Mr Matthew James Long is a physiotherapist based in Horsham, Victoria. His practice is at 18 McLachlan Street, Horsham VIC 3400. If you’re dealing with aches, stiffness, or trouble moving, he helps you work out what’s going on and what to do next.
In physio, it’s often not just about “getting better” quickly. It’s about building strength and movement that can last. Matthew looks at your symptoms and your day-to-day needs, then guides you through practical physical therapy exercises. Many people find that the right exercises can help with things like sore joints, tight muscles, and limited range of motion.
He also uses hands-on techniques when they suit your situation. Joint mobilization can be part of treatment, especially when stiffness is getting in the way. Heat and cold therapy may be used to help settle discomfort and support recovery after flare-ups. Stretching techniques are another common piece of care, particularly when tightness makes movement feel harder than it should.
Appointments are usually about getting you moving more comfortably. Sometimes you’ll feel better straight away, and other times it takes a bit longer, especially if the problem has been building up over months. Over time, you can expect clear guidance on what to do at home, along with progress that makes sense for where your body is at. Matthew’s care style is calm and straightforward, with a focus on practical steps you can stick with.
