Looking for a physiotherapy role where you can work with active people, develop your clinical skills and take rehabilitation beyond pain relief?

SurfEdge Sports Physiotherapy is a growing, independent physiotherapy clinic in Maroochydore, with a strong focus on sports injuries, musculoskeletal conditions, progressive rehabilitation and return to performance.

We've recently expanded into a dedicated rehabilitation and performance facility, creating an environment where clinical assessment, progressive loading, strength and conditioning and return-to-sport rehabilitation are central to what we do.

We're looking for a physiotherapist who enjoys clinical problem-solving, values evidence-informed practice and wants to build a rewarding career working with active and sporting populations.

Rehabilitation beyond the treatment room

At SurfEdge, rehabilitation doesn't stop when pain settles.

We combine clinical assessment, progressive strength and conditioning, objective testing, running analysis, neurocognitive training and individualised exercise programming to help patients return to the activities and sports that matter to them.

Our expanded rehabilitation facility supports this approach, with access to:

• A dedicated rehabilitation gym with squat racks, functional training equipment, free weights and plyometric equipment
• VALD ForceDecks, ForceFrame and Dynamo for objective strength and performance testing
• SOMA NPT for neurocognitive and performance training
• BridgeAthletic for exercise programming and rehabilitation delivery
• Commercial treadmill and running gait-analysis equipment
• Private consultation rooms and dedicated rehabilitation spaces

You'll have the opportunity to develop your skills across these areas and integrate them into your clinical practice, supported by mentoring and ongoing professional development.

The patients you'll work with

Our caseload includes recreational and competitive athletes, runners, active adults and adolescents, alongside patients recovering from surgery or managing persistent musculoskeletal conditions.

You'll have opportunities to work across:

• Sports and running-related injuries
• Bone stress injuries
• Tendinopathy
• Adolescent sporting injuries
• Post-operative rehabilitation
• Strength and conditioning
• Objective strength and performance testing
• Running assessments and gait analysis
• Return-to-sport rehabilitation

We also deliver ONERO® bone health programs, with opportunities to become involved if this aligns with your interests.

Clinical development and mentoring

We believe good physiotherapy starts with thorough assessment, sound clinical reasoning and rehabilitation tailored to the individual.

You'll work alongside the clinic's principal physiotherapist, who brings over 14 years of clinical experience and an extensive background in sports injury management, exercise rehabilitation and return-to-sport programming.

We offer regular mentoring, case discussions and opportunities to develop your assessment, clinical reasoning and rehabilitation skills.

Whether you're an experienced physiotherapist looking for greater clinical autonomy or an early-career clinician wanting to build strong foundations, we want to support your professional development.

Build a career around your interests

We recognise that physiotherapists have different clinical interests and career goals.

At SurfEdge, you'll have the opportunity to develop your own areas of interest, build professional relationships and become involved in the local sporting community.

This may include working with sporting clubs and athletes, connecting with coaches and other health professionals, contributing to educational initiatives or developing particular areas of clinical expertise.

We encourage initiative and professional growth while providing a collaborative environment where clinical discussion and ongoing learning are part of everyday practice.
