For All Physio Needs

February 25, 2025

Performance Physio Group in Ingham opened fulltime in 2016 and since then has been offering expert physiotherapy and care for the Hinchinbrook community.

Performance Physio Group covers a wide range of musculoskeletal treatments, post-surgical rehabilitation, and sports injury management. Mitchell Seri, the clinic's Director and Senior Physio grew up in Ingham, and has been steadily expanding its services to meet the diverse needs of the community.

The clinic offers treatment for general musculoskeletal injuries, including neck, back, shoulder, and ankle issues, as well as rehabilitation for patients recovering from joint replacements and reconstructions. Workplace injury management is also a key focus, ensuring individuals can return to their jobs safely and effectively. Additionally, the clinic provides mobile services for elderly patients who may not have the means to travel, as well as pre-employment screenings for seasonal workers and mining companies.

A key area the clinic aims to expand is women’s health, with one of the physiotherapists specialising in this field. Mitchell said it’s something that a lot of women could use and he looks forward to developing it within the region. Plans are in place to highlight these services in the future to raise awareness of their benefits.

Continuous learning is an essential aspect of physiotherapy, with professionals required to complete 20 hours of professional development each year to stay up to date with the latest medical advancements.

“The medical field is always moving, it's always moving forward with new advancements. So, it's important that you stay up to date with the latest treatments,” said Mitchell.

Mitchell also noted that his favourite part about being a physio is guiding patients through their therapy, and seeing them make a full recovery.

“We are getting people's lives back on track in terms of returning to work or returning to sport,” he said.

“To get to guide that person not only through the physical but with emotional stuff too,
people can get quite down about their situation from an injury, and to see the progress both physically and mentally through that process, it's pretty rewarding.”

With a commitment to high-quality care and community well-being, the clinic continues to expand its services, ensuring that residents of Ingham have access to expert physiotherapy treatments tailored to their needs.
