Marc Southgate
Director / Principle Physiotherapist
Hi, I’m Marc,
Founder and Director of Physio Moves. I am passionate about bringing movement to your everyday because I have a true belief that moving daily will change your life!
Energetic and enthusiastic Physiotherapy, with a love for serving people and understanding how to optimize your body functions best describes your experience in my care. I have an hollistic practice approach to therapy based on an integration of patient life and health history evaluation, manual therapy, and exercise prescription that focuses on treating the cause of your problem rather than providing you with a temporary solution.
I have a keen attitude towards health and fitness, finding that some of the greatest rewards in life are those achieved by helping others reach a destination in life they thought was untouchable whether it be signing up to that half marathon you only ever dreamed possible, living life pain and injury free, dropping those extra kg’s, or returning to a former sport or passion.
I have 20+ years experience in the health and fitness industry and 17 years experience providing Physiotherapy and Strength and Conditioning services to the general public and premier level sports teams.
Feel free to visit me at the Physio Moves Flatbush and Botany Town Centre, I am here to help you.
