David Allan is a physiotherapist based in Arana Hills, QLD. He works at 21 Hoxton Street, and helps people get back to feeling better and moving more easily. If pain has started to change the way you walk, sit, or use your joints, that’s often where physiotherapy can make a real difference.
In clinic, David focuses on physical therapy that’s practical and geared toward everyday life. Sessions can include physical therapy exercises to build strength, improve movement, and reduce pain over time. Joint mobilisation is used in many cases to help with stiffness, poor range of motion, and that “tight” feeling people get in shoulders, hips, knees, or the lower back.
Soft tissue massage may also be part of treatment, especially when muscles feel knotted, sore, or overworked. Posture correction is another common area of care, particularly for people who spend long hours sitting, driving, or working at a bench. Small changes in posture and movement can take pressure off sore areas and help the body work more smoothly.
For walking problems, David looks at how someone moves and then uses gait training to support safer, more balanced steps. At times this can involve checking balance, stride, and the way the foot hits the ground. It’s not just about getting through a short test. The goal is to help people walk with more confidence in daily routines, whether that’s around the house, at work, or on the footpath.
David’s physiotherapy training supports a hands-on approach to movement and recovery. He takes time to understand what’s been going on and then aims for a plan that fits around real schedules and comfort levels. There’s no rush, and treatment usually builds step by step. If needed, he also works with people on home exercise routines so progress can keep going between appointments.
