Led by Director and Senior Physiotherapist Mitchell Seri, who grew up in Ingham, along with physiotherapists Sonya Bell and Jacob Spiteri, the clinic continues to evolve and expand its services to suit the needs of the local population.

Their physiotherapy services in this area aim to support women dealing with urinary urgency, bladder and bowel dysfunction, vaginal discomfort, and pelvic organ prolapse, among other concerns. By addressing these sensitive but common issues, the clinic empowers women to regain confidence and comfort in their daily lives.
Additional specialised services include core strengthening (drawing on Pilates principles), and the clinic is also registered to provide support under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).
Performance Physio Group Ingham is committed to providing professional, personalised care to help every patient live a more active and fulfilling life. Their team remains up to date with the latest treatments and best practices in the field, ensuring residents have access to quality physiotherapy close to home.
