DiY is individual 1:1 treatment for Chronic/Complex Back and Neck pain, Sports Injuries and Orthapaedic rehabilitation from a very experienced Physiotherapist delivered in a bespoke clinic in the Sydney suburb of Kensington. Every initial consultation is for a minimum of 1 hour.

At DiY we have a particular interest in back and neck pain sufferers who still have pain despite numerous treatments from a number of therapists. These more troublesome and chronic conditions require a more holistic view and some real experience.
After working with elite athletes and weekend warriors and with many years of on-field injury management in some of the toughest games in men’s and women’s sport, DiY Physiotherapy provides high level professional injury management. We can then deliver a rehabilitation process that matches your level, your motivation and your lifestyle.
I have personally undergone Knee Replacement Surgery and Hip Replacement Surgery. I now see many pre-op and post-op joint replacement clients and work with Sydneys top orthopaedic surgery teams to achieve optimal post op rehabilitation.
“Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will” – Mahatma Ghandi
At DiY Physiotherapy I choose to do things differently because I know that, given the choice, most people want to take an active role in their own healing. I also know that genuinely good therapy does three things:
DiY Physiotherapy is for those people who value knowledge and self empowerment and who want to be a significant partner in their own healing
DiY Physiotherapy is the culmination of over 30 years of clinical experience. I opened my first one-man clinic in South Coogee in Sydneys Eastern Suburbs in 1990. Within 4 years that clinic was the largest independent integrated physical health clinic in Sydneys East. Over the next few years I established and ran 8 clinics and health businesses and employed and trained over 200 staff. I now bring all that experience, expertise and wisdom back to where it all started – in the clinic, one-to-one with each individual client and taking the time to fully understand the issues in each case.
Professionally I have a wealth of experience with sporting injuries and teams.
These include:
Randwick Rugby
St George FC, Apia Leichardt FC, Easts FC, Pagewood Botany FC, Inter Lions FC
Randwick Netball Association
East Sydney AFL
Moore Park Rugby League
South Maroubra Surf Life Saving Club
I have a particular interest in complex back and neck pain I am one of the very few Credentialled McKenzie practitioners in Australia.

Personalised service and long term results, will return when my back needs readjustingPosted on Google Clarice Sam-YueTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve seen a lot of physios, as an elite athlete. Brendan is the best! Brendan’s approach is practical and effective! He solved 3 issues I had over a few weeks and ensured I was in great shape to keep training and compete. He’s super friendly and always has a fascinating story to share. Here’s hoping he never retires so I never have to find another physio.Posted on Google Taylor KennedyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great physio!Posted on Google Emma TkalcevicTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After many years I can finally run and exercise again, thanks to Brendan!! For over 5 years I have suffered from some sort of ‘cervogenic’, exertional dizziness, where as an otherwise very fit and healthy young female, there were days I couldn’t jog further than 500m without feeling ill. I was sent around the healthcare sector, seeing all different professionals and had all tests under the sun. None who could identify my presentation. My only light at the end of the tunnel was a physio in the past that was able to identify a strange reaction with my cervical spine, but neither her or her colleges had the knowledge to help me further- I was then referred in the wrong direction. After another few years of being led astray, my gut called me back to trying a physio again. I wanted someone who has experience in treating necks; and that’s how I found Brendan searching online. Before booking, he was happy for me to call to explain my presentation to see if it was something he thought he could actually help with. He was very honest and said that he should know if he can help or not within two sessions. In our first session, he could very quickly identify a significant weakness in my neck, and gave me one simple exercise. My response to exertion improved immediately, and continued to improve. Just a few weeks later, for the first time in 5 years, I was able to run freely and with the energy and mental clarity that I had lost. We have spoken about his experiences with treating neck issues/unexplained dizziness etc. and I cannot recommend Brendan enough if this is something you are experiencing, as it is an area he is uniquely knowledgeable in. Brendan, thank you. You’ve changed the course of my young life. It still hasn’t settled in that I can exercise, play sports, go hiking and be active again, all the things that have been so integral for my wellbeing but were taken away. I can’t imagine how different life would be if I continued to live on without an answer. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! *happy tears* EmmaPosted on Google TheoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Top tier physio! Helped with my rolled ankle. Brendan gave me all the treatment and reassurance I needed over 3 sessions. Super easy to liaise appointments with and generally just a great dude to chat with during each session. Highly recommended and I shall come back for any future problems. Thank you Brendan! 🙏🏼Posted on Google Michael PapaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve had shoulder issues that I haven’t been able to resolve for a while now. Brendon helped me relieve my shoulder pain and also gave me a tune up on my overall flexibility and mobility issues. If I ever have any issues, I’ll be sure to visit BrendonPosted on Google Bobby WilliamsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brendan has been extremely helpful in treating my chronic lower back pain and disc bulging from years of heavy lifting. He is one of the very few local credentialed physiotherapists using the proven McKenzie Method, and his expertise really shows. Brendan is highly skilled at quickly pinpointing problematic areas and providing targeted care. The stretches and exercises he prescribes are progressive and practical, and have already helped me regain mobility beyond what I expected. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for effective, long-term results. - WilliamPosted on Google Aaron DunneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brendan helped me recover from reoccurring calf injury and had me back on the pitch in no time. The treatments, stretching routines and advice I received were exactly what was needed to resolve the problem. I have and will continue to recommend Brendan to everyone I know in need of a great physiotherapist.
