Meet your local, Budgewoi physio.

Hi, I’m Brett Cowling, a proud Central Coast local and the founder of Coastal Movement Physiotherapy.

Meet Brett Cowling

I'm thrilled to be opening our new practice here in Budgewoi. This community is my home, and I'm passionate about helping the people in it live active, healthy, and pain-free lives.

I graduated from the University of Newcastle in 2019 with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy (Honours) and have since dedicated my career to musculoskeletal and sports rehabilitation in private practice settings. To further my skills, I became a CCMI Certified Concussion Practitioner, which allows me to provide specialised, evidence-based care for those recovering from concussion.

My approach is built on a foundation of evidence-based practice. I combine hands-on manual therapy with personalised exercise rehabilitation to not only help you recover from your current injury but also to build long-term resilience and confidence in your body. I have a keen interest in the accurate assessment and diagnosis of injuries, as I believe early and effective intervention is key to a faster, more successful recovery. This is something I put into practice regularly through my work with local sporting teams.

When I’m not in the clinic, you’ll usually find me outdoors. Whether I'm on a soccer field, trying to find a wave, running along the coast, or camping with my family, I love to stay moving. I know firsthand how frustrating an injury can be, and that personal experience drives my commitment to helping you get back to doing what you love.

My Key Areas of Interest Include:

  • Acute injury management

  • Sporting injuries

  • Chronic Pain

  • Concussion assessment and management

  • Neck pain and headaches

  • Spinal pain

  • Shoulder injuries and rehabilitation

  • Lower limb injuries and overuse conditions

  • Long-term injury prevention and performance optimisation

I look forward to meeting you and helping you achieve your movement goals.

Let’s get you back in motion.
