Physiotherapy in West End, Brisbane

Hands-on treatment, strength-based rehabilitation and advanced technology under one roof on Montague Road — for injury recovery, persistent pain and getting back to sport.

Looking for a physio near you in West End? Our physiotherapists provide expert hands-on treatment and rehabilitation to help you recover from injury, relieve pain and move better — whether that means sports physiotherapy, persistent pain, post-surgical rehab or a stubborn injury that has not settled.

What sets the clinic apart is what happens after the pain eases. Easing symptoms is the first week, not the plan; what stops an injury coming back is strength, control and load tolerance. That is why rehabilitation at Forge happens on a gym floor as well as on a plinth, and why we use assessment and treatment technology — TECAR, Shockwave and Neubie — that most clinics do not have.

New to physiotherapy?

What happens at your first appointment

Your initial consultation runs 60 minutes. By the end of it you should understand what is going on, why, and what the plan is — not just have been treated.

  1. Your history

    What the problem is, how and when it started, what it stops you doing, your past injuries and treatments, and the demands of your work and sport.

  2. Physical assessment

    Posture and movement, active and passive range of motion, strength and muscle function, balance and coordination, and neurological testing where it is relevant.

  3. Diagnosis, explained

    The likely cause, how your body is currently working, what is contributing to it, and a realistic recovery timeline — in plain language.

  4. Treatment starts the same visit

    Hands-on treatment, exercise prescription, education, and technology where it helps — TECAR, Shockwave or Neubie.

  5. Goals and next steps

    Short and long-term goals, how often you will need to come in, what to do at home, and any referral you may need.

What to wear: comfortable, loose clothing that gives access to the area — shorts for a knee, a singlet for a shoulder. Payment is taken after the session, with HICAPS on site so your private health rebate comes off straight away.
