regularly throughout the day and evening. The clinic at 9 East Street, Lidcombe is a short distance from Lidcombe Station.

Common Conditions Treated for Sydney Patients
Office work in the Sydney CBD places particular demands on the body. Prolonged sitting, screen time, and work related stress are
associated with a range of musculoskeletal conditions. At Onward Physiotherapy, some of the most common presentations from Sydney
based patients include:
Neck and Back Pain
Neck and back pain are among the most common conditions seen at the clinic. Sitting for long periods, poor workstation setup, and
high workloads can all contribute to persistent neck and back pain that does not resolve on its own. Appointments are long
enough to assess contributing factors properly and build a plan that fits around your work schedule.
TMJ Jaw Pain
TMJ (temporomandibular joint) pain is common in people with physically or mentally demanding jobs. Stress related jaw clenching
and teeth grinding are frequent contributors to jaw pain, headaches, and facial tension. Joshua has additional training in TMJ
assessment and treatment beyond standard physiotherapy qualifications. Initial TMJ appointments are $130 for 45 minutes.
Running Injuries
Sydney has a strong running community. Popular training spots include Barangaroo Reserve, and parkrun events run every Saturday
morning at Pirrama, Sydney Park, Centennial Park, and St Peters. If you are managing a running injury or want a structured
assessment of your running technique, an Individual Running Biomechanical Assessment ($200, 90 minutes) is available. The 3 Week
Running Strength and Injury Prevention Program ($200 for 3 x 75 minute sessions, max 6 people) is suited to runners at any level
preparing for the Sydney Marathon or Hoka Half Marathon.
