honest conversation about what’s happening and why, then build your rehab around your sport, your position and the load you’ll need to handle when you’re back.

Every session is one-on-one with Yannick, a Doctor of Physiotherapy with a background in strength and conditioning. No GP referral needed.

One-on-one sessions, open 7 days

WorkCover and NDIS welcome. Health fund rebates on the spot.

Our sports recovery plan

Every plan moves through the same stages, progressed when you’re ready rather than by a date on the calendar.

    Diagnose and settle

    An accurate diagnosis and a look at what's driving the injury, while we get pain and swelling under control.

  2. 2

    Rebuild strength

    Targeted strength work and progressive rehab to restore full movement and the capacity to handle load.

  3. 3

    Train for your sport

    Sport-specific conditioning, agility and power work matched to your sport and position.

  4. 4

    Return to sport

    Testing against clear criteria before you go back to full training and competition.

Growing bodies need injuries managed carefully. We assess and rehab young athletes with an approach that accounts for where they are in their growth and development, not just the injury in front of us.

Sports Physio

Built around strength, not just recovery

Sports injuries rarely happen by chance. They usually happen because something in how your body moves, loads or absorbs force isn’t being supported. Treating the pain alone doesn’t fix that, so strength sits at the centre of every plan. We look beyond the injury to what’s driving it, rebuild your capacity to handle load and progress you from acute care through to full performance.

Yannick’s work with the strength and conditioning teams at Richmond (VFL), Sandringham Zebras (VFL), Uni Blues (VAFA) and St Kilda Southern Saints (VFLW) means he understands what your sport demands, not just the clinical picture. Once you’re back, our Strength & Conditioning program helps you keep building.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a referral?

No. You can book directly with us at any time. If your GP refers you under a Chronic Disease Management plan, you may be eligible for Medicare rebates.

Is physiotherapy covered by Medicare or private health insurance?

Most private health extras cover physiotherapy. Medicare rebates are available under a GP CDM plan. Call us and we’ll help you work out what you can claim.

How long will it take to get back to my sport?

It depends on the injury, your sport and the level you play at. We’ll give you a realistic timeline at your first appointment and update it as you progress. You move through each phase when you meet the criteria, not when the calendar says so.

I'm not an elite athlete. Can you still help me?

Absolutely. Whether you’re a competitive runner, a local club player or someone who trains regularly and wants to stay that way, our approach applies to anyone who values their active lifestyle and wants to protect it.

What should I bring to my first appointment?

Comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the injured area. If your injury is sport-specific, bring your gear, it helps us understand the demands you’re working with.
