From humble beginnings in Chipping Norton
The Activ Therapy story begins in 2012 where a Physiotherapist, a Chiropractor and an Exercise Physiologist saw a major problem in the private practice model…
Bringing together 30+ years of combined experience in Allied Health, Activ Therapy was launched as a small practice in Chipping Norton by Exercise Physiologist Andrew, Chiropractor Jimmy and Physiotherapist Richard.
What they had been seeing was “old-school” Physiotherapy services offering nothing but machines and a few generic exercises, or Chiropractic treatment which consisted of a massage and 5 minutes of adjustments. Although there were powerful benefits of each profession, the results were slow and, in most cases, only offered short-lasting relief.

The Activ Therapy Signature solution
Frustrated by the slow and short-lived results from the traditional approach, Richard and Andrew co-created a new and innovative approach to revolutionise the private practice sector.
Their goal was to find the most effective treatment approaches in order to deliver the best possible results in each and every case.
And thus the Activ Signature System was created
The Activ Signature System was created around 3 key beliefs:
1. Find the True Cause of the pain
2. Use Hands-On Techniques to achieve fast improvements in pain and function
3. Strengthen the affected areas using specific exercises to achieve long term results
By adopting the new integrated and multidisciplinary approach to treatment, they were able to provide the best health solutions and answered the big questions that many patients had.
In their first year, they were seeing hundreds of patients who were sick of the old traditional approach. Before long, they outgrew their Chipping Norton location and opened up Moorebank, Liverpool and Casula locations in quick succession.
These 3 simple but crucial elements have been the cornerstones of their treatment ever since.

The Activ Therapy Growth Pathway
The early success of Activ Therapy led to rapid growth in both number of clinic locations and also practitioners. It wasn’t long until our small team of therapists grew to over 10.
Drawing from his own experiences as a young therapist where he moved from job to job to figure out his direction in Physiotherapy, Richard came to understand the power of mentorship and professional development for Physiotherapists and Chiropractors.
The Activ Therapy Growth Pathway was developed to ensure that young therapists were given a structured pathway in clinical practice, from a newly-graduated therapist to becoming managers, partners and owners. Through this Pathway, we have nurtured over 15 young clinicians, some even becoming partners in Activ Therapy clinics and outright owners in their own practices.
