Miss Kaitlan Merhi is a physiotherapist based in Drummoyne, in Sydney’s inner west. She works from Level 2, 169 Victoria Road, Drummoyne NSW 2047, helping people get back to moving more freely and feeling more comfortable in their day-to-day life.
Physiotherapy can help when pain makes things harder than they should be. That might be soreness after an injury, stiffness that hangs around, or niggles that slowly affect the way you walk, sit, or use your arms and legs. In many cases, it’s not only about reducing pain. It’s also about getting your movement back on track and building the right support around it.
Miss Merhi’s appointments often focus on practical physical therapy exercises. These are tailored to the way your body moves and what you’re trying to do again, whether that’s returning to sport, getting through work without feeling worn out, or simply going for a walk with less discomfort.
Pain management is also a big part of the work. Sometimes pain needs a steady plan, not just “rest and wait”. Her sessions may include strategies to help calm things down, plus movement choices that feel safe. Over time, the goal is to help you understand what triggers your pain and what helps you settle it.
Range of motion and mobility can get limited after injury or with long periods of sitting and tight muscles. Miss Merhi looks at how joints are moving and how your body is coping. At times, small changes to movement can make a real difference, and exercises are used to build that range up again in a steady way.
Gait training and posture correction are useful when walking or body position is affecting comfort. If you’ve noticed changes in your stride, balance, or the way you hold yourself, physio can help you move more evenly. The aim is better control and confidence, not just a quick fix.
While every person’s situation is different, the common thread is support that feels clear and grounded. Miss Merhi’s approach uses real-world techniques like targeted exercises, pain management strategies, and movement training to help you keep improving between visits.
