The Body Mechanics Katong: Multi-Modal Physiotherapy and Rehab

The Body Mechanics is a physiotherapy and rehabilitation clinic based at Katong Square, built around a multi-modal approach to physio care. Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, the team led by Claire Coltman and Mark Song focuses on diagnosing and assessing the root cause of a client's condition, then using the most effective treatments available to resolve pain and dysfunction — and prevent it from coming back.

A Holistic, Individualised Approach

The Body Mechanics subscribes to a holistic methodology for treatment and management, assessing and prescribing care that is tailored to each individual rather than following a one-size-fits-all protocol. The aim is always to build the best plan for each client's specific needs and goals, whether that's recovering from an injury, managing a chronic condition, or building strength to prevent future problems.

What They're Known For

The clinic treats a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions and injuries, including sporting injuries, ACL injuries using cross bracing, and pre- and post-surgical rehabilitation.
