Physiotherapist - Private Practice 0.7-1.0 FTE

At Spring Physio we pride ourselves on professional excellence and a supportive, nurturing environment for our patients and our team. We engage with our patients in a positive and kind way that empowers them throughout their injury management.

We’ve been part of the Malvern community for over 15 years, and our history goes back 28 years through Kooyong Physiotherapy Centre. In October 2026 the two practices came together under one roof in an expanded practice in Malvern. We now have a team of 10 physiotherapists and 7 administrative staff.

Our practice includes two Pilates spaces, a fully equipped gym and private treatment rooms. We offer hands-on manual therapy alongside gym and rehab-based exercise, in groups and 1:1. In early 2027 we’re launching a new strength service, a physio-led progressive overload strength program for bone and muscle health.

We’re a skilled team of physios who believe in delivering best practice and having a great time along the way. We’re real and authentic, and we value listening and caring, for our patients and for each other. Outside work we love good company and great food. We play a lot of sport, read a lot of books, swap travel stories and eat out (and in) often. Fair warning: we take a bake-off very seriously.
