Physiotherapist in Mount Waverley.

I’m Zack — a physiotherapist practising at Lifestyle Physio in Mount Waverley. I treat tradies, weekend athletes, and people who’ve been carrying chronic pain for years.

What makes my practice different: I treat hands-on first. Manual therapy, dry needling, soft tissue work. Exercise is homework, not the appointment. And I’m still on the tools myself — running plumbing and construction work alongside the physio practice — so I know what physical jobs actually do to a body.

If you’ve been to physio before and walked out with nothing more than an exercise sheet, this will be a different experience.

Where to find me

What I treat

• Sports Physiotherapy
• Chronic Pain
• Tradie & Occupational Pain
• Return to Sport Assessment
• Dry Needling
• Hand Therapy
• Neurological Rehabilitation

What a first visit looks like

• 60 minutes, one-on-one
• A real conversation about what’s going on — your job, your training, your history
• Hands-on assessment, then hands-on treatment in the same session
• Clear answers about what’s wrong, how long it’ll take, and what to do at home
• HICAPS on-site for private health rebates

You don’t need a GP referral. Most private health funds rebate physiotherapy on the spot.

Why a Mount Waverley local clinic matters

Big chain physio clinics rotate practitioners. You see someone different each visit, and the treatment style varies week to week. As a sole practitioner, I see you every session. Same person, same hands, same understanding of where your treatment plan is up to.

That continuity matters more than people realise — especially for chronic conditions, where small details from session to session add up to real progress.
