Specialized Expertise and Root Cause Analysis
Movement Mechanics Newington distinguishes itself by moving beyond superficial symptom relief to address the underlying causes of physical dysfunction. Patients frequently highlight the clinical depth of practitioners like Mintae and Paul, who utilize detailed assessments to understand biomechanics and injury etiology rather than relying on repetitive, temporary fixes. This approach focuses on restoring full body movement and function, making it particularly effective for complex cases where previous treatments have failed.
- Diagnostic Depth: Therapists are praised for identifying the "root cause" of pain, providing clear explanations of body mechanics in layman's terms.
- Targeted Treatment: The team applies specific techniques such as dry needling, cupping, and manipulative therapy to address muscle imbalances and joint issues.

Fantastic experience: I've seen a variety of specialists over a decade for my muscle and joint issues and Mintae is by far the best. He's treated me for over a year at both Newington and North Ryde locations. Would highly recommend him to anyone who's after chiropractic care.
Thank you Stuart! You're support and trust in us drives us to be better everyday :)
Fantastic experience: Paul helped with treatement for my injury. His guidance and clear plan accelerated my recovery and restored function. I highly recomend their services.
Thank you for trusting us and for your review of Paul!
Fantastic experience: The expertise, professionalism and work ethic of the team here are exceptional.
Fantastic experience: I started seeing Mintae several years ago when I was struggling with severe post-partum pelvic girdle pain. At the time, even sitting was incredibly painful. Thanks to Mintae’s expertise and care, I experienced significant relief within just a few sessions and was soon able to sit and move comfortably again. Since then, I’ve taken up running and encountered new challenges, including hip and knee pain. Mintae’s deep knowledge of sports injuries and pain management was instrumental in helping me overcome these issues and successfully complete my first 10km race—pain-free. What sets Mintae apart is not just his clinical skill, but his genuine care and passion for helping his clients achieve their goals. He provides practical, effective strengthening exercises that are easy to incorporate into a busy schedule—something I truly value as a mum. I’ve seen many professionals over the years, and it’s rare to find someone as dedicated and effective as Mintae. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
Thank you Josephina!
Your determination and drive to reach your goals helps motivates us to help as best we can!! Keep on fighting the good fight!
Fantastic experience: I came to see Paul for headaches and neck pain, and I’m so glad I did! He took the time to thoroughly assess my condition and quickly identified the root of the problem. His treatment approach was thoughtful, tailored, and genuinely effective—I was back to my normal life much sooner than I expected. What really stood out was how much he genuinely cared about my recovery. He spent time to figure out what my body needed. Each session felt comfortable, supportive, and even motivating. I left not only feeling better but also inspired to maintain a healthier lifestyle. Highly recommend!
Thank you Anne! I'm glad you came in and gave us the chance to help. Thank you so much for the support!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing Paul for a few months now after a friend recommended him. I first went to him with a knee injury that stopped me from running my first marathon, and I’m really happy to say that with Paul’s help, I’ve just finished that first marathon without any issues. From day 1 Paul has been really patient and empathetic, taking the time to listen and explain what’s going on. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a great physio.
You've killed it Danly! Thanks for trusting us with your injury woes
Fantastic experience: I have used Paul multiple times for multiple sporting injuries. I cannot recommend Paul and Movement Mechanics highly enough. He is very knowledgeable and put me on the road to recovery very quickly. I was most impressed by Paul when I had multiple surgeons look at an issue I had with no solutions. When I saw Paul, he diagnosed it in one session and put a road map to work through. If you want to see someone who is very professional, knowledgeable and a nice guy, I would recommend Movement Mechanics as I have always been put on the road to recovery quickly with them.
Thank you for the great review Lindsay! I'm sure the purple patch is up ahead!
Fantastic experience: It was incredible for me. I have visited the chiropractor, physical therapy, acupuncture, oriental medicine clinic, or orthopedic clinic for years due to back, neck, and shoulder pain. However, now I feel like I have met a proper doctor. Thanks to the pain relief treatment and the rehabilitation exercise that he taught me, I can now stand upright on my two feet, and my movements in both arms have improved. Thank you, Mr. Min Tae Kim. Good luck
So glad to hear how much of a difference Mintae has made. Keep up the good work and thank you for the review!
Fantastic experience: Mintae showed excellenet professionalism in the way that he not only treated my back pain but also addressed the root cause of it. He then proceeded to advise me on a plan of action to resolve the issue which has helped immensely in ensuring that the pain does not keep coming back. Highly recommend their services for anyone that has nagging issues with mobility and movement that has had treatments done with no correction.
Happy to hear you're feeling good and moving good! Thank you for the review!
Fantastic experience: Been to many chiropractors due to sporting injuries and rehab, but there’s none that come close to movement mechanics when it comes to professionalism and quality service. Mintae always displays strong expertise by figuring out why the injury has occurred in the first place and treats various areas of the body which have weakened leading to the injury. A complete focus on getting the entire body movement restored and functioning rather than a simple quick massage and temporary pain relief which most other chiropractors have done. Highly recommend!
Thanks for your review Daniel! Glad Mintae was able to help!
Fantastic experience: This is the place to go if you want precise and detailed treatment. Less talk more hands on! Highly recommend
Thanks for trusting the boys with your injuries Jay!
Fantastic experience: I dont see him as often as others because he fixes my injuries long term, and thats what its all about! Instant relief and fixes the root cause. Highly reccomend Mintae and team!!
Spot on! That's what it's about Jonathan! Thanks for the review
Fantastic experience: The best place to get rid of pain in your body. I had an exceptional experience with Min. Highly recommend for anyone seeking effective, compassionate treatment.
Great to hear your great experience with Mintae, Ashish!
Fantastic experience: Both boys here have treated my family and I and we couldn't be happier. From my ACL reconstruction, rotator cuff, neck and back pains, sprained ankles; the boys have done an awesome job. There's no part of the body they don't know how to fix and I'd recommend them to anyone. Great, friendly service and always a pleasure to go back even if it's just to say hi and get a neck adjustment.
Thanks for trusting us with you and your family!
Fantastic experience: Excellent!! Best Chiropractor in Sydney
Thanks for the kind words Andy :)
Fantastic experience: Paul has been instrumental with my recovery from ACL reconstruction surgery. Without his help I would not have recovered at top speed. I was fully functional at 7months when the recovery period was 12months! Highly recommend movement mechanics team
Thanks Sue! Happy you trusted us to help you with your knee :)
Fantastic experience: Mintae has been treating me for a while. Since then neck pain, shoulder pain and migraines have significantly improved. I cannot recommend highly enough.
Thank you for the review In Hee, glad to help!
Fantastic experience: Great communication on cause & effect, and rehabilitation run through. Recommend!!
Understanding is key! Thanks for trusting us with your rehab
Fantastic experience: Having been coming here a few times from a range back and neck issues stemming from the gym, i found Paul to be extremly knowledgable and helpful. I would hands down recommend a visit. I plan on continuing getting treatment from Paul for injury prevention.
Thanks for the review. Nothing more important than doing what you love and staying healthy
Fantastic experience: I started receiving physiotherapy from Paul Yu at this studio since 2022. Paul has always been warm and professional, and also very skilful with the trigger point technique. In addition to the high quality care I have received, I have picked up various exercise movements to manage issues : )
Hi Ashley! Thank you for your review! Glad we can help you get through the grind of day-to-day living and your exercise passions
Fantastic experience: I've been a patient of Mintae and Paul for 8+ years and they are true professional in their field. I've been to countless physios, chiros and even podiatrists before Movement, so I can compare the difference in service and care they provide. Movement don't just treat my injuries but will thoroughly discuss the root cause and other problems my injuries may lead to. I've referred all of my family and friends to Movement with no hesitation. Thanks Mintae and Paul!
Thanks for your kind words Pat! And more importantly, thank you for trusting us and with your loved ones.
Fantastic experience: I am a man of many problems. Luckily i’ve met the man of many solutions. Thank you for your expertise and enthusiasm Paul. Paul has taught me not only how to fix the pain, but how to maintain the fixed body through various exercises that are possible to do in everyday life - just like a mechanic. Thank you for improving my life Paul!
Thank you for the kind words! Paul loves what he does and loves to hear that he's made a difference. I'm sure this will motivate him to continue his work
Fantastic experience: Big thanks to Paul for his help with fixing my shoulder and chest pain I had been struggling with for many months. Really patient and thorough with his approach and great understanding and explanation of exercises and where muscle imbalances can come from Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: I started seeing Mintae 6 weeks ago. All I can say, he did a great job. My pains have decreased and the headache I was experiencing nearly every day is over now. Highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: 11/10 Mintae is incredible! Fixed a back and jaw problem I had for 10+ years THE BEST PRACTITIONER I HAVE EVER SEEN! Highly highly recommend, the man can fix anything Definitely see him! Incredible practitioner!
Fantastic experience: I have gone to so many different practices before and this has got to be my favourite. Alan provided extraordinary service from cupping to dry needling and massaging - I had a wonderful experience.
Fantastic experience: P. Sherman is the best dentist he got a beautiful aquarium too
Fantastic experience: Also does dentistry.
Fantastic experience: P Sherman works here and he's chill
Fantastic experience: Mintae is extremely friendly and knowledgable. I love that he involves you in the treatment process, explaining what he's doing and why in layman’s terms.
Fantastic experience: Mintae and his team at Movement Mechanics are exceptional. Different from other physios and chiros out there as they always want to delve into why the injury has occurred. Always gives practical treatment on how to prevent it in the future and aim to steer away from being injury prone.
Fantastic experience: Achieved more in one session with Dr Mintae Kim than months and months across many years with other chiropractors who follow an archaic method of cracking and booking you in the next week for 15 mins just to do the same crack which is completed in less than 5 mins. Dinosaur chiropractors love the buzz word "holistic treatment" but you genuinely get that plus care with Dr Kim. I'm really looking forward to the process of addressing my ongoing problems with Dr Kim.
Fantastic experience: I'd like to recommend Paul because he has helped me many times with pain on joints and muscle. I've been to many physio in the past because I'm very active, but i wasn't able to get his level of service elsewhere.
Fantastic experience: I've been seeing Paul for my patella dislocation and knee pain due to sport. (I couldn't walk nor jog without pain and lack of confidence) Paul has not only treated my knee from the injury but has taught me how important each part of my body is in making it possible for my movement to be correct and prevent future injures. I've learnt so much about my own movements and mechanics from Paul and have been surprised several times with many small things I didn't realise about my body. I highly recommend seeing Paul if you have any reoccurring injuries or pain that has to do with your body. The man will not only fix it but teach you why and what to change.
Fantastic experience: I've seen Mintae for sometime now. Consistently goes above and beyond to ensure my body moves as it should. The consistent training of olympic weightlifting presents some unique challenges to treat. Would not hesitate to recommend Mintae to anyone whether you've got something as small as a sore elbow or have had chronic knee issues for years.
Fantastic experience: I’d absolutely recommend Movement Mechanics to anyone in need of rehab or treatment. I’ve seen other physios and chiros in the past, but nothing’s come close to the level of service and treatment I’ve received here. From diagnosis through to rehab exercises, Mintae is very thorough and meticulous in his approach. The treatments have always worked like magic. Do yourself a favour and see these guys if you’re sore or injured!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommended! Mintae was not only professional and informative, he was also educational and took the time to explain the mechanics of the body to highlight what the root cause of pain was. I felt genuinely cared for and will definitely be visiting again.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend! I have been seeing Dr Mintae for years now, he is very professional and knowledgeable, providing excellent service every visit. Would give 6 stars if I could!
Fantastic experience: I started seeing Paul early in 2021 for some minor tuning before a triathlon. From then on we certainly opened up into a vast assortment of movements from running to a barbell overhead squat. Paul has a robust knowledge of not only treating but enhancing the performance of his client. He always has time to watch my training videos and always provide sound feedback on what part of the movement can be improved. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to return to sport or work or just to improve performance in the gym or their sport.
Fantastic experience: I can confidently and highly recommend Dr Mintae. Felt very comfortable being treated and open as I could really see I was being genuinely cared for. He explains in simple terms to what was causing my discomfort and ways to prevent and rehab! The clinic itself is very comfortable and really portrays Mintae and his teams passion. Highly recommend! Genuine clinic set up to truly help the patient and not to feed their pockets!
Fantastic experience: I felt like i was being genuinely cared for. I was able to source the cause of the pain and was given very clear and detailed instructions on follow up exercises to do as a preventive measure. although this was only my first visit, I actually feel so much better now. Life changing experience from the best. Look forward to seeing Dr Mintae again!
Fantastic experience: Small physio setup in Newington however, very professional and provide a high level of service. Paul has helped with recover and rehabilitation for a number of injuries from Oztag and Futsal. He has a wide range of skills that have helped provide effective treatment for injuries to shoulders, ankle and knees. Have received dry needling, adjustment and manipulative therapy, and cupping.
Fantastic experience: Paul was fantastic! He really helped me get back to playing basketball after I sprained my knee. He showed me some good exercises to do at home and made me feel extremely comfortable all throughout treatment. I have already recommended Paul to my family and friends for all their physio needs! Thanks to the movement mechanics team you guys are great!
Fantastic experience: Mintae had great knowledge and understanding the biomechanics of the body. His initial assessment was great and easy to understand the rationale behind his treatment methods.
Fantastic experience: I've been seeing Mintae for the past 2 years. He's very friendly and professional at the same time. He knows how to help with your pain. Would recommend!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Mante Kim at the clinic is amazing. I have been going to chiropractors for years. Instead of just cracking bones and making me feel good for the day, only to have the pain return the following day, Mante also worked on my muscles and showed me how to prevent the problem from happening again by addressing the cause and working on fixing the cause. My knee and hip feel great and I feel like I am 10 years younger!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Mintae was very professional and helped relieve my lower back and knee pain. He was very knowledgeable was able to diagnose the problem and suggested solutions going forward. Will be definitely going back frequently.
Fantastic experience: DR Allan has provided me with chiropractor services for 5 years and I would highly recommend him as he never fails to help with my injuries and physical recovery. Service is always great, staff are always friendly and I expect nothing less than greatness whenever I have an appointment.
Fantastic experience: Got treated by Dr Allen Kim for my shoulder pain. He was very thorough in explaining the cause of my pain and helped me with exercise to strengthen the muscle.
