Physiotherapist: MSK, Hands-On Manual Therapy & East Meets West Treatment

We're recruiting for a Northern Beaches private practice where the treatment table comes first. No parking patients with a machine for 20 minutes, no cookie-cutter exercise sheets. Just skilled hands, sharp assessment and a team that cares about getting people properly better.

About the practice

• A musculoskeletal clinic that blends Western physiotherapy with elements of traditional Chinese medicine
• Hands-on treatment is the heart of how the team works, including massage, dry needling and acupuncture
• Cupping and taping sit alongside manual therapy and exercise rehab
• A treat-the-whole-body mindset, with plenty of patient education so people understand why they hurt, not just where
• A “minimal treatment, maximum recovery” attitude, which patients tend to appreciate
• A caseload that covers shoulders, necks and headaches, backs, knees, hips, feet and ankles
• Pre and post-op rehab, plus preventative programs aimed at helping people avoid surgery where possible
• A mix of weekend warriors and competitive athletes, with a genuine love of sport across the team
• Access to a radiofrequency-based therapy device that very few clinics in Australia have
• Weekday trading hours, so no weekend rosters

What you’ll be doing

• Assessing and treating a varied musculoskeletal caseload with a strong manual therapy focus
• Using dry needling and, where it suits you, exploring acupuncture and cupping as part of your toolkit
• Guiding patients through sports injury rehab, return to play and injury prevention
• Running pre and post-operative rehab programs
• Explaining the “why” behind each condition so patients leave informed and confident
• Working alongside a close team that shares ideas and treats the whole person

What we’re looking for

• Current AHPRA registration as a Physiotherapist
• Confident, hands-on manual therapy skills
• A genuine interest in musculoskeletal and sports physiotherapy
• Dry needling experience is a plus, and curiosity about acupuncture or Eastern techniques is a bonus
• Warm, down-to-earth communication that puts patients at ease
• A preference for helping people get better quickly rather than keeping them coming back for the sake of it

What’s in it for you

• A treatment style that leaves room for your own hands and clinical judgement
• Exposure to techniques you won’t find in most private practices
• Variety, from everyday aches to athletes to surgical rehab
• A friendly, welcoming clinic culture
• Weekday hours with no weekend work
• A technology adjunct to use as part of your treatment, not a replacement for your skills

Locations

• Brookvale: A busy Northern Beaches hub with great coffee, easy bus links and the beach a short drive away
