Spine Physiotherapy Geelong

Personalised treatment and rehabilitation programs for all types of back pain.

Our Story

The science of Physiotherapy has progressed significantly in the past 20 years. There has been a boom in the amount of research available for physiotherapists to guide management. The depth of research has allowed physiotherapists to better tailor treatment and rehabilitation programs to optimise patient recoveries. 

 

One of the few downsides to the extensive nature of the research has been the difficulty for Physiotherapists to stay across all the latest advancements for each area of the body.

With this in mind, Spine Physiotherapy Geelong was developed with the vision of providing the Greater Geelong region with a rehabilitation service dedicated to back and neck pain. By focusing on conditions of the spine only, we are able to ensure treatment is of the highest standard and based on the latest research.

Our Team

David Goulding

With over 20 years in the industry, David is an experienced and skilled Physiotherapist.

For his first Physiotherapy job, David joined the innovative team at Spinal Management Clinics of Victoria. The role involved the exclusive management of chronic neck and back pain and provided the stimulus for a career long passion for helping patients with all varieties of spinal pain. 


Since being inspired by his early work, David has worked diligently to maximise his skills and knowledge in the management of back and neck pain. His extra efforts to improve have included two post-graduate degrees, numerous professional development courses and the involvement in a number of university run research projects. 

 

Clinically, David has worked in a wide variety of settings including football clubs, hospital wards, outpatient rehab, private practices and a multidisciplinary pain management program. That wide variety of settings has helped David understand treatment requirements at all stages of care.


When not working in the clinic, David also consults on the Clinical Panels at both WorkSafe Victoria and the TAC. David is also a casual tutor at LaTrobe University assisting the post-graduate Masters students on the Pain Sciences subject.

FAQs

Got a question? We’re here to help.

  • How can physiotherapy help me?

    At Spine Physiotherapy Geelong, we complete a thorough assessment of your condition to help determine the cause of your pain. From there, we are able to develop a personalised treatment plan that gets you back to achieving your goals.

  • Do you accept Private Health Insurance?

    Yes. If your Private Health Insurance plan includes Physiotherapy services, you can claim the benefit at the time of consultation via HiCaps. 

  • Do you treat other areas of the body, aside from lower back and neck?

    Yes. Even though our clinic has a special interest in the management of back and neck pain, our team are experienced therapists with post-graduate qualifications in Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy. As such, we can provide expert care of all other musculoskeletal injuries- knees, shoulders, elbows, hips, ankles, etc. 


    You can be guaranteed we will provide the same care and attention to any condition that we see.  

  • Do you have a cancellation or late fee policy?

    Not formally. It is preferred that you notify the clinic as early as possible if you are unable to make your appointment so that we can offer it to someone else.
