Tried everything for your pain… but nothing has worked? 😔

At Alive Physio & Wellness, we take a different approach.

You’re not just seeing a physiotherapist — you’re seeing a Fascial Counterstrain practitioner, trained to work with your fascia, nervous system, and whole body patterns.

Many people with chronic or persistent pain haven’t found relief because their treatment only looks at symptoms. We focus on the why behind your pain helping your body release tension and move more freely.

💡 All our appointments are 45 minutes, hands-on, and tailored entirely to you.
No rushing. No heat packs while we treat someone else. Just focused care that works.

If you’ve tried multiple treatments and still feel stuck, it might be time for a different approach.

📍 Book with Nad Perera, Victoria’s only Fascial Counterstrain-trained physiotherapist.

Many people try to stretch harder, strengthen more, or push through discomfort.

But if your nervous system is stuck in protection mode, force won’t create freedom.

Nervous system regulation is the missing piece in many chronic pain and recovery journeys.

At Alive Physio & Wellness, we use Fascial Counterstrain alongside movement, yoga, meditation and massage to support true neurowellness — helping your body shift from survival mode into safety.

If you’ve been feeling wired, tense, or stuck in persistent discomfort, this may be your sign to approach healing differently.

Book your session and experience the reset your body has been asking for.

There’s a reason fascia is getting attention.

For years, it was overlooked. Now we know it plays a significant role in pain, movement, and nervous system regulation.

At Alive Physio & Wellness, we incorporate Fascial Counterstrain as part of a holistic physiotherapy approach, especially for people experiencing persistent pain or patterns that haven’t resolved with traditional methods.

Looking for something a little different this Valentine’s Day?

Instead of the usual flowers or dinner out, gift yourselves a shared experience of connection, presence, and deep relaxation. Join us for a Meditation & Sound Healing experience designed especially for couples, a chance to slow down, breathe together, and reconnect in a meaningful way.

This intimate workshop combines guided meditation with the soothing vibrations of sound healing, creating space to rest the nervous system, open the heart, and simply be together without distractions or expectations.

With only 4 couples (8 spots) available, this is a small, nurturing experience where you’ll feel truly held and supported.

Spaces are very limited, so bookings are essential.
We’d love to share this special morning with you and your partner.

Sometimes we forget that the body and mind are always talking to each other. When life feels overwhelming, the mind starts racing faster than the heart can keep up, especially at this busy time of year.

But a simple pause can change everything.
Place your hand on your heart.
Take five slow breaths.
Tell your nervous system, “You can rest now.”

This gentle self-touch activates the parasympathetic nervous system, releases oxytocin, and reminds your whole being that you are safe, supported, and loved. Peace is already within you and it’s always just one slow breath away. ✨❤️

Join Us in Supporting Our Local Community 🎄🎁

For the past three years, we’ve placed a basket under our Christmas tree and invited our wonderful team and clients to donate dry goods which we’ve then shared with local charities. 💛

In previous years, we’ve supported the Surrey Hills Community Pantry, Swell Community Pantry (Hawthorn), and Empower Australia. This year, we’re collecting for It’s the Little Things Community in Hawthorn, an incredible group that provides home style meals for vulnerable community and supports other charities too. 🍲✨

They’re always in need of specific pantry items to continue their amazing community work. So, next time you’re visiting the clinic for an appointment or attending a class, we’d love for you to bring along an item from the list to add to our basket if you wish. 🎁💫

Please bring your donation by Tuesday, 16th December. Our clinic will be closed from 23rd December and will reopen on 12th January.

Together, let’s make a little difference in our community this Christmas. ❤️

🎉 We had so much to celebrate over the weekend! 🎉

It was our physio Nad’s birthday, he completed three weekends of intense Fascial Counterstrain training, and we marked over 20 years in the health industry, including 18 years of running our own private practice, from humble beginnings in Canberra to our practice here in Hawthorn.

We’re also so proud that Nad is the only physiotherapist in Victoria trained and specialising in Fascial Counterstrain — a huge milestone! 👏

What an incredible journey it’s been. We’re deeply grateful to all our past and present team members, and to our amazing clients who continue to trust in the work we do and share in our vision of holistic care.

Here’s to continued learning, growth, and helping more people live with ease, move with freedom, and feel well from the inside out. 💫

Our Story

Created by husband and wife team, our journey started in 2007. It was a memorable year for us. We had our first child and we started running a home-based Physiotherapy practice in Jerrabomberra, Canberra. With our commitment to providing a high standard of patient care, we believed in empowering patients to achieve wellness, rather than just dealing with episodes of pain.

Nad always looked past the symptoms presented and looked at the bigger picture of what is going on in the patients' whole body. This philosophy together with his unique treatment style and patient education meant we had no choice but to expand the business into a commercial premise in 2012 with other physiotherapists and complementary practitioners. After running a successful practice for 9 years, we closed the business in 2016. However, Nad continues to travel to Canberra once a month to look after his patients.

Alive Physio and Wellness was born in 2014 with our relocation to Melbourne. We are excited to share our knowledge with our patients and continue to strive to provide 'best practice' in physiotherapy.
