Supporting Better Movement Through Physiotherapy
With years of hands-on experience treating injuries like neck, knee, and back pain, we know what truly works — and what doesn’t.
An injury or painful condition can affect your movement and make exercise, training, sport, work, and everyday tasks more difficult. Motion Ease Physiotherapy provides personalised physiotherapy care for clients from Bowen Hills at our Newstead clinic, with treatment based on your individual condition and recovery goals.
Our physiotherapist works with clients experiencing sports injuries, sporting injuries, and musculoskeletal conditions affecting areas such as the neck, back, shoulders, knees, hips, and ankles. Each physiotherapy treatment considers your symptoms, movement, physical function, and the activities you want to return to.
Depending on your needs, treatment may include manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, dry needling, cupping, soft tissue massage, and sport-specific exercise and programming. From sports physiotherapy and injury rehab to post-surgical rehabilitation and injury prevention, your treatment can progress as your movement, strength, and physical function improve.

I’ve been seeing Steve at Motion Ease Physiotherapy for couple of months now. And I cannot recommend him enough. From the very first session he took the time to understand my concerns and created a customized plan to treat my Ankle injury. His expertise in physio therapy and dry needling have made a huge difference in my recovery process. And I have noticed significant improvements in my mobility and pain levels. If you are looking for a knowledgeable and a caring physio – Steve is the one to see!
