About us.
Our goal at Refined Rehab is to take the fear out of moving when you’re in pain or recovering from a sports injury. Most people we see are told to rest, stretch, or get a massage, yet the problem keeps coming back. We work out why it keeps happening and build a plan to fix it, backed by research and adjusted every session as you improve. Movement is medicine.
Musculoskeletal injury rehabilitation
Acute and chronic joint and muscle pain
Neurological conditions
Chronic disease management
We specialise in exercise-based interventions for:
From sporting injuries, back, shoulder, hip, knee and ankle pain, joint replacements and tendon problems, our aim is to get you pain free.
What we do
An exercise physiologist is a university-trained health professional who treats injuries, pain, and long-term conditions using movement and exercise instead of passive treatment.
We work out why your body keeps breaking down in the same spot and build a program that fixes it, then adjust it every visit as you get stronger.
Most of the people we see come in with shoulder pain, back pain, hip pain, knee pain, or foot and ankle pain. We also see clients after joint replacements, sporting injuries, or tendon problems that will not settle.
Some are tradies, some are retirees, and some train at the gym. What they have in common is pain or an injury that is getting in the way of work, sleep, sport or everyday life.

No matter the age or stage of your exercise journey we can help you achieve meaningful outcomes for whatever your goal may be. NDIS is able to cover the full amount of your Exercise Physiology consultation. It is important to get your coordinator to allocate funding to the category of “Improved Health and Well-being”, “Improved Daily Living” or “Core Supports”.

Common questions
Do I need a referral?
No. You can book directly and pay on the day, or claim on your private health extras.
Is it covered by Medicare?
Yes, with a GP referral on a Chronic Condition Management Plan. Medicare clients receive a rebate on up to 5 sessions per calendar year.
Can I claim on my private health?
Yes, if your extras cover includes exercise physiology. We have HICAPS, so you can claim on the spot.
Where are you?
Shop 8, 157-159 John Street, Singleton NSW 2330.
What happens at the first appointment?
We take your history, watch you move, and test the sore area and anything connected to it. Then we explain what we think is going on. You leave with your rehab exercises and a plan.
Should I see a physio instead?
Not sure who you need? Leave your details and we'll give you a quick call. If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you and point you to someone who is.
Do you treat sporting and gym injuries?
Yes. Sporting, gym and lifting injuries are a big part of what we see: the shoulder that goes every few months, the back that only hurts on deadlifts, the knee that won't settle.
Do you do knee replacement rehab?
Yes. A typical program is 4 sessions over 6 weeks.
