Integrated rehab inside a performance gym

At Complx, physiotherapy is delivered inside a fully equipped training facility. Niall's rehab programs use the same gym floor clients use for personal training — making the transition from treatment to performance seamless.

Treatment Approach

Beyond pain relief.
Back to performance.

Niall's approach goes beyond getting you pain-free. The goal is building the strength, resilience and movement quality to stay injury-free long-term.

Hands-On Treatment
Manual therapy, joint mobilisation and soft tissue work combined with exercise for better, longer-lasting results.
Evidence-Based Rehab
Programs grounded in current clinical evidence. What works for your specific injury and physiology.
Strength Programming
Getting you pain-free is the start. Building the strength to stay that way is the goal.
Education-Driven
Understanding why your injury happened is part of the treatment. Niall gives you the tools to manage your body independently.

Niall - FAQs.

No. You can book a private physiotherapy appointment directly online or through the Complx Health app. Referrals are only required for specific schemes.

Acute and chronic sports injuries, post-operative rehabilitation following orthopaedic surgery, knee, hip, ankle and foot injuries, neck and lower back pain including disc and nerve involvement, and return-to-sport programming.
He also treats general musculoskeletal pain in active people at any level.

Yes. Physiotherapy at Complx Health is HICAPS claimable — claim your rebate on the spot with your private health card. Your rebate depends on your level of extras cover.

Rehab happens inside a fully equipped performance gym rather than a small treatment room, so strength programming is part of your treatment from the start — not something that begins after you’re discharged. Niall works directly with the personal training and myotherapy team, so the work continues between your physio sessions.

It depends on your injury and your goal. Simple soft tissue injuries often settle in a few sessions. Post-surgical rehabilitation runs over months in structured phases. Niall gives you an honest timeframe at your initial assessment and reassesses as you progress.

Yes. Return-to-sport programming is one of his specialties — clear milestones, objective testing and sport-specific conditioning, so you’re discharged on evidence rather than a guess about how you feel.
