An expert will assess your injury and give you an accurate diagnosis and a realistic management plan. Assessment includes a history and physical examination (including ultrasound imaging if necessary).

Is treatment covered by private insurance?

It may be if you have extras cover. Your rebate will depend on the details of your policy. We have HICAPS system so you only have to pay the out of pocket expense. We do treat Veterans, TAC and Workcover patients.

I’ve had a great experience with Christian helping me recover from an achilles injury. I would definitely recommend this clinic

About a year ago I’d basically resigned myself to giving up running after having used two different physios and PRP to no avail. I heard about Christian and Peter via a couple of podcasts and thought let’s try one last throw of the dice: telehealth. Anyway, 12 months later I can say it was clearly one of the better decisions I have ever made: all without any direct therapy, Christian has taken me on a steady journey of controlled improvement and not only enabled me to return to running but improved my gait and strength. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Dr Peter Malliaras has been able to completely turn around my knee situation where many other physiotherapists simply could not even understand what was really going on. He has looked at the exams, performed tests, and asked many questions until he had a clear unmistakable picture of the underlying problems.He is consistently extremely professional, and an emphatic human being with the best bedside manners a patient could hope for.I simply cannot thank him enough for completely changing my situation and giving me back my mobility. Thank you so, so much.

I can highly recommend Complete Physio for quality physio care and treatment. I’ve seen Ni’ia for treatment and rehab for a calf tear and am back to full functionality a few months on.Ni’ia listened and took attention to tailor a rehab program that perfectly matched my level of physical fitness, my fitness goals and most importantly worked in with my lifestyle and time available to rehab.I’d highly recommend seeing Ni. It’s also a pleasant clinic, good facilities and easy public transport / parking access.

Highly recommend Dave and all the team at Complete for Pilates and Physio. The pilates program is tailored to my specific needs and helps keep me fit and active. It’s the one exercise regime I’ve managed to continue with for many years. It’s a very encouraging and friendly environment.

Dr Christian Barton has been assisting me with knee pain for six months and I am very happy with the progress I have been making. I contacted Dr Barton after listening to a podcast interview with him on knee pain. He is has a positive attitude and is very experienced, my leg strength has improved dramatically and I have been able to race again. The team at Complete are professional, friendly and helpful. I also had an excellent massage with Tim Trevail. Thoroughly recommend Complete.
