Day One Physio

Fantastic experience: Impeccable care and knowledge. Prue was incredibly thorough, explained everything simply, and pinpointed exactly what I’d been feeling and why. Best physio appointment I’ve ever had. Can’t wait to see my running improve and getting help to fix those niggles. Thank you so much Prue!!

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend Prue enough for golf-specific physiotherapy. Her TPI assessment completely opened my eyes to how physical movement limitations impact the swing. Best of all, she collaborates directly with professional coaches to make sure your treatment plan and swing adjustments work in harmony—this is what true holistic medicine is all about.

Fantastic experience: Had an amazing running assessment with Phoebe, learnt so much about my running from, cadence and got some really good tips on how to improve this through some drills and strength exercises! Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Prue is amazing! I have been to so many average physios over the years, she was so knowledgeable, up to date with current research and actually fixed my ankle issues. I genuinely thought my days of running were over, but now I'm back at it thanks to Prue! She is the only physio I would ever reccomend to anyone

Fantastic experience: Prue is exceptional. Her knowledge, her attitude, her innate ability somehow find the cause of my pain in the first session have been phenomenal. And ongoing sessions and exercise plans have been effective, and easy to accomodate into my life and routine. The summary notes and exercises plan / description / how to’s are terrific as well. Can’t recommend her enough.

Fantastic experience: Phoebe was fantastic! Really professional and completely resolved the stiffness I was having in my neck

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend! Prue is super knowledgeable but can still explain things in a way that I could understand. Her focus is on restrengthening rather than quick fixes, and gives excellent gym routines to work on your injury.

Fantastic experience: Phoebe and Prue at DayOne Physio were fantastic. Came in for a sports massage/deep tissue session and you can immediately tell they know what they’re doing. The space has a great energy too — clean, calm and welcoming. First visit but definitely not the last.

Fantastic experience: Love Prue at Day One, professional, comprehensive and conversational. Motivates me to take care of my body. As someone who boxes, boot camps and run Prue is a great coach to ensure optimal physical function and appropriate loading particularly when injured

Fantastic experience: I’ve tried different physios for my knee pain for years and never seen any improvement but Prue has got me running again!! I haven’t ever been good at sticking to recovery programmes but Prue makes it so easy to maintain I’ve recommended her to everyone at work & will continue doing so!

Fantastic experience: The Day One team are great. Prue helped me so much last year to prepare my body for a marathon and to get back to running after an injury. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Prue was great and full of knowledge. Having a gym in the clinic to teach all rehab exercises was invaluable!

They offer fun community events as well!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing Prue at Day One Physio for years and honestly couldn’t recommend her more highly. Prue’s understanding of the body and what actually works is incredible. What I’ve found most valuable is the balance between hands-on treatment and rehab. It’s not just a quick fix, she takes the time to work through what’s going on and gives you the tools to improve it properly. She’s helped me through both acute injuries and ongoing issues, and I always leave feeling clearer on what I need to do next.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing Prue at Day One Physio in Richmond for the past couple of years for a range of different issues, and I honestly couldn’t recommend her more highly. Every time I’ve had a problem, she’s been able to diagnose it quickly and get me back on track. Her breadth of knowledge is seriously impressive, and you can tell she genuinely cares about getting the best outcome for her clients. On top of that, she’s just a really lovely person to deal with. Always approachable, supportive, and happy to help whenever needed. I’ve recommended Prue to friends and family, and they’ve all had great experiences as well. If you’re looking for a physio you can trust, she’s the one to see.

Fantastic experience: As a runner and golfer in my 60s Prue has set me on the path to continually improve. I’m driving the ball further than ever and my 10km running time is well below 45 minutes. Videos of exercises were very helpful and allowed me to continue improving at home. Bravo Prue!

Fantastic experience: I’m Prue’s number one fan! She is truly the best! I spent years struggling with back pain until I met with Prue.

Fantastic experience: Came in and saw Prue about a couple of months ago with some issues. Straight away she knew exactly what the cause was and came up with a program to help fix the issue. Now after a few months down the track of following her program the results have been great. Her knowledge and attention to detail is outstanding, Highly recommend Prue and her team if you have any issues that you need fixed properly and efficiently.

Fantastic experience: Prime was so kind. She understood my issue and I was back running at full capacity in a week. Glad I had such clear programming. I was dealing with this issue for ages.

Fantastic experience: I always thought physios were mostly for elite athletes or people with acute injuries, but I decided to book in with Prue anyway and I’m so glad I did! She immediately understood the types of pain I’d been describing, and picked up on irregularities in how I move that had never been noticeable before. During our session, she not only gave me targeted exercises but demonstrated each one and corrected my form on the spot so I could do them properly at home. Afterwards, she sent a detailed email summarising everything and even offered ad hoc form checks between sessions to help keep up momentum which is extremely generous for someone with her workload. Feeling genuinely excited for the road ahead and very lucky to have found such a great physio!

Fantastic experience: Best in the biz fantastic for runner issues

Simply put, Prue is a healer with a rare and extraordinary touch, an absolute standout in her field.

Fantastic experience: Me and my fiancé are both regulars at Day One Physio. Prue and Phoebe are lifesavers, especially if you’re like me and need regular sports massages or dry needling to help recover after a long race or just big weeks at the gym. They also happen to be incredible humans and going to the physio is always a good moment. Have been recommending them to all my Melbourne friends and will continue!

Fantastic experience: I herniated my back in Dec 2024. Found Prue in Feb 2025, and I’m so lucky I did!!! Prue was so thoughtful with each session and mapped out the perfect road to recovery for me. Not only did Prue help with my back, she helped me fix my form when it comes to running, and lifting weights. We started super basic, and progressed each session slowly to make sure all those small changes and fixes were ingrained into my training going forward. Thanks to Prue, I was able to complete 5km at the Melb Mara within only 10 months of injuring my back. Highly recommend seeing Prue, even if you’re not injured, but just want tips on the correct lifting and running form. Thanks so much!!!

Prue spent the time to educate me with ongoing rehabilitation techniques and I haven't had any pain in my knee for almost a year!

Fantastic experience: Prue is an unbelievable practitioner, I felt so welcomed from the moment I walked in.

Fantastic experience: Amazing practice and facility! My partner was recovering from a knee injury/surgery and Prue was so helpful, patient and supportive of my partner, and also gave me time and space as a carer to observe and ask questions. The at-home 'knee-hab' exercises she prescribed were also really helpful and looked easy enough to be self-managed from our lounge room between appointment. And now he's back to the gym and making good progress. Would highly recommend Day One Physio!
