Jonathan has advanced training to assess, diagnose, and treat injuries affecting your muscles, joints, bones, and nerves. He provides high-level care for conditions like hip, knee, shoulder injuries, and back and neck pain.

Another speciality at our physiotherapy clinic in Perth is manipulative physiotherapy, which concerns the management and treatment of conditions associated with the spine (neuro-musculoskeletal conditions).
These conditions include headaches, numbness, pins and needles, sciatica, vertigo, and neck and back problems.
Treatment involves a range of hands-on therapies to aid your recovery, including high-velocity thrusts to manipulate joints that are stiff and resistant to a full range of movement.
Our posture correction services focus on identifying and correcting imbalances that strain the spine.
We begin with a comprehensive assessment of your posture and movement patterns to pinpoint problem areas. Based on this, we create a personalised plan that includes exercises to strengthen weak muscles, stretch tight areas, and improve alignment.
We also provide ergonomic advice, helping you adjust your workspace and daily habits to support proper posture. Education is key, so we guide you on maintaining good posture during daily activities.
