Mark Round is a physiotherapist based in Altona Meadows, Victoria. You can find the clinic at 329 Queen Street, Altona Meadows VIC 3028.
Mark helps people who are dealing with everyday aches and pains, stiffness, or issues that make it harder to move the way they want. Sometimes it’s after an injury. Other times it’s been building up over months, and you just want to get on top of it. In many cases, the goal is simple: feel better, move better, and get back to your normal routine.
Physical therapy sessions are at the centre of Mark’s care. Sessions are practical and hands-on, with a focus on what’s going on with your body and what you can do about it. If you’ve been trying to push through pain, the approach is more about helping you work out what your body needs now, not just waiting for it to settle.
Exercise programs are also a big part of the plan. These aren’t about doing things for the sake of it. They’re used to build strength, improve movement, and support the areas that feel niggly or tight. At times, the exercises are small and steady, and they grow as you improve.
For people with limited movement or tight joints, Mark may use joint mobilization as part of the treatment. This can help when joints feel stiff, when you’re not getting the range you want, or when movement feels “blocked”. It’s usually paired with advice about how to move safely between appointments.
Pain management techniques are used to help you cope while you build progress. Pain can change day to day, so the plan aims to give you tools for flare-ups, not just one quick fix. Mark looks at how pain affects your day, your sleep, and the things you’re trying to do, then works with you on a realistic path forward.
Overall, Mark’s physiotherapy style is calm and grounded. The work focuses on getting you moving again, easing discomfort, and setting you up with a plan you can actually stick with over time.
