Simran Sandhu

Physiotherapist

Primary Location

Northern & Western Suburbs, Melbourne

I am a physiotherapist who enjoys working with people of all ages to help them reduce pain, improve their movement, and get back to doing the things they enjoy in everyday life. I work with children, adults and older people. I support children with developmental and physical challenges, help people recover from muscle and joint injuries, and assist those recovering after road or workplace accidents. I also provide hydrotherapy to help improve strength, balance and confidence in movement. I believe the best outcomes come from working together, taking the time to explain each person's condition in a way they understand, and creating a treatment plan that suits their goals, lifestyle and needs.

What inspired me to become a physiotherapist was the opportunity to make a real difference in people's lives. Growing up, I saw my grandmother struggle with her mobility after multiple falls, and she eventually became bed-bound without access to physiotherapy. Seeing how much this affected her quality of life inspired me to help others stay independent, build their confidence, and continue doing the things that matter most to them.
