MGS Physiotherapy’s Manly clinic is located at 1 Whistler Street, just minutes from Manly Beach, and is a first choice for athletes and active community members across Manly and the surrounding suburbs of Freshwater, Fairlight, Balgowlah and Seaforth.
“Sports Physiotherapy is the targeted application of clinical science and biomechanical analysis, dedicated to recovering from athletic injury and optimising physical resilience.”
Our Manly sports physio team treats a comprehensive range of acute, overuse and post-operative conditions across all body regions.
Post-operative rehabilitation
Rugby League: We manage high-impact trauma, including AC joint separations, concussion protocols, and hamstring tears, with a focus on “collision resilience”.
Pickleball: We treat Achilles tendinitis and Tennis Elbow through agility drills and forearm loading programmes designed for rapid lateral shifts.
Swimming: Improve stroke efficiency and resolve “Swimmer’s Shoulder” by prioritising scapular rhythm and thoracic mobility.
Beach Volleyball: We utilise sand-based proprioception training to manage Jumper’s Knee and ankle sprains on unstable surfaces.
Soccer: We use objective strength testing to ensure a safe return to play following ACL ruptures, groin strains, or inversion ankle sprains.
Basketball & Netball: Our programmes emphasise landing mechanics and plyometric control to treat patellofemoral pain and prevent foot stress fractures
The objective of physiotherapy is to restore proper functioning of the human body. It is an evidence-based and scientifically proven approach to treating specific illnesses and injuries as well as building strength, flexibility and resilience. The combination of acute treatment, as well as preventative measures, performance enhancement and long-term management, make this type of therapy beneficial for everyone.
With clinics across Manly, North Curl Curl, and Mona Vale, we are deeply embedded in the local sports scene. Our practitioners work alongside local clubs and coaches to provide a seamless “Return to Play” pathway.
Initial Biomechanical Screen: Identifying movement compensations before they become injuries.
Personalised Load Management: Ensuring your training volume matches your physical capacity.
Post-Op Excellence: Gold-standard rehabilitation following orthopaedic surgery.
Treatment begins with a physical evaluation, diagnosis by highly skilled physiotherapists, and the development of a tailored recovery plan at our conveniently located physiotherapy clinic in Sydney.
Some conditions, such as neck pain, can be resolved with direct treatment such as mobilisation, manipulation or soft tissue release whilst others, like sports injuries, are better treated with exercise. The best results often come from a combination of both approaches provided by our expert physiotherapists.
You can expect to see positive results in as little as 1-2 sessions. However, this depends on the complexity of the issue and the goals of the individual. An experienced physiotherapist will be able to clarify this for you by putting together a full treatment plan and timeline with milestones to monitor progression.
The best results are felt when patients feel educated, confident and well-equipped to implement a self-managed home-based exercise program. It is vital that you make a commitment to continue with any dietary, lifestyle or exercise recommendations to ensure results are sustained long-term.

Appointments are scheduled a minimum of 30 minutes apart. We find that in the majority of cases that this is the most appropriate amount of time. In more complex conditions or for multiple injuries longer appointments can be arranged.
Yes please! Any investigations or scans relating to the condition will help us understand your presentation better. Even if you just have the reports from scans they will be very helpful. Likewise any notes from other Therapists or doctors would be great. If you don’t have anything then don’t worry just bring yourself.
If you have problems related to walking or sport then please bring your runners or boots in for use to look at.

Our aim is that everyone receives the attention they require and while achieving this we attempt to utilise all of our available time. If you are running late please call ahead and our Receptionist will check with your physio to see if it is possible to still see you. There may not be enough time to attend to your needs effectively. If we rush you through your treatment it is at best not helpful to you and at worst unsafe. We can simply reschedule your appointment for a later time.
