Exercise Physiologist/Physiotherapist

About us

Physio on Patterson is a local clinic to Bentleigh which focuses on providing great service to local clientele. There is a strong emphasis on education, empowerment and encouragement to engage in active lifestyles and habits to provide long term health and mobility.

We have a big belief in exercise prioritised management. We run many 2:1 strength and rehab sessions which incorporate a blend of gym based work with pilates as appropriate. We also run separate 4:1 Clinical Pilates sessions at scheduled intervals during the day.

A key aspect of this model is pre class assessment and programming. This is where clients are put through a battery of objective testing that quantify current function. This includes hand held and pull dynamometry, force plate assessments and endurance testing. Initial programming and plans are then set up based on these findings.

About the role:

We are looking for an accredited exercise physiologist to support our physiotherapy staff by conducting some of our patient assessments and primarily running the small group sessions. Collaborating with the physios to progress patient outcomes and goals will also be a primary function of this role.
