Performance Physiotherapy in Mermaid Waters

Every second counts. Every degree of movement matters. Every training session builds toward your next PB.

Our brand new Mermaid Waters clinic isn't just another physio practice – it's a performance headquarters designed for athletes who understand that excellence demands expertise. Located moments from Pizzey Park's training grounds, we've created the Gold Coast's most advanced sports rehabilitation and performance facility.

From dawn patrol runners logging kilometres before work to triathletes fine-tuning their race prep, from weekend warriors chasing age-group podiums to elite athletes pursuing marginal gains – this is where serious athletes come to stay ahead of injury, optimise biomechanics, and unlock their potential.

Our state-of-the-art facility on Oceanic Drive combines Olympic-standard rehabilitation equipment with sport-specific assessment technology, delivering the calibre of care typically reserved for professional sporting organisations.

Athletic Performance Services

Running Analysis & Injury Prevention

Beyond basic gait analysis – our biomechanical assessment identifies inefficiencies before they become injuries. Whether you're building toward Gold Coast Marathon or maintaining your Parkrun streak, we optimise your mechanics for sustainable performance. Specialised programs for runners covering everything from plantar fasciitis to ITB syndrome, with return-to-running protocols that actually work.

Triathlon Performance Optimisation

Multi-discipline demands multi-dimensional care. Our integrated approach addresses the unique demands of swim-bike-run, from shoulder impingement to bike fit related knee pain. We speak your language – understanding the difference between race pace and threshold, why transition matters, and how to maintain training load while managing niggles.

Sports-Specific Rehabilitation

Your sport isn't generic – your treatment shouldn't be either. Our advanced gym facility allows sport-specific loading patterns, whether you're a cyclist dealing with lumbar stress, a swimmer managing shoulder load, or a runner returning from stress fracture. Real movements, real solutions.

Performance Recovery Programs

Recovery is training. Our facility features compression therapy, advanced soft tissue techniques, and structured recovery protocols that elite athletes rely on. Because the work you do between sessions determines your next performance.

Strength & Conditioning Integration

Our rehabilitation gym isn't just for rehab – it's where injured athletes become stronger athletes. Progressive loading programs that don't just get you back to baseline, but build resilience for the demands ahead.
