Our people specialise in things other people can't fix.
Forget the modern rooms...
Revive Motional Health is a truely lovely place to work, but the really valuable thing about our clinic is our people.
Attitude and knowledge will always be more important than our modern, (stylish even) clinic and the most up-to-date equipment in Hobart.
Our people know that if we simply treat your pain, we may never find out what the problem is... and all you can ever expect is temporary relief and never-ending visits to our clinic.
That's not how they operate.
They find the source of the problem... they fix it... we hope you never need us again.
But we do more than relieve (hopefully eliminate) your pain, we’re here to help you maintain a healthy body and live life to the way you want to live it - pain free and full of life.
So we’ve been very careful who we employ. We could have more people working in a bigger practice.... and we will one day... but only when we find enough of the right people.
The Revive approach is not a ‘system', it’s one of precise and individual diagnosis backed by effective, long-term relief through treatment and the prevention of injury. Solutions are individual, customised and clearly communicated so you have an understanding of your condition and what needs to be done to get back to full movement and mobility.
If you want your old life back, come and talk to one of our people.

Lachlan Marwood
Senior Physiotherapist
Pianist... Explorer... Adopted Tasmanian that loves being a physiotherapist. His enthusiasm and passion for managing everything ranging from acute injuries through to complex and persistent pain is evident in the way he approaches each issue and provides comprehensive and individualized care. He takes genuine pleasure in helping people reach their goals and is committed to providing contemporary evidence-based therapy. Growing up in Country NSW on a sheep and cropping farm he studied his undergraduate in sunny QLD where he met his wife (well, they weren’t married when they first met), before making the move to beautiful Tasmania in 2017. While he loves his work, he certainly makes time for Trail running, hiking, surfing, and chess; and while he no longer teaches, he is mildly concerned his neighbours may not appreciate the often excessive piano playing. He became a Titled Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist in 2018 after completing his Master’s in Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy through La Trobe in Melbourne. Qualifications: Bachelor of Physiotherapy - University of Queensland - Graduate Certificate in Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy - La Trobe University - Master of Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy (Valedictorian) - La Trobe University - Golden Key Recipient and life member 2018 - President of the Tasmanian Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy Association - Member of the Australian College of Physiotherapists - Member of the Australian Physiotherapy Association
