Mobile Physio Melbourne

Reliable and hands-on mobile physiotherapy — helping you achieve your movement goals.

What Mobile Physiotherapy Can Do For You

Getting access to the healthcare support you need can be a challenge when you can’t travel to a traditional physiotherapy clinic. Our experienced mobile physiotherapists can come to you, wherever you need. 

Sometimes, the best place for your treatment is where you live your life. Our mobile physiotherapists bring expert care directly to your home, gym, workplace, or any location that fits your needs. We’re here to make your physiotherapy experience more convenient, flexible, and tailored to your lifestyle.

What can Physiotherapy assist with?

At Moving Healthcare, our mobile healthcare team brings the best parts of traditional physiotherapy to you, wherever you need it. We believe that patients recover better in environments they’re happy in. This means we can treat you at home or out in your community spaces.  

Whether you’re after NDIS-Registered physio support, mobile occupational therapy, at-home physio, aged care programs, neurological rehabilitation, or injury rehab, our experienced team offers a hands-on approach.

We’re led by experienced Principal Physiotherapist Gabriella Shiftan, whose extensive healthcare experience and research informs our unique hands-on approach. On top of her clinical expertise, Gabriella was the lead author of an important peer-reviewed study, The effectiveness of proprioceptive training in preventing ankle sprains in sporting populations: A systematic review and meta-analysis, published by J Sci Med Sport in 2014.
