There is a common experience with pain that goes something like this. It starts small, you work around it, it does not quite go away, you push through it, then one day it stops you doing something you would rather be doing.
That is usually when people book in with Riley, a physiotherapist here in Kensington. He is the person you see before a niggle turns into a season on the sidelines.
Plenty of physios can name what hurts. Riley works out why it is happening, and builds you a way back that fits the life you are actually trying to live. Three things make the difference.
Riley is a marathon and ultra runner, an Ironman finisher, and was a 2024 Nike Melbourne Marathon pacer. He knows the difference between a niggle to train through and a signal to back off, and he will not tell you to just stop moving when you have got goals you are chasing.
Riley uses functional movement assessments to see how you load and unload, and how your body behaves under real conditions, not just where it hurts. You get a straight answer in plain language, and a plan you can actually work with, not a stretch sheet and a shrug.
All for One Kensington sits upstairs at KCARC. Riley can watch how you move under load, on the equipment you train with, and your rehab happens in the same space it was written for. Most Kensington clinics cannot offer that.
Riley completed his Doctor of Physiotherapy at the University of Melbourne, and treats the full range of musculoskeletal conditions. From the low back that flares up when you sit too long, to the shoulder that never fully recovered from a thing years ago, to the knee, hip, calf or ankle that is making walking, working, training or sleeping harder than it needs to be.
He is also certified in Clinical Pilates (APPI Equipment and Matwork), so when strength and stability are part of the recovery, they get built into the same plan rather than bolted on afterwards.
What you notice in a session with Riley is that he is not in a hurry to hand you exercises. He wants the whole picture first. How you move, how you live, and what you are trying to get back to. Then he explains what he finds in language that makes sense, and you leave knowing exactly what is going on and what you are doing about it.
Not knowing is often worse than the pain itself. Your first appointment with Riley starts with a thorough one on one assessment and ends with a straight answer. What is going on, what is driving it, and what it is not. In plain English, with time for every question you have been sitting on.
The running, the lifting, the sport, whatever it is you are afraid of losing. Telling you to stop is not how Riley works. As a marathon runner, ultra runner and Ironman finisher himself, his job is to rebuild your capacity to do the thing, not talk you out of it.
No. You can book directly with Riley for physiotherapy or Clinical Pilates. If you have private health cover, All for One Kensington is claimable with all the major funds and HICAPS is on site, so your rebate is sorted on the spot. WorkCover, Transport Accident Commission and Medicare care plan referrals are also welcome.
No. Earlier is easier, but now always beats later. Whether it started last Tuesday or three years ago, Riley will meet you wherever you are starting from.
People most commonly come to Riley with:
Not sure if physio is the right starting point? Riley is always happy to have a quick chat before booking to make sure he can help, and if not, to point you in the right direction.
He listens first. The whole story. The injury, what you have already tried, what you are afraid of losing, and what you want back.
A thorough assessment. Functional movement testing to see how you load and unload, and how the body actually moves under real conditions, not just where it hurts.
A straight answer. What is happening, why, and what it means for the things you care about. Explained in plain language before you leave the room.
A plan you can work with. Manual therapy where it helps, rehab that fits your week, and Clinical Pilates if it belongs in the picture.
Treatment from day one. Hands on care starts in your first session, so things are already moving by the time you walk out.

All for One Kensington shares a building with the KCARC gym, and for Riley’s work that changes things. Your physio can assess how you actually move under load, on the equipment you train with, not just how you move on a treatment plinth. Rehab gets done in the same space, on the gear it was written for. For anyone who trains, that is the difference between a generic program and one built around the way your body really works.
You will find Riley on Level 1 of KCARC at 99 Altona Street, Kensington. A short walk from Newmarket and Kensington train stations, and easy to reach from Flemington, Ascot Vale, Moonee Ponds, North Melbourne and Parkville.

If you have been putting up with it, working around it, or pushing through and hoping it will settle, it is usually more treatable than you think once someone actually looks at what is driving it. One appointment with Riley is all it takes to stop wondering.
