Recover Strong. Move with Purpose. Perform Beyond.

At Bertram Physiotherapy, we believe every setback is an opportunity to rebuild stronger. Our focus is on helping you recover with confidence, guided by sports science, hands-on expertise, and genuine care.

Whether you’re an elite athlete, a weekend warrior, or someone who simply loves to stay active, we’ll help you move better, perform better, and return to your sport ready for more.

Driven by Passion. Backed by Experience. Guided by Care.

We’re not just physiotherapists — we’re athletes, coaches, and movement enthusiasts who understand what it’s like to be sidelined by injury and what it takes to come back stronger.

Our team brings together clinical expertise, sporting experience, and compassion to deliver an exceptional level of care. We take the time to listen, assess thoroughly, and explain clearly — with long, one-on-one consultations that allow us to truly understand your injury and your goals.

At Bertram Physiotherapy, you’ll never feel rushed. You’ll feel supported, informed, and encouraged — every step of the way.

Hands-On Care Meets Sports Science

We combine advanced physiotherapy techniques with evidence-based sports science to optimise your recovery. Our hands-on approach is at the core of what we do — using manual therapy to restore movement, reduce pain, and accelerate healing.

Your treatment may include:

• Manual therapy and joint mobilisation

• Remedial and sports massage

• Dry needling

• Sports and kinesiology taping

• Individualised exercise programs (strength, balance, mobility, and conditioning)

• Rehabilitation in our fully equipped gym

• Education and load management strategies

• Return-to-sport planning and performance testing

By integrating these treatments with modern rehabilitation principles, we help you recover efficiently and reduce your risk of re-injury.

Smart, Individualised Recovery

No two athletes — and no two injuries — are the same. Your program is built specifically for you, drawing on biomechanics, sports science, and your performance goals.

We’ll guide you through a structured, progressive plan that restores movement, builds strength, and develops resilience. Our aim is not just recovery, but long-term performance — helping you move well, feel confident, and stay active for the long run.

A Space Designed for Recovery and Growth

Our rehabilitation gym bridges the gap between injury and peak performance. With state-of-the-art equipment, strength and conditioning tools, and the latest technology, our space supports your journey from early rehab to return-to-play.

It’s where science meets care — a supportive environment to rebuild confidence, strength, and athletic capacity under expert supervision.

Introducing the Revolutionary Light Speed Lift

A key feature of our rehabilitation gym is the Light Speed Lift, a revolutionary weighted treadmill designed to accelerate your recovery. This state-of-the-art machine works by reducing your body weight, providing support during walking, running, or training. The Light Speed Lift uses an advanced air suspension system to lift and offload up to 80% of your body weight, allowing you to perform rehabilitation exercises with less impact on your joints and injured areas.

By reducing weight-bearing load, it allows you to safely engage in activities earlier in your recovery, which is especially helpful after surgery, injuries, or when dealing with chronic pain. You can gradually increase the amount of body weight supported by the machine as you progress in your rehabilitation, making it ideal for building strength, improving mobility, and boosting performance without risking further injury.

Who Can Benefit from the Light Speed Lift?

The Light Speed Lift is suitable for a wide range of patients and injuries. Whether you're recovering from a sports injury, surgery, or dealing with a chronic condition, the Light Speed Lift can accelerate your recovery and help you return to full activity faster. It is particularly beneficial for:

• Athletes: Whether you're recovering from a sprain, strain, or ligament injury, the Light Speed Lift allows you to continue training and rebuild strength without putting undue stress on the injured area.
• Post-Surgery Patients: Ideal for patients recovering from surgeries such as joint replacements, ligament repairs, or fractures. The machine’s weight support helps you regain mobility while minimizing impact and strain.
• Chronic Pain Sufferers: Patients dealing with long-term conditions like arthritis or other musculoskeletal issues can use the Light Speed Lift to maintain cardiovascular health and improve endurance without exacerbating pain.
• Rehabilitation after Prostate Surgery: The Light Speed Lift provides a gentle way to start regaining mobility and strength after prostate surgery, helping you recover without risking strain on sensitive areas.

What Injuries Does the Light Speed Lift Help With?

The Light Speed Lift is an excellent tool for a variety of sports and musculoskeletal injuries, including:

• Ligament and Tendon Injuries (e.g., ACL, MCL, Achilles tendons)
• Sprains and Strains
• Fractures (especially after casting or joint replacement surgeries)
• Overuse Injuries (e.g., shin splints, runner’s knee, tendinitis)
• Chronic Conditions (such as arthritis or lower back pain)
• Post-Surgery Recovery (especially after joint or hip replacements)

Benefits of Using the Light Speed Lift

• Faster Recovery: By reducing the impact on your injured area, the Light Speed Lift allows you to perform exercises earlier in your recovery.
• Gradual Weight Bearing: With up to 80% weight support, you can safely ease back into weight-bearing activities and increase load tolerance over time.
• Reduced Pain and Stress: The reduction in body weight minimizes pain, allowing you to continue exercising without exacerbating your condition.
• Boosted Performance: Not only does it help with injury recovery, but it’s also a great tool for improving cardiovascular health, endurance, and overall athletic performance.

Affordable Pay-As-You-Go Access

We want to ensure you have access to the best recovery tools. That's why patients can come in and use the Light Speed Lift during your recovery period for a small pay-as-you-go cost, allowing you to make the most of your rehabilitation sessions.
