Matthew Viola is a physiotherapist based in Girraween, NSW. You can find the practice at Unit 5, 51 Mandoon Road, Girraween NSW 2145. Matthew looks after people who want to get back to feeling good in their bodies and moving with more ease.
Physiotherapy can help when things feel stiff, sore, or just “not right” after an injury. It can also help with ongoing aches that build up over time, especially if you sit a lot, stand for work, or have trouble walking comfortably. In many cases, Matthew focuses on the bits you can control day to day, like how you move, how you use your joints, and how your muscles are coping.
Sessions often include physical therapy exercises, tailored to your situation. That might be strength work, mobility work, or simple rehab moves you can build into your routine. Matthew also uses joint mobilisation to help with movement and comfort, and soft tissue massage when tightness or sore spots are getting in the way.
Posture can play a bigger role than people expect. If your neck, shoulders, back, or hips are taking the brunt of how you sit or stand, posture correction may be part of the plan. The aim is not just to “stretch and hope”, but to find practical changes that make a difference to your everyday life.
Walking and balance matter, too. If pain or weakness is affecting your gait, Matthew can help with gait training. This may cover the way you place your foot, how you shift your weight, and how you build safer, smoother movement.
Matthew works with a range of ages and needs. Some people come in after an injury, while others need help managing pain that keeps returning. The approach is calm and grounded, with a focus on understanding what’s going on and choosing steps that make sense.
His physiotherapy training covers movement, pain, and rehabilitation. Over time, the work is about building confidence in your body again, not just getting through one session. At times, you may need a steady plan and a bit of patience, especially when the problem has been there for a while.
If you’re not sure what you need, that’s okay. Matthew can talk through your symptoms and then guide the next steps, using exercise, hands-on treatment, and movement coaching to support recovery and better function.
