Aura and its suburbs, Baringa, Nirimba, Banya and the established streets of Caloundra West and Little Mountain, are among the fastest-growing communities in Queensland: young families, tradies building the suburbs themselves, and new gyms and sporting clubs filling as fast as they open. Our Knox Avenue clinic is a short drive up Caloundra Road, and it offers something a brand-new area cannot grow overnight: a physiotherapy team that has treated this region since 1992.
What we see from the growth corridor
- Trade and construction injuries, from lifting-related backs to overhead shoulders, including treatment under WorkCover Queensland claims with direct billing on accepted claims
- Gym and CrossFit injuries from the area's new training scene
- Running injuries off Aura's trail network, one of the biggest purpose-built path systems in the country
- Kids' and adolescent sport injuries as the junior clubs boom
- Pregnancy-related and postnatal musculoskeletal pain in a corridor full of young families
Why travel ten minutes when new clinics are opening closer?
Fair question. Our answer is experience you can verify: a team led by Russell Smallwood, practitioners whose special interests cover the exact injuries this corridor produces, close to 100 years of combined clinical experience, and a principal who was lead physiotherapist to the Australian swimming team at two Olympic Games. Check any of our physiotherapists on the Ahpra public register, then decide where your knee deserves to go.
Booking from this side of Caloundra
Call (07) 5221 5254 and reception will match you with the physiotherapist whose special interest fits your problem, from surf injuries to post-surgical rehab. The clinic is at Unit 1, 28 Knox Avenue, Caloundra QLD 4551, with parking at the door.
Do you treat WorkCover injuries from Aura building sites?
Yes, frequently. Get a work capacity certificate from your doctor, lodge the claim, and we bill WorkCover directly once it is accepted. Our WorkCover page walks through the steps.
Are you taking new patients from Baringa and Aura?
Yes. Call the clinic and reception will book you with the physio best matched to your problem.
