Our highly trained Physiotherapists are here to help you by providing treatment for physical problems caused by injury, illness, disease, chronic conditions or ageing.

Hands On
We use up-to-date techniques including massage, joint mobilisation, electrotherapy, exercise advice and prescription.
Educational
We believe the more you understand your condition and your options, the better you can reach and exceed your goals.
Exercise-Focused
We bridge the gap between treatment and exercise. We use exercise within your treatment plan and also offer ongoing exercise classes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Let us help find answers to any question you might have. If we don’t have the information you need, we can always point you in the right direction! Send us a message.
What should I expect from a Physiotherapy consultation?
A consultation with your Physiotherapist will include a thorough assessment of you to identify and diagnose the underlying cause of your injury. We will then provide you with the treatment and management solutions you need to achieve your goals as quickly as possible.
What’s the difference between a Physiotherapist and a Specialist Women’s, Men’s and Pelvic Health Physiotherapist?
A general Physiotherapist practitioner will hold a Bachelor, Master’s or Doctorate degree in Physiotherapy.
A Specialist Women’s Men’s and Pelvic Health Physiotherapist has achieved advanced specialised training and successfully completed clinical and oral examinations to be admitted as a fellow to the Australia College of Physiotherapists.
Both our directors, Libby Oldfield and Gen McGlashan, have achieved fellowship of the Australian College of Physiotherapists (FACP) – both in 2010 – and are therefore recognised as Specialist Physiotherapists.
There are only 9 Specialist Women’s, Men’s and Pelvic Health Physiotherapists in Australia.
A Clinical Women’s, Men’s and Pelvic Health Specialist Physiotherapist is skilled at assessing difficult and complex Physiotherapy problems, particularly those that have not responded to previous treatment. Our Specialist Women’s Men’s and Pelvic Health Physiotherapists, Gen McGlashan and Libby Oldfield, work with other physiotherapy practitioners both at Fitwise and other practices to help you get the optimal results from your management and treatment.
Achieve your Goals and Get Moving with Confidence
We’re open in two locations East Melbourne and Armadale (or via telehealth) to help you achieve your goals through Physiotherapy, Exercise classes, Myotherapy, Remedial Massage and Dietetics.
