Matt Tan is a dedicated physiotherapist with a unique blend of clinical insight and holistic understanding, offering specialised care in chronic pain, shoulder pain, knee issues, and spinal conditions. His interest in physiotherapy was shaped by a strong academic background—prior to becoming a physiotherapist, Matt completed a double degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Human Biology. This distinctive combination allows him to take a comprehensive, well-rounded approach to treatment.
With a focus on empowering patients to take charge of their health, Matt blends evidence-based techniques with a deep understanding of the body’s interconnected systems. His treatment style is calm, patient-centred, and rooted in both science and empathy.
Outside of the clinic, Matt leads a busy and active life. He enjoys camping with his partner and two young children, and keeps fit through running, swimming, tennis, and fishing. His personal commitment to an active lifestyle informs the way he supports and motivates his clients through their recovery.
Matt provides a variety of physiotherapy services tailored to the needs of individuals dealing with pain, injury, or long-term conditions. His primary areas of focus include:
Chronic Pain Management: Practical, holistic strategies to help reduce persistent pain and restore confidence in movement.
Shoulder Pain Rehabilitation: Hands-on therapy and exercise-based solutions for conditions like rotator cuff injuries, impingement, and instability.
Knee Pain Treatment: Tailored plans for issues such as patellofemoral pain, ligament injuries, or post-surgical recovery.
Spinal Conditions: Effective treatment for neck and back pain, disc-related issues, and movement dysfunctions involving the spine.
Matt ensures each treatment plan is designed around the individual—he listens closely to his patients and works alongside them to set achievable goals. His sessions often include manual therapy, movement education, and progressive exercise programs to promote long-term recovery.
Matt’s background in both Eastern and Western health sciences offers his patients a rare advantage. He brings together anatomical expertise with an appreciation for whole-body wellness, which allows him to treat not only the symptom but also the contributing factors behind it.
Moreover, his ability to connect with patients from all walks of life—whether they’re recovering from surgery, managing long-term pain, or simply looking to move more freely—makes him an approachable and trusted clinician.
If you are struggling with persistent pain, recovering from injury, or seeking to improve your physical wellbeing, Matt Tan offers practical, thoughtful physiotherapy that bridges traditional knowledge and modern clinical care. His goal is simple: to help you live better, move more, and stay active in the things you love.
