You’re not broken, and you’re certainly not alone. Whether you’re navigating pregnancy, recovering postnatally, managing pelvic health concerns, supporting connective tissue conditions, or returning to sport, your body is adapting in ways that deserve thoughtful care. I work with women, men, children, and trans and non-binary people across Cairns to understand what’s happening beneath the surface and create a clear, practical path forward.
With a considered blend of evidence-based physiotherapy and individualised treatment, sessions provide space to be heard, assessed thoroughly, and supported with care that fits your stage of life. No rushed appointments, no one-size-fits-all plans, just personalised physiotherapy designed to restore confidence, improve function, and help you move comfortably into your next phase. This also includes support for LGBTQIA+ patients, with care that may assist with chest binding concerns, the physical impacts of hormone treatment, and rehabilitation following gender-confirming top or bottom surgery.
A comprehensive first appointment to assess your concerns and begin a personalised treatment plan.
New patients, pelvic health concerns, postnatal recovery, and GP referrals.
Extended sessions designed to better understand complex presentations and provide personalised, considered care.
Suspected or diagnosed hypermobility (HSD or EDS), connective tissue disorders, POTS, MCAS, CF/MES, and complex or ongoing conditions.
Targeted physiotherapy focused on pelvic floor function, pregnancy, and postnatal care.
Pelvic pain, incontinence, prolapse support, and proactive pelvic health care.
Physiotherapy delivered in your preferred environment, whether at home, the gym, or your sporting space.

New patients, unclear symptoms, or anyone wanting direction on the right treatment approach.
“I attended Next Phase Physiotherapy for pelvic health support after having my baby and felt completely at ease from my first appointment. The assessment was detailed, the treatment plan clear, and I’ve already noticed a real improvement. Highly recommend for women seeking thoughtful physiotherapy care in Cairns.”

We support a wide range of musculoskeletal, pelvic health, and movement-related concerns. This includes low back pain and sciatica, neck pain and stiffness, and headaches related to neck tension, as well as shoulder pain such as rotator cuff injuries and impingement.
We also treat hip pain and bursitis, knee pain including patellofemoral and ligament injuries, and foot and ankle conditions like sprains and plantar fasciitis. Sports injuries, muscle strains, tendon injuries, and tendinopathy are all commonly managed, alongside post-surgical rehabilitation, arthritis, and general joint pain.
Our care also extends to postural concerns and movement dysfunction, pelvic floor dysfunction, pregnancy-related musculoskeletal pain, and postpartum recovery including abdominal separation (diastasis recti). We also provide support for lactation concerns such as mastitis, as well as core weakness, pelvic instability, balance issues, falls risk, and chronic pain conditions.
If you’re unsure whether we can help with your specific concern, feel free to reach out.
No referral is required to book an appointment. However, we welcome GP referrals and are happy to collaborate with your healthcare team where needed.
A GP referral is needed in order to claim a Medicare rebate or for bulk-billed sessions. Please ask your GP if a Chronic Condition Management Plan might be appropriate for you
Please bring any relevant scans, referral letters, and wear comfortable clothing that allows for movement assessment.
Your first session includes a detailed discussion, physical assessment, and the development of a personalised treatment plan tailored to your goals.
Yes. We provide physiotherapy focused on pelvic floor function, pregnancy-related changes, postnatal recovery, and common pelvic health concerns.
I acknowledge this can be a confronting appointment. I want you to know I’m here to support you, and we will never discuss or do any assessments that you aren’t 100% comfortable with.
Initial consultations are longer to allow for a thorough assessment, with appointments typically 45 minutes, or 60 minutes for hypermobility and pelvic health conditions. Follow-up sessions and sports assessments are 30 minutes and structured to support ongoing progress and treatment adjustments.
We treat people of all ages for a wide range of physiotherapy needs, providing assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation tailored to each individual.
Appointments can be booked easily online via our booking system by visiting the Services page and selecting your preferred time. You’re also welcome to call us to book over the phone. If we don’t answer right away, we may be in with a patient, but we’ll return your call as soon as we can.
True recovery goes beyond quick fixes. At Next Phase Physiotherapy, care is grounded in detailed assessment, clinical reasoning, and personalised treatment plans tailored to your body and your stage of life.
Whether you’re navigating pregnancy, postnatal recovery, pelvic health concerns, connective tissue conditions, or returning to sport, sessions are designed to provide clarity, practical solutions, and steady progress. We also welcome men, trans and non-binary patients, particularly for sporting injuries, rehabilitation, and inclusive care needs. Each appointment meets you where you are, supporting confident movement and long-term wellbeing as you step into your next phase.
