What We Offer You

• One-on-one weekly mentoring in paid time from four senior physiotherapists - each with over 20 years’ clinical experience

Your Caseload (Tailored to Your Interests)

At Through Life Physiotherapy, we work across a range of areas. You can build your caseload in a focused area or develop experience across multiple disciplines:

• Paediatric Physiotherapy – We have a huge paediatric caseload just waiting for more therapists to join us in the fun and games of physio for children. Therapy for kids happens at home, kindergarten, school, childcare, parks, swimming pools and in our clinic.  At our welcoming clinic we have an onsite playground and literally hundreds of toys.  In 2026 we are developing our new paediatric rehab/play gym.
• Neurological Rehabilitation - We’d love you to meet the incredible individuals we work with who don’t just survive but thrive amidst many challenging Neuro diagnoses.  Physio happens in our rehab gym, in homes, at the pool, in the community and at local gyms.  Join us in 2026 when we will open our new custom designed Rehab gym, three times the size of our current gym.
• Disability Physiotherapy - We’ve provided these services in Gippsland since 2006 and have been a registered NDIS provider since 2017.  You’ll work with children and adults, enabling them to achieve new skills they never thought possible. Our work is always meaningful, varied, and rewarding.
• Our Senior Physiotherapists also have advanced skills in pelvic and breast health physiotherapy, vestibular physiotherapy, invisible illness, and chronic pain. If you would like more diversity in your caseload, we can support your learning in all these areas.
