We specialise in running related injuries, neck/shoulder conditions and chronic low back pain. Regular clients include anyone from the avid weekend runner to the elite Olympic marathon athlete. Denis is trained in the use of medical acupuncture, spinal manipulation and the application of Kinesio tape. In addition to this, a functional movement based approach is used to assess and treat many clients before their return to sporting activity. Denis has also completed a Pilates teaching qualification from the Australian Physiotherapy Pilates Institute.

Physio4Richmond believes in treating people efficiently and effectively to allow the quickest return to an active lifestyle. Through hands on treatment and adjustments to training programmes our goal is to allow clients to continue with their chosen sports while under our care.
