45-minute initial assessments. The same physio every visit.
Step One
Here are five signs it's time to book in with us at our Richmond physiotherapy clinic. You don't need to know what's wrong before you book. Working that out is what the 45-minute initial assessment is for.
Whether you've tweaked your back at that beige yoga studio or hurt your knee during park footy after a couple of glasses of Tempranillo, and you're experiencing specific pain in a joint, muscle, or just a nagging feeling that something isn't right, then it's best to come see us. Lower back strains, ankle sprains, knee injuries and AFL-related injuries are what we see most. Book in below and our sports physiotherapy team will get to the bottom of it.
If you've had a niggle for a few weeks that hasn't gone away, maybe it's even getting worse, it's crucial you come in. Ignoring these seemingly minor issues can lead to long-term damage to your body and soul. Chronic presentations are our bread and butter: persistent lower back pain, tech neck from desk work, shoulder impingement, and TMJ and jaw pain. Don't wait, book an appointment today.
Post-surgery? Get to our Physiotherapy clinic ASAP. After all, Confucius said, "Having surgery without rehabilitation is like living in Melbourne without hail in the summer." Don't overlook the rehab. ACL reconstruction rehabilitation is a core speciality here, with VALD strength testing through every phase. We also handle post-op shoulder, knee and hip rehabilitation.
Want to run 5km, tackle a Moroccan ultramarathon, or get back to social bball, and martinis with your uni mates on a Tuesday night? We'll map it out with you: pre-performance testing on our VALD decks, online training programs, and we'll have fun in the process together. We work across running, cycling, CrossFit and AFL, covering load management, gait analysis and return-to-sport testing.
Previous physio treatment went nowhere? Got conflicting diagnoses from different practitioners? Our Second Opinion appointment runs 75 minutes ($300), longer than a standard 45-minute initial, so there's time to properly review your history, all your imaging, and every treatment you've had, then give you an independent assessment and a new evidence-based plan. Bring all your reports.

What We Treat
You don't need to know your diagnosis to book. That's our job at the assessment. But if you want to read ahead, each condition below has a page covering how we assess it, what treatment looks like, and realistic recovery timelines.
Gluteal tendinopathy and trochanteric bursitis are two of the most common presentations we see, and two of the most commonly mismanaged. Our guide on which exercises to avoid with hip bursitis is read by thousands of people a month, but if you're in Melbourne, an assessment will get you further than an article.
Step Two
Once you've booked in, you'll receive a confirmation email. In this email, you will find a link to fill out a form where you can provide additional information that will only be visible to your Physiotherapist.
You'll find our Physio clinic in a set of office units on the corner of Bromham Place in Richmond here at 11/3 Bromham Place, Richmond VIC. From the outside, there is a blue Evolutio sign outside our door. We're an 8-minute walk from Richmond Station, with three dedicated client parks out front and indoor bike storage.
You'll think you've walked into the set of "When Harry Met Sally." Our clinic waiting room features a large wooden table that we made from reclaimed wood. Have a seat here, have a chat with someone new, have a coffee and your Physio will be with you shortly. Behind it sits an 80m² rehab gym with squat racks, kettlebells and VALD testing equipment, used in treatment, not just for show.
Step Three
After your Physiotherapy session you should feel Elated, Ecstatic, Euphoric. In all seriousness, you should feel supported, listened to, and understood by your Practitioner, furthermore, you should have a clear understanding of what's happened or what is going to happen moving forward with your Physiotherapy treatment and rehab.
Recovery timelines vary by condition. Acute back pain often improves significantly in 2 to 4 weeks, ankle sprains in 2 to 6 weeks, runner's knee and shoulder impingement in 6 to 12 weeks, and ACL reconstruction takes 10 to 12 months to return to sport. Your physio gives you a specific timeline at your first assessment.
You'll receive an email from your Physio within 48 hours of your appointment, with a summary of the session, what they found, a diagnosis if it's possible this early on, and a plan to get you better, with what you need to do, how often we think you should come in for treatment and a timeframe for when we think you will be better.
It's best to email your healthcare practitioner directly (they will give you their email). They will help clear that up. If you weren't happy or completely satisfied, feel free to touch base with our admin team via info@evolutio.com.au
What patients say
Patients tend to write about two things: the practitioner who actually listened, and the plan that actually worked. Here are three of them.
Eight years, still going
Long overdue but I’ve been getting treatment from Bayden over the course of the last 8 years. As a coach & someone who takes his training quite seriously (probably too seriously) the knowledge and guidance from Bayden has been invaluable.
Not only have I managed to stay healthier for longer but my movement has become better and I have become stronger because of it. I send all my clients to Evolutio and can’t recommend them highly enough!
Knowledge, and actually caring
Highly recommend Evolutio! I’ve been seeing Kelsi for physio and she’s fantastic! Super knowledgeable and really cares for her patients.
The whole experience
Excellent. In all ways. Great location. Wonderful facility. Amazing staff. Very detailed assessments and follow up examples. You won’t be disappointed!
