Tidal Motion Physiotherapy & Allied Health

    Physiotherapy in Coffs Harbour

    Tidal Motion provides personalised physiotherapy in Coffs Harbour for locals who want to move better, recover faster and get back to the life they love. Whether you're a tradie, a busy parent, a weekend athlete or living with a chronic condition, our team takes the time to understand your goals before we build a treatment plan around you.

    We work with clients across Coffs Harbour, Sawtell, Woolgoolga, Toormina and the wider Mid North Coast — either in-clinic at our Industrial Drive location (inside Evolve Fitness Collective) or through our mobile home-visit service. Every appointment begins with a thorough assessment so we can pinpoint what's actually driving your pain, not just where you feel it.

    Our approach blends hands-on manual therapy with exercise-based rehabilitation. Passive treatment feels good in the room, but lasting recovery comes from movement, strength and confidence in your body. That's why every treatment plan includes a clear home program you can actually stick to, and progress reviews built in from day one.

    We accept private clients, NDIS participants (self-managed and plan-managed), Home Care Package recipients, DVA, Medicare Chronic Disease Management referrals, workers compensation and all major private health funds via HICAPS.

    How we work with you

    1. 1

      Initial assessment

      60-minute deep-dive into your history, movement patterns and goals. You leave with a diagnosis you understand and a plan you agree with.

    2. 2

      Hands-on treatment

      Manual therapy, dry needling, joint mobilisation or soft-tissue work where clinically indicated — always paired with active rehab, never as a stand-alone fix.

    3. 3

      Exercise prescription

      A tailored home program using video-based exercises you can access from your phone. Simple, progressive and built for your life.

    4. 4

      Progress reviews

      Regular check-ins to measure what's changed. If something isn't working, we adjust. If you're ahead of schedule, we progress you faster.
