Mr Matthew Williams is a physiotherapist based in Lane Cove, NSW. He works from Shop 7, 102-104 Longueville Road, Lane Cove NSW 2066, where the focus is on helping people move better and feel more comfortable day to day.
Physiotherapy can help with lots of different problems, from niggling aches and ongoing pain to stiffness after an injury. Many people see him for treatment when their joints feel tight, their muscles feel sore, or their movement just isn’t as smooth as it used to be. In many cases, it’s about getting you back to the activities you care about, whether that’s walking comfortably, exercising again, or just getting through work and home life without trouble.
Sessions often include physical therapy exercises that suit your body and your goals. These are not just random stretches. The aim is usually to build strength, improve control, and help your body cope better with everyday movement. At times, joint mobilisation is also used to help reduce stiffness and improve how well a joint can move.
Soft tissue massage may be used where it makes sense, especially when pain is linked to tight muscles or sore areas. Posture correction is another big part of the work. It’s common for people to put up with “that’s just how I sit” for years, then wonder why they get aches. Small changes, practised consistently, can make a difference.
If walking has become harder, gait training can help. That might include working on how you step, your balance, and the way your weight moves through your legs. It’s practical, and it’s usually tailored to what you’re experiencing—so you’re not just given generic advice.
Over time, the plan is built around what you can do now, and what you want to get back to. Treatment is often a mix of hands-on care and exercise, with clear guidance for what to do between visits. The goal is steady progress, not a quick fix.
There’s no need to have a perfect diagnosis before coming in. If you’re dealing with pain, stiffness, or movement problems and you want a calm, straightforward approach, Matthew can help you work out the next steps.
