Heather Burns is a physiotherapist based in Maroubra, in Sydney’s east. You can find her practice at 45 - 47 Green Street, Maroubra NSW 2035. Heather works with people who want to move better and feel more comfortable day to day, whether the pain is new or has been hanging around for a while.
Physiotherapy can help with lots of different issues. In many cases, Heather supports patients dealing with aches and stiffness in the neck, back, shoulders, hips, and knees. She also helps people who have trouble after an injury, like a sports knock, a fall, or an overuse problem from work or everyday tasks.
Sessions often include physical therapy exercises, which are chosen to fit the person’s body and goals. The idea isn’t just to “get through” the appointment. It’s about building strength, improving movement, and helping the body cope better over time.
Heather also uses hands-on treatments. This can include joint mobilization to help restore smooth movement, and soft tissue massage to ease tight muscles and reduce soreness. At times, posture correction is part of the plan too, especially when daily habits or sitting for long periods have started to affect how the body feels.
Every patient is different, so the plan is usually worked out around what’s going on and what feels doable. Some people want help getting back to sport. Others just want to sleep better, stand longer, or do normal chores without paying for it later. Heather keeps things practical and explains things in a clear way, so you know what you’re doing and why.
People often come in after they’ve tried stretching or rest but still feel stuck. Others arrive after medical treatment and want to regain function safely. Heather’s approach is focused on getting you moving well, not pushing you too hard. The goal is steady improvement, with changes that make sense for your daily life.
If you’re not sure whether physiotherapy is the right next step, a chat can help. You can discuss your symptoms, what you can and can’t do at the moment, and what you want to get back to. From there, Heather works with you on a plan that’s calm, realistic, and designed to support progress.
