Who We Help
Whether you're recovering from injury, managing a health condition or looking to improve your wellbeing, we’re here to help.
At Active Balance, we love to work with a wide range of people, from junior footballers and weekend runners to desk workers with persistent back pain, older adults wanting to stay strong and independent, and everyone in between.
You don't need a referral, a diagnosis, or a specific sport. You just need to want to feel better and move well.
How We Work:
At Active Balance, we offer a range of services to help you move, feel, and live better at every stage of life. Whether you're an athlete, a tradie, a busy parent, or an older adult wanting to stay independent, we have the skills and the team to support you.
Injury prevention
We can help you reduce your risk of injury before it happens. Whether you're building up your training, getting back into exercise, returning to work, or just want to keep doing what you love without it catching up with you.
Rehabilitation & recovery
Dealing with pain, a new injury, or an old niggle that won't go away? We'll work with you to get back to doing what you love — safely and confidently.
Strength & conditioning
Want to get stronger, move better, or build your fitness back up? We can help you progress at the right pace and avoid unnecessary setbacks along the way.
Hands-on treatment
Our team uses a range of manual therapies to support recovery, reduce tightness, and relieve pain, including remedial, sports, deep tissue and lymphatic massage, myotherapy, dry needling, joint mobilisation, myofascial release, and myofascial cupping.
Movement screening & assessments
We offer movement screenings and assessments to identify weaknesses or imbalances before they become a problem — useful whether you're an athlete, returning to exercise, or managing a long-term condition.
Return to activity testing
We use advanced performance testing equipment to take the guesswork out of returning to training, sport, or work — so you go back with confidence, not just hope.
Education & support
We're here to help you understand your body — not just treat it. That includes guidance on movement, load management, and recovery, as well as communication with coaches, employers, or other health professionals where it's helpful.
Infrared sauna and Normatec compression boots available to book to help support muscle recovery, reduce inflammation, and speed up recovery after training, work, or a big day on your feet.
Types of Clients We See At Active Balance...
From weekend sport to competitive training, we help active people at every level prevent injuries, recover well, and get back to doing what they love.
Young athletes
Growing bodies are different, and so are the injuries that come with them. We work with young athletes from a range of sports to keep them moving safely and confidently.
Everyday adults
Life is physical, even when you're not sporty. We help everyday people manage pain, recover from injury, and get back to moving well, no matter what that looks like for you.
Workplace & occupational injuries
Older adults & healthy ageing
Staying strong, mobile, and independent matters at every age. We work with older adults to manage pain and conditions, reduce falls risk, and build the strength needed for everyday life.
We welcome NDIS participants and work with a range of conditions and goals. If you're unsure whether we can help or how it works, just get in touch and we'll talk it through with you.
Surgical prehab & rehab
Whether you're preparing for surgery or recovering from it, the work you do before and after makes a real difference to your outcome. We work with people before and after orthopaedic procedures, including joint replacements, reconstructions, and spinal surgery, to help get the most from the operation and recovery.
We're an approved provider for the SAPOL Reconditioning Program. If you're an eligible SA Police employee, you can claim back the cost of physio, exercise physiology, and some massage treatments, making your care essentially out of pocket free.
Chronic & complex conditions
Some conditions need longer-term, consistent support, not a quick fix. We work with people managing chronic pain, persistent injuries, and complex presentations that perhaps haven't responded to treatment elsewhere.
