Our Team

For over 30 years Bathurst Physiotherapy and Sports Injuries Centre have helped the people of the central west life a better life. Our goal is to provide the best possible care for our clients. Whether you are suffering and in pain or trying to live your life to the fullest, we are committed to providing expert, compassionate care and advice.

Our staff are passionate about helping their clients achieve their goals, we do this by striving to reach our full potential as physiotherapists. We are committed to continually improving our skills through ongoing education and training so that our clients are given the absolute best possible care. As a practice we have an ongoing commitment to education, learning, skill development and reflective practice.

Our commitment to providing the best possible care is demonstrated by two of our principle’s John Roberts and Jon Garner who are currently undertaking PhD’s on persistent pain and falls respectively. Luke Howard and John Roberts have undergone formal post-graduate training to qualify as Titled physiotherapist, and Jon Garner has completed post graduate Master’s in Rehabilitation and a graduate certificate in Teaching and Learning in higher education.

Our commitment is also demonstrated in our contribution to physiotherapy education. John, Luke and Jon either lecture or tutor at Charles Sturt University (CSU) on the undergraduate physiotherapy programme. We also provide clinical placements and supervise physiotherapy students from CSU, Sydney University and Newcastle University. Shannon Loughnan has previously been a tutor for the Masters of Exercise Science Program at CSU.

By striving to be our best, we can provide our clients with the best possible care. We understand how hard it can be dealing with debilitating injuries and how hard it is to navigate the language and investigations used in medicine. We are proud of the time we take to help educate our clients the implications of their injury or health condition, what the investigations mean and how to progress towards recovery.

As a staff we have over 100 years combined physiotherapy experience. We are compassionate, caring and interested in our client’s stories. We draw on our training and experience to listen to our clients, discuss their goals and collaboratively develop an evidenced based treatment plan. Treatment includes a thorough in-depth assessment followed by, a vast array of manual and soft tissue techniques. Education about your condition and what you can expect from treatment, and a structured meaningful exercise programme that is directed towards your goals.

We have been members of the local medical community for thirty years. We have a strong network of health professionals such as GP’s, orthopaedic surgeons, rheumatologists, psychologists, pharmacists and exercise physiologists who we collaborate with to help you live a better life.
