We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

We’ve recently added two new pieces of equipment to our Exercise + Rehabilitation Area – The ForceFrame and the NordBoard.

Our Physiotherapists can use these to test the upper and lower body strength of a patient – including hip, knee, shoulder, ankle, hamstring and neck muscle groups.

Both combine advanced sensors and provide real-time results and analytics for testing muscle strength and imbalance.

They can be used for:

With the 2021 AFL season now complete, we chatted with one our Sport + Exercise Medicine Physiotherapists, Jay Anderson, about his involvement in the AFL and with the Essendon FC (Bombers).

How and when did you become involved with the AFL?

** UPDATE: This session (plus an additional one on 20 November) is now FULLY BOOKED. Please email us if you would like to go on the wait list for either of these dates **

How Strong Is Your Core?

FREE Women's Health Physiotherapy Information Session.

Have you ever wondered how strong your core is?

Are you experiencing any leaking of urine with exercise?

Are you pregnant or have you had a baby?

Would you just like some extra advice on how to feel stronger?

Dr Gaylene McKay has been the Opals (Australian Women’s Basketball Team) Physiotherapist for 7 years and travelled with them many times for camps and tournaments. But this year she had the privilege of supporting them in Tokyo for the 2020 Olympics!

Now that she’s back in Australia we asked her to spend some of her hotel quarantine time telling us a bit about the experience . . . .

How did it feel to go to the Olympics and support one of the teams representing Australia?

While Dr Gaylene McKay, our Managing Director and the Lead Physiotherapist for the Opals, is now back in Australia and in quarantine, she did manage to send through a few last pics from her time at the Olympics.

She even rubbed shoulders with a few famous (non-basketball) faces while watching the Boomers vs USA before leaving Tokyo . . .

More great photos from the Olympics thanks to Alphington Sports Medicine's Managing Director & Opals Lead Physiotherapist, Dr Gaylene McKay.

The team had a huge win last night in Game 4 against Puerto Rico – let’s hope they can keep that momentum going when they face USA in the quarter finals tomorrow!

APA titled Sports Physiotherapist and Alphington Sports Medicine's Managing Director, Dr Gaylene McKay, is currently in Tokyo for the Olympics.

As Lead Physiotherapist for the Opals (Australia’s Women’s Basketball Team) she’ll be doing her best to ensure all players are at peak fitness for each game.

Thankfully she’s also doing a great job of taking photos to give those of us back in Australia an insight into what it’s like over there, for our athletes and support crew.

Our Group Exercise Classes Are Returning!

In accordance with the Victorian Government's roadmap for further easing of restrictions, we will recommence our Group Exercise Classes from Monday 9 November*.

As our classes have a maximum of 4 participants, physical distancing requirements can be easily adhered to. In addition, there are strict protocols in place that all participants must follow and will include the need for all equipment to be sanitized after use.
