Physiotherapy care in Prahran, focused on long-term movement health
At Sum of Us Studio, physiotherapy is centred around one core principle: movement is fundamental to health and wellbeing.
Our physiotherapists work to help you move comfortably, recover from injury and improve how your body functions over the long term. Rather than simply treating symptoms, we focus on understanding the underlying factors influencing pain, mobility and performance.
Located at 602 High St, Prahran, our studio supports clients across Melbourne’s inner south including Prahran, Windsor, South Yarra, Armadale, Toorak, Malvern, Glen Iris and Caulfield.
Whether you’re managing pain, recovering from surgery, preparing for sport or improving your overall movement, our physiotherapy team provides evidence-based care tailored to your individual needs.
Physiotherapy Focused on How Your Body Moves
At Sum of Us Studio, physiotherapy begins with understanding how your body moves as a system.
Pain and injury rarely occur in isolation. They often develop because of movement patterns, strength imbalances, mobility restrictions or previous injuries.
By identifying the underlying contributors to pain or dysfunction, we can guide treatment that supports both short-term relief and long-term movement health.
A Holistic Approach to Physiotherapy Care
All physiotherapy at Sum of Us Studio is delivered by experienced practitioners trained in comprehensive assessment and evidence-based treatment.
We work with a wide range of clients including:
- people experiencing everyday aches, stiffness or discomfort
- individuals recovering from injury or surgery
- people returning to sport or physical activity
- clients seeking to improve strength, posture and movement quality
Every treatment plan is personalised, taking into account your goals, lifestyle and physical capacity.
Treatment may include:
- Hands-on physiotherapy and manual therapy
- Remedial massage and soft tissue therapy
- Targeted rehabilitation exercises
- Movement retraining and posture correction
- Strength and conditioning programs
- Injury prevention strategies
- Education and self-management techniques
- Video movement analysis where appropriate
This integrated approach helps clients recover effectively while building resilience against future injuries.

What Our Physio Clients Are Saying
Last week I had a bad back spasm that left me struggling to move and in a lot of discomfort. I reached out to Chris at Sum of Us in Prahran, where Darcy looked after me, and the care was excellent. They quickly worked out what was going on and treated it with real professionalism. Thanks to their help, I'm back on my feet and feeling good again. Highly recommend Chris, Darcy, and the Sum of Us team if you need help getting moving again.

I have been visiting Sum of Us before and since getting cancer. The care and attention I have received from the physiotherapists has left me feeling enthused and positive.
Tracey - Google Review - 5 stars
Had an incredible physio session at Sum of Us. I felt genuinely listened to and cared for. My physiotherapist Emily took the time to understand my concerns and tailored the session to exactly what my body needed. The space itself is calm, clean, and beautifully designed. I left feeling informed, supported, and so much better than when I walked in.
