About Day One Physio

Day One Physio is a Richmond-based physiotherapy and performance studio where rehabilitation and strength training go hand in hand. Led by a senior physiotherapist with a strength and conditioning focus, the practice has built a five-star reputation for thoughtful, individualised care that maps out a clear road to recovery rather than offering quick fixes.

The studio's work spans far more than treatment. Clients are coached through strength and conditioning programs, clinical Pilates, running and triathlon training, and women's health and pelvic floor care, with practitioners taking time to teach proper form for running and lifting. Reviewers repeatedly highlight how knowledgeable and genuinely caring the team is, and how they progress people from the basics through to confident, capable movement.

For athletes, runners and anyone wanting to train safely around an injury, Day One offers a considered blend of hands-on physiotherapy and active, gym-based rehabilitation in Melbourne's inner east. The emphasis on education, mindset and long-term resilience makes it a strong fit for people who want to keep moving and improve, not just recover. It is a practice built around getting clients back to doing what they love.
