Your plan
How we get you moving again
Every step has a purpose, and you'll always know where you're at.
Assess
We find what's actually going on: a hands-on assessment, plus movement and strength testing where it helps.
Treat
Hands-on treatment to settle pain and get you moving, with a clear explanation of what's going on.
Rebuild
A plan built around your work, life and goals, progressed every visit.
Keep it away
We retest along the way and give you a plan to stop it coming back.
The technology
Measured, not guessed
We use the same kind of testing professional teams use, so your progress shows up in numbers.
VALD force plates
Strength testing on the same system used by professional sporting teams. It shows exactly how one side compares to the other.
Kinetisense
3D movement screening that picks up how you're compensating, so treatment targets the cause.
OCHY running analysis
Video gait analysis for runners, showing what's holding your stride back.
who's been there
Ferry Rd Physio is owned by physio Jordan Press, who played 22 years of rugby league, including four knee surgeries and a shoulder stabilisation after repeated dislocations.
He came back to play A-grade, so he knows what a long recovery feels like, and how much difference a clear, tested plan makes. That's the approach behind every plan at the clinic.

Before you book
The things people ask us most.
Do I need a referral?
No. You can book directly. If you've seen a GP or specialist, bring any letters, scans or reports along.
Can I claim on my health fund?
Yes. If your extras cover includes physio, you can claim on the spot with HICAPS and only pay the gap.
Do you take Medicare, WorkCover, CTP, DVA or NDIS?
Yes. We see Medicare care plan (EPC) patients, WorkCover and CTP claims, DVA card holders and NDIS participants. Let us know when you book and bring your referral or claim number.
Can I see a female or male physio?
Yes. Just let us know which you prefer when you book.
How long is the first appointment?
Your first appointment is 60 minutes, so there's time for a thorough assessment and a clear plan. Follow-ups are usually 20 to 30 minutes.
What should I wear and bring?
Wear something comfortable you can move in, such as shorts and a t-shirt. Bring your health fund card and any scans or reports.
Where do I park?
There's parking at the front and rear of the clinic. If it's full, try Wells St (heading south on Ferry Rd) or Shaw St (heading north).
When are you open?
Monday to Friday 7am to 7pm and Saturday 7am to 12pm, so early, after-work and weekend appointments are easy to find.
