If you’ve been searching for a physio near Springwood, Rochedale or anywhere on Brisbane’s southside, you’ve probably noticed that not all clinics are the same. Some focus on a single discipline. Others have long wait times, rushed appointments, or a one-size-fits-all approach to treatment.
At BodyViva, we do things differently. Located in Underwood – right in the heart of Brisbane’s southside – we’re a multi-disciplinary health clinic offering physiotherapy, chiropractic care, remedial massage and more under one roof. Whether you’re dealing with a fresh injury, chronic pain that’s been hanging around for years, or you just want to move and feel better, our team is here to help.
Here’s a look at what we treat, who we help and when it makes sense to book an appointment.

What Does BodyViva Treat?
We see a wide range of conditions at BodyViva. Whether your pain came on suddenly or has been building gradually, our team has the experience and the tools to get to the bottom of it.
Back and Neck Pain
Back pain and neck pain are two of the most common reasons people seek help from a physio, and for good reason – they can affect every part of your day. Whether it’s a sharp pain in your lower back after lifting something awkwardly, or a stiff neck that’s been there so long you’ve forgotten what ‘normal’ feels like, our team can help.
Our physiotherapy and chiropractic services both address spinal pain, and we’ll work out which approach – or combination of approaches – is right for you.
Shoulder, Elbow and Wrist Pain
Upper limb injuries are incredibly common, especially for people who work at a desk, do manual labour or play sport. Rotator cuff problems, tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome and wrist sprains are all conditions we treat regularly at BodyViva.
Our physiotherapists assess your full upper limb mechanics, not just the site of pain, to build a treatment plan that addresses the root cause.
Hip, Knee and Leg Pain
Knee pain, hip pain, ITB syndrome, hamstring strains and shin splints can sideline you from sport, work and the activities you love. These injuries often have a biomechanical component – meaning the way your body moves is contributing to the problem.
At BodyViva, we combine hands-on treatment with targeted exercise rehabilitation to restore strength, movement and confidence in your lower limbs. Our chiropractic team can also assess spinal and pelvic alignment that may be driving pain lower down the chain.
Foot and Ankle Pain
Plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, ankle sprains and general foot pain are conditions we treat every day. If you’re struggling to get through a walk without discomfort, or you’ve rolled your ankle and it never quite recovered, don’t ignore it.
Our practitioners are experienced in foot and ankle rehabilitation, and we can advise on footwear, loading strategies and return-to-activity timelines to get you moving again properly.
Sports Injuries
Whether you play weekend touch footy, train for marathons or compete at a higher level, sports injuries need prompt and expert attention. Delayed or inadequate treatment is one of the biggest reasons injuries become long-term problems.
BodyViva’s team understands sport. We work with athletes of all levels to assess, treat and rehabilitate injuries – and to help you return to your sport safely without rushing back before your body is ready.
Headaches and Migraines
Cervicogenic headaches – those originating from the neck – are very common and often mismanaged. If your headaches seem to be linked to neck stiffness, posture or screen time, physiotherapy and chiropractic care can make a genuine difference.
Our practitioners are trained to identify when a headache has a musculoskeletal cause and to treat it accordingly.
Postural and Workplace Pain
Spending hours at a desk, in a car or on a production floor takes a real toll on your body. Tight hips, a stiff thoracic spine, shoulder tension and headaches are all signs that your body is struggling with the demands being placed on it.
We help patients address the effects of prolonged sitting and repetitive movement through targeted physiotherapy, remedial massage and practical advice about your workspace and daily habits.
Pre and Post-Surgery Rehabilitation
If you’re preparing for surgery or recovering from a procedure, rehabilitation is a critical part of your outcome. Pre-surgery physio can help you go into the operating room stronger and better prepared. Post-surgery rehab helps you regain movement, strength and function as safely and efficiently as possible.
Our physiotherapy team regularly manages surgical rehabilitation for conditions including hip and knee replacements, rotator cuff repairs and spinal procedures.
Pregnancy-Related Pain
Pregnancy places significant demands on your body. Pelvic girdle pain, lower back ache, rib pain and postural changes are all very common – but that doesn’t mean you just have to put up with them.
Our practitioners have experience working with pregnant and post-natal patients and can provide safe, effective treatment throughout all stages of pregnancy and recovery.
Women’s Health
Beyond pregnancy, women’s health encompasses a range of conditions including pelvic floor dysfunction, prolapse, incontinence and post-natal recovery. These issues are often under-discussed, but they are very treatable with the right care.
If you’re not sure where to start, our team can point you in the right direction and ensure you’re seeing the right practitioner for your needs.

When Should You Book an Appointment?
A lot of people put off seeing a physio. They hope the pain will go away on its own, or they’re not sure if their issue is ‘bad enough’ to warrant an appointment. Here’s a straightforward guide to help you decide.
Book sooner rather than later if:
- You’ve had an acute injury – a fall, a roll, a sudden onset of pain – and it hasn’t settled within a few days
- You have pain that’s affecting your sleep, work or daily activities
- You’ve had the same injury or pain pattern come back more than once
- You’re preparing for surgery or have recently had an operation
- Your pain is getting worse, not better
- You have numbness, tingling or weakness alongside your pain
It’s also worth booking if:
- You’ve been ‘managing’ chronic pain for a while and you’re tired of just coping with it
- You want to understand why something keeps happening, not just have it temporarily relieved
- You’re returning to sport after a break or an injury and want to do it safely
- You’re pregnant or post-natal and experiencing pain or pelvic floor concerns
- You just want to move and feel better than you currently do
There’s no need to wait until things are unbearable. In fact, the earlier you seek treatment, the faster most conditions resolve.
