Positive Motion Rehabilitation in Kingston and Tuggeranong, offers a warm, supportive space where you can find expert physiotherapy care tailored to your needs. Our team provides sports physiotherapy, spinal physiotherapy, musculoskeletal treatment, shockwave, dry needling, massage, individual and group exercise rehab, hydrotherapy, Pilates-based exercise, and general physiotherapy for people of all ages and activity levels. With more than 20 years of providing trusted physiotherapy services as Kingston Physio to the Canberra community, we pride ourselves on long one-to-one consults, a hands-on approach, and individualised recovery planning that respects your goals and lifestyle. Whether you’re dealing with pain, recovering from injury, managing chronic conditions, or simply wanting to move better and feel stronger, our therapists offer evidence-based support and genuine care every step of the way.

COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT & PERSONALISED TREATMENT

Every physiotherapy journey begins with a thorough, one-on-one assessment where we take the time to understand your symptoms, lifestyle, movement habits, and overall health. This allows us to identify the true drivers behind your discomfort rather than just treating the surface-level pain. Our personalised treatment approach may include hands-on manual therapy, mobilisations, dry needling, targeted exercise prescription, hydrotherapy, and postural education. As each body is different, your plan is designed specifically for your needs, whether that’s getting back to sport, staying active at work, or simply enjoying daily tasks without pain.

NECK & UPPER BACK PAIN MANAGEMENT

Neck and upper back pain can be incredibly disruptive, affecting your comfort at work, sleep quality, and overall wellbeing. These areas often become irritated by long hours at the computer, stress, poor posture, or extended periods of driving or sitting. At Positive Motion Rehabilitation, we take a holistic look at your posture, mobility, muscle balance, and lifestyle factors to pinpoint the true source of your symptoms. Treatment may include hands-on therapy, soft tissue release, joint mobilisation, dry needling, and guided exercise rehabilitation. We also offer small group exercise classes using reformer-based Pilates, mobility work, and strength training to help restore balanced muscle function and support long-term improvement.

LOWER BACK & HIP PAIN CARE

Lower back and hip pain can stem from many causes, from sports overload and gym training errors to the physical demands of work or prolonged sitting. Our experienced physiotherapists assess movement patterns, muscle activation, joint mechanics, and daily habits to identify what’s contributing to your pain. Treatment may involve targeted mobility work, strengthening, manual therapy, movement retraining, and load-management planning for active individuals.

  • Adults with sedentary work routines
  • People returning to activity after injury

SUPPORT FOR HIP & KNEE OSTEOARTHRITIS

Hip and knee osteoarthritis can significantly impact mobility, comfort, and independence. Our physiotherapists help manage symptoms through targeted exercise, joint mobility work, strength training, hydrotherapy, and education around lifestyle strategies, including pacing, recovery, and weight management where relevant. We work closely with your GP or specialist when needed and help you understand all conservative management options before surgery is considered. Our goal is to preserve function, reduce pain, and improve confidence in movement so you can stay active in the ways that matter most.

FOOT & ANKLE PAIN RELIEF

Foot and ankle pain can stop you in your tracks, making it hard to walk comfortably, enjoy exercise, or participate in daily tasks. We assess alignment, joint mobility, gait patterns, footwear influences, and any history of injury to determine the underlying cause. Treatment may include manual therapy, taping, strengthening, mobility work, and load management. Whether your symptoms arise from sprains, tendon irritation, arthritis, or repetitive stress, we’ll help you get back on your feet with confidence and ease.

SHOULDER PAIN & FUNCTIONAL RESTORATION

Shoulder pain is common in athletes, gym-goers, desk workers, and those recovering from medical treatments such as breast cancer surgery or radiotherapy. Our physiotherapists conduct a detailed assessment to identify the root cause, whether it’s mobility restriction, muscle imbalance, poor movement control, or postural strain. Treatment may include manual therapy, stabilisation exercises, strength conditioning, postural retraining, and progressive return-to-activity planning. We focus on restoring mobility, improving strength, reducing pain, and ensuring long-term function.

HEAD, NECK, JAW PAIN & DIZZINESS SUPPORT

Headaches, TMJ dysfunction, neck pain, and dizziness are often interconnected through the muscles and nerves of the head, face, and neck. Our team identifies contributing factors such as teeth grinding, jaw tension, poor posture, stress, or cervical spine restriction. Treatment may involve gentle manual therapy, jaw mobility work, postural retraining, and targeted exercises to reduce muscle tension and restore balance. Where dizziness is related to inner-ear issues, we provide vestibular assessment and rehabilitation to support steadiness and confidence.
