Sports Physiotherapy
Sports Physiotherapy in Mornington
Sport puts real demands on your body. When something goes wrong, the goal isn’t just to get you out of pain, it’s to get you back performing at the level you were at before, and build the resilience to stay there.
At Peak Motion, our sports physiotherapy approach starts with an accurate diagnosis and an honest conversation about what’s happening and why. From there, every rehabilitation plan is built around your sport, your body and the specific demands you place on it.
Built Around Strength. Not Just Recovery.
Most sports injuries don’t happen by chance. They happen because something in the way the body moves, loads or absorbs force isn’t being supported properly. Treating the pain alone never fixes that which is why every rehabilitation plan at Peak Motion puts strength at the centre.
We look beyond the site of injury to understand what’s driving it. We address the underlying weakness, rebuild the capacity of the body to handle load and progress you through a structured plan that takes you from acute management all the way through to full performance.
Yannick’s background working with Richmond FC (VFL), Sandringham Zebras (VFL) and St. Kilda Southern Saints (WVFL) means you’re being treated by someone who understands the real demands of sport, not just the clinical picture.
Running & Endurance on the Peninsula
The Mornington Peninsula has a strong running and endurance community, trail runners, marathon trainers, triathletes and cyclists who take their performance seriously.
Running injuries are some of the most common and most mismanaged conditions we see, often because the underlying cause, a weakness in load capacity or movement pattern is never properly addressed. Rest alone doesn’t fix a biomechanical problem. Strength does.
At Peak Motion, we assess running injuries differently. We look at how you move under load, where your body is compensating and what strength work is needed to correct it. We also work with endurance athletes across trail running, cycling and triathlon to build the physical foundation that keeps performance consistent and setbacks minimal.
Kids Sports Rehabilitation
Young athletes place unique demands on their bodies and injuries during growth and development need to be managed carefully and progressively.
At Peak Motion, we work with junior athletes across the Peninsula to assess and rehabilitate sports injuries with an approach that accounts for where they are physically, not just the injury in front of us. The goal is always the same, return to sport safely, with the strength and confidence to perform at their best.
