Read the full storySince opening its doors full-time in Ingham 2016, Performance Physio Group in Ingham has become a cornerstone of physiotherapy care for the Hinchinbrook community. The clinic provides a broad range of services, from musculoskeletal treatment and sports injury management to aged care. With a strong focus on active rehabilitation and preventative care, their team works closely with patients to support recovery, improve mobility, and enhance quality of life.
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. Whether it's post-operative orthopaedic rehabilitation, workplace injury management, or exercise physiology, Performance Physio Group Ingham offers tailored treatment options across all ages and fitness levels.
A standout area of development at the clinic is women’s health support with specialist Sonya Bell. Many women experience conditions such as stress incontinence, pelvic pain, or symptoms following childbirth or menopause, yet may not seek treatment. Performance Physio Group Ingham is working to change that. 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.
