The problem

Generic rehab wasn't built for athletes.

Weekly check-ins. Generic exercises. "It depends" when you ask how long you'll be out. That model was designed for office workers with sore backs — not footballers, court athletes or combat competitors who can't play the sport they love.

01

No clear timeline or plan

You leave every appointment without knowing if you're on track — or what "on track" even looks like. That uncertainty makes it impossible to plan when you return, how hard to push, or whether you're heading in the right direction at all.

02

Generic exercises with no sport context

A netball wing attack, a rugby prop and a BJJ competitor all have different demands. Your program should reflect your sport, your position, your training week — it rarely does.

03

"Stop training" — with no alternative

Rest has a role. But full rest prescribed without a path forward doesn't work for a competitive athlete. There is almost always something you can keep doing — and should be.

The solution

The Rehab
Accelerator.

A unique sports injury solution for Melbourne's competitive athletes — team sport and combat. Physio, strength & conditioning, and movement coaching — integrated under one roof, from one plan. Every athlete leaves their first appointment with a written week-by-week program and a target return date.

Gym & Group Training

Train smarter.
Recover stronger.

Group gym sessions designed for athletes — not generic fitness classes. Led by Chris Tandy and Tom Yeung, every session is supervised by clinicians who understand your sport and your body.

Whether you're in active rehab or pushing your performance, our gym sessions bridge the gap between the treatment room and the field.

01

Clinician-supervised every session

Not a PT. A physiotherapist who knows your injury history, your sport, and exactly what you should and shouldn't be loading.

02

Built for competitive athletes

Sessions are programmed for people with real training goals — not office workers looking to move better.

03

Limited spots — book online

Small group format keeps quality high. Spots go fast. Book online to secure your place in the next block.

02

03
Tell you which one you need

Sometimes that's the cheaper program. We'll tell you honestly before you commit.

Tom Yeung treating a combat athlete — Stride Sports Physio Melbourne
Combat Sports Consulting

Dedicated combat sports physio service in partnership with Combat Sports Consulting.

Combat Sports Physio

Built for fighters.
Not general patients.

Boxing, MMA, BJJ, Muay Thai, wrestling. Combat athletes have a different relationship with pain, training load, and recovery timelines. Generic physio doesn't account for that.

01

Tom Yeung — your dedicated combat physio

Senior Physiotherapist with a background in combat training. He understands why a 12-week full rest prescription doesn't work for a competitor who has a bout in six weeks.

02

Return confirmed by objective testing

Not a calendar date. Not a guess. Movement and load capacity tested against your specific sport demands before clearance is given.

03

Training continues through rehab

There is almost always something you can keep doing. We build around what you can't do, not just stop everything you can.

ACL Specialists

Prepared to Play
ACL Program.

ACL rehabilitation is the most complex, highest-stakes injury in sport. Done without objective clearance testing, re-injury risk is significant. Done right — with structured, gate-by-gate testing — athletes return with data to prove they're ready.

Our ACL pathway, Prepared to Play, was developed by our director Chris Tandy — AI-powered movement profiling to build a personalised, evidence-based pathway from surgery to full return-to-play clearance.

01

Phase-by-phase milestones — no guessing

Every phase has objective criteria. You don't move forward until you've cleared the gate. No calendar-based guesswork.

02

Objective movement testing at each gate

Single-leg hop testing, force plate data, movement symmetry scores. You see the numbers. You know where you stand.

03

Developed by our director

Prepared to Play was developed by Chris Tandy — 11 years embedded at Melbourne Storm NRL. The same methodology that returned elite athletes now drives the program.

Single-leg hop testing

Objective return-to-sport clearance. Distance, symmetry, and load measured against sport-specific benchmarks — not a calendar date.
