Services
Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapy services focus on musculoskeletal rehabilitation through personalized treatment plans. Using manual therapy techniques combined with evidence-based approaches, we help patients recover from injuries and manage chronic conditions. Our therapists provide comprehensive assessments and create customized exercise programs to restore mobility and prevent future injuries.
IMS Treatment
Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) is used to treat muscle tightness and nerve-related pain. This advanced technique targets trigger points to release muscle tension and promote healing. Our certified practitioners use IMS to address chronic pain conditions and sports-related muscle imbalances effectively.
Medical Acupuncture
Medical acupuncture is integrated into treatment plans to manage pain and inflammation. Our physiotherapists use this technique to complement traditional physiotherapy methods, targeting specific points to improve circulation and promote natural healing processes for various musculoskeletal conditions.
Custom Orthotics
We provide customized orthotic solutions for foot-related biomechanical issues. Our practitioners conduct thorough gait analysis to create personalized orthotic devices that improve alignment, reduce pain, and enhance overall foot function for both athletic and everyday activities.
Bike Fitting
Our bike fitting service optimizes cycling posture to prevent injuries and enhance performance. Using advanced assessment techniques, we adjust bike geometry to match individual biomechanics, addressing common cycling-related discomforts and improving riding efficiency for all skill levels.

Report
Van Sports never disappoints. Both my tweenage daughter and I have been looked after here by Yvonne and Michael for a few years. Their professionalism and the ease of booking and changing appointments are also among the reasons we continue to go there. My daughter is extremely sporty, and admitted sometimes treats her body like a battering ram! Their use of varied techniques to get you back to the fullest mobility and healing really have made them the best for physio!

Kim McArthur Yae has been my physiotherapist/acupuncturist for many many years now. She gives excellent treatment and has a great bed-side manner! I have no problem referring Kim to anyone who has had an injury. They will not be disappointed.

I'm quite careful about where I go and who I see as I've been dealing with chronic injuries to both my shoulders and hands for several years now. I was fortunately to come across Van Sports and Physiotherapy and made a few appointments with Michael to do Shockwave. I'm pleased to say that after several treatments, I've regained significant function to both my hands and shoulders, and my pain is almost all gone. I highly recommend this clinic and can only say thank you Michael for his care and professionalism.

This was my first time visiting the clinic. Kim was very thorough and I felt listened to, as well as hope for improvement with a tricky "stuck" shoulder. Kim is personable and explains what she is doing and why, as well as sent me off with a plan for healing.
