Why Choose Bodyfocus Physiotherapy In Rhodes
Our elite group of health professionals establish a relationship built on trust with every patient and work with you to find a solution to the challenges you face. Restoration of function is the key objective — to get you back to doing the things you love.
Our key to success is our individualised hands-on approach to both rehabilitation and exercise prescription, to help injured and healthy athletes alike. By the conclusion of your rehabilitation program, you will have the strength needed to safely resume your regular activities, as well as the knowledge of self-rehabilitation techniques to minimise the risks of re-injury.
We have been proudly servicing the Rhodes community as well as the surrounding communities of Liberty Grove, Newington, Meadowbank, Concord, Concord West, Ryde and Putney since 2005.
Our Vision
To be a trusted leader in personalised physiotherapy care, helping people move with confidence, recover fully, and live with less pain. We aim to deliver evidence-based treatment with genuine care, supporting long-term health, strength, and wellbeing in our community.
Who We Treat

We also love treating anybody who wants to overcome their pain or injury. Building off our broad base of experience, your rehab program will be tailored specifically to you and your individual goals. Our mission is to help restore your prior level of function whether you are post-operative, a weekend-warrior or a professional athlete.

Meet Gary – Accredited Massage Therapist
Gary Ng is the founder of Syntony Bodywork, an independent structural therapy clinic based within our shared space. He works with professionals, athletes, and busy parents who are dealing with chronic tension, postural strain, and stress-related discomfort.
Gary’s clinical approach is grounded in a simple principle: a stressed body cannot be forced to relax. Rather than starting with deep pressure, he focuses first on calming the nervous system, helping the body shift out of “fight or flight” mode. Once the body is at ease and muscles stop guarding, Gary applies precise, targeted techniques to release tension, improve posture, and restore natural alignment.
Whether you’re experiencing tech neck, persistent lower back discomfort, or simply feel physically run down, Gary’s goal is to help you move more freely, feel lighter, and function at your best.
Services Provided by Syntony Bodywork:
- Structural Alignment (60 mins) – $120
A full-body session focused on postural correction and deep tissue release. - Systemic Reset (90 mins) – $200
A comprehensive session designed to calm the nervous system and support full-body restoration.

What makes Bodyfocus Physiotherapy Service Different?
Our elite group of health professionals establish a relationship built on trust with every patient and work with you to find a solution to the challenges you face. Restoration of function is the key objective — to get you back to doing the things you love. Its professional care delivered with personal empathy.
A Bodyfocus Physiotherapist’s goal is to break the cycle of injury to prevent future re-injury. It’s a comprehensive, evidence-based approach. You’ll receive quality one-on-one time with true experts in the musculoskeletal field. Often times it can be a collaborative effort between your Bodyfocus Physiotherapist and other health professionals – they do whatever is necessary to get you on the quickest path to recovery.
They are focused on targeting & eliminating the root cause of your pain or injury, not simply addressing the symptoms. This approach is built on a treatment process developed by industry-leading healthcare professionals and proven through years of evidence-based research. The approach is comprised of direct engagement with injured tissues through mechanical stimuli and manual interventions to initiate tissue re-modelling—turning movement into tissue healing. Movement is health.
