About Pain Options

Pain Options is a specialist physiotherapy clinic in South Perth that focuses on complex, persistent and hard-to-resolve musculoskeletal problems. Founded and led by clinicians with PhDs in musculoskeletal disorders and ongoing academic appointments, the practice brings a genuinely research-informed approach to assessing and treating pain that other treatments have failed to settle.

Patients describe a level of care that stands out. Practitioners are praised for listening without judgement, building trust, and designing targeted programs that deliver rapid improvement even for long-standing injuries. Alongside hands-on physiotherapy, the clinic offers second opinions on complex cases, concussion screening and management, arthritis support, structured pain-management programs, and education and consulting services.

With experienced physiotherapists across a broad team and the option of telehealth as well as in-clinic appointments, Pain Options suits people in the South Perth area dealing with everyday injuries, sports and work-related problems, or chronic pain that needs a more specialised, evidence-based approach. It is a clinic for those who want answers and a clear path forward.
