Michelle Duong is a physiotherapist based in Thornbury, in Melbourne’s north. You’ll find her practice at 732 High Street, Thornbury VIC 3071. Michelle focuses on practical, hands-on physical therapy and simple plans you can actually fit into your week.
In many cases, people come in because they’re dealing with pain or stiffness that’s getting in the way of daily life. This can be from everyday wear and tear, a work-related ache, or an injury that just won’t settle down. Others are looking for help after getting back into sport, starting exercise again, or improving how they move without discomfort.
Michelle works with patients who need a clear starting point. She runs physical therapy sessions that look at what’s happening in the body, not just where the pain feels like it is. A big part of the first visits is a mobility assessment, so the plan is based on your movement and what you can and can’t do comfortably right now.
From there, she supports patients with exercise programs and pain management techniques. The goal isn’t to overwhelm you. It’s more about building strength, improving movement, and helping your body cope better over time. At times, that means learning small changes you can do at home, along with the right guidance during appointments so you don’t guess.
Mobility and function are often connected. If you’ve been compensating for weeks or months, everything can feel a bit “off”. Michelle helps people work through that in a steady way—focusing on how you walk, how you bend, and how different joints handle everyday tasks.
Sessions are designed to be calm and grounded. No big promises, no rushed decisions. Just a plan that makes sense, reviewed as you go, and adjusted when your body changes. If you want physiotherapy that stays practical and focused on real movement, Michelle is there to help.
Michelle Duong is available in Thornbury for physical therapy sessions, exercise programs, pain management techniques, and mobility assessments.
