Our Physiotherapists in Kew
Two physiotherapists work at our Kew clinic. You see the same person through your recovery, so nobody has to re-explain your history at every visit.
Andrew Papathanassiou, Physiotherapist. Andrew holds a Master of Physiotherapy and started out as an Allied Health Assistant. He works with sports injuries, exercise based rehabilitation and pain management, and has treated patients in private practice, hospitals and community settings. If you want to get back to training, Andrew builds the program that gets you there and explains why each exercise is in it.
Cindy Escobar, Physiotherapist. Cindy holds a Bachelor of Physiotherapy (Honours). She treats neck pain, back pain and knee, shoulder and ankle injuries, and brings experience from intensive care, trauma orthopaedics, elderly care and cardiac rehabilitation. She looks for the cause behind the pain so the same problem does not come back in six months.
Both are registered with AHPRA. Both are bookable online for an initial physiotherapy consult in Kew. You can read their full profiles on our team page.
Treatments Available in Kew
If you are struggling with joint pain, a sports injury, or recovery after surgery, we can help you heal and get your strength and movement back. Tap a condition below to see how we treat it, or call (03) 9853 7836. Treatment plans are built around your situation, so get in touch for detail on yours.
Back, Neck Pain
Neck and back pain, often caused by stress or poor posture, can disrupt daily activities and spread discomfort to the shoulders or head. Our physiotherapist Cindy Escobar treats neck and back pain, working on relieving the pain, restoring movement and addressing what caused it, so the relief lasts.
Chest Pain
Chest pain related to musculoskeletal issues can come from injuries, poor posture or overuse. Our treatment focuses on finding the source of the discomfort, reducing pain and improving movement, so you can breathe and move more freely. Chest pain has other causes too, so see your GP or call 000 if it is sudden, severe, or comes with breathlessness.
Growing Pains
Growing pains affect children and teenagers, causing discomfort in the legs or joints while they develop. We offer gentle, targeted therapy and advice to reduce the pain, support healthy growth, and keep young ones active through it.
Headaches, Migraines
Headaches and migraines can come from tension, posture problems or neck issues. We treat those underlying causes with hands-on treatment and exercise, which can reduce how often the headaches arrive and how hard they hit.
Joint Strains
Joint strains from injuries or repetitive movement can limit what you can do and hurt while you do it. We use targeted therapy to reduce the pain, restore joint function and strengthen the muscles around it, which supports your recovery and lowers the chance of it happening again.
Muscle Strains
Muscle strains happen from overuse, poor posture or a sudden movement. Treatment focuses on settling the pain, rebuilding strength and restoring flexibility, so you get back to your normal activities quickly and safely.
Overuse Injuries
Overuse injuries build up from repeated movement or load, and they often hit athletes and active people. Your care includes a rehabilitation plan for the injury plus changes to training or workload, so you recover and the injury stays away.
Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis causes joint pain and stiffness that gets in the way of ordinary movement. Treatment aims to reduce the inflammation, improve how the joint works and strengthen the muscles supporting it, so you can move with more comfort.
Pelvic Floor Problems
Pelvic floor problems can affect bladder control, posture and core strength. We provide discreet, evidence-based treatment designed to restore function, reduce discomfort and improve daily life.
Posture Issues
Poor posture leads to pain, muscle strain and stiffness. We treat it by correcting alignment, strengthening the core and changing how you move through the day, at your desk and in the gym.
Sports Injuries
Sports injuries sideline even the most active people. Andrew Papathanassiou works on reducing the pain, getting the tissue healing, and building a rehabilitation plan that returns you to your sport with the strength to stay in it.
What to Expect During Your First Visit
Your first appointment runs 45 minutes. You will not be handed a generic exercise sheet at the door. We look for the cause of the pain, not only the spot that hurts, and you leave knowing what the problem is and what happens next.
Assessment. We ask about your symptoms, your history and what your days actually involve, then examine how you move.
Diagnosis. We tell you what we think is going on and why, in words you can repeat to someone else.
Treatment plan. You get a plan with the treatment, the exercises and a realistic timeframe.
Questions. Ask them. You should walk out clear on what to do between now and your next visit.
The clinic sits on Cotham Road near Kew Junction, so it is easy to reach from Kew, Hawthorn, Balwyn and Camberwell. Wear clothing you can move in.
