Q&A with Chris Mallac

What made you decide to become a physiotherapist?

My passion for sport and helping people was my most significant push. As a teenager, I was an athlete, and I wanted to stay within the sporting realm as I grew in experience as a Sports Physiotherapist. I was lucky enough to be given some incredible opportunities internationally, which has also helped define my craft.

What do you love most about your job?

The people I meet and the experience and knowledge I can give to physiotherapy students and patients keep me going. I love the fulfilment I receive when I see a patient walk out of the clinic happy and proud that they can return to sport, knowing that their injuries are a thing of the past.

Why should a new patient decide to choose you?

I have 25 years of experience as a physiotherapist. I have worked as the high-performance manager and sports physiotherapist for some of Australias' top organisations including the Brisbane Roar, Brisbane Lions and Queensland reds. I have also had the opportunity to work internationally for high-level sporting organisations which transfers into private practice.

What do you enjoy doing when you're not working?

I love spending time with my family and friends. If I can get a chance to go out surfing or keeping active, this is my happy place. I try to train 3-4x per week in the gym and run as often as possible.

What do you enjoy about Enoggera and the community?

Enoggera is a fantastic family and community-based suburb. The people who come through the doors at Resistance Sports Science are incredible to work with.

It's that good I drive down from Noosa 2x per week!

Patients often search us by suburb first, however, and as a result, some other typical searches include Enoggera Physio, Enoggera Physiotherapist and or Enoggera Physiotherapy.

General FAQs

What is Physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy is a health field to help people regain their physical fitness, physical function, and general well-being.

Physiotherapy is entirely different from medical science. Physiotherapy's primary concern is centred on improving the health of individuals with mobility issues, suffering from pain or stiffness.

Physiotherapists are well knowledgeable on the function of the human body, human anatomy, and the biology of the human body.

Education

It takes four years of university training to become a physiotherapist. Some physiotherapists will receive a Bachelors degree, whilst others will complete a Masters of Physiotherapy.

They offer expert clinical skills to assess the underlying health condition, mobility issues before suggesting a treatment plan.

There are various treatment plans used by physiotherapists, but the most useful include:

A physiotherapist will perform an initial assessment when you first see them. This is to investigate the underlying condition to proffer an accurate treatment plan as it relates to the problem.

While physiotherapists are independent of medical doctors and you don't need a doctor's recommendation to visit one in Australia, they sometimes need to work hand in hand with them or related health practitioners for a complicated condition.

Physiotherapists train to improve your mobility, physical fitness, and improve your well-being after an illness or injury. Physiotherapists are here for us to help us get on our feet quickly and resume doing those things we love to do without injury or illness.
