Connor McKay is a Director and senior physiotherapist at TPM Townsville. He has a background as an elite triathlete and is a firm believer of using functional exercise to help injury prevention, improve performance and rehabilitation.
Connor is a passionate physiotherapist - wanting his patients to strive for the best results and help them achieve their goals. He has overcome his slew of injuries from a junior athlete, right through to his adulthood -giving him great insight into the difficulties his patients may face. He has supported athletes at the elite level, including triathletes at the Hamilton Island Super League series, right through to the budding beginner.
As a Professional Athlete, I have spent much of my life seeing Physiotherapists. For years I was unimpressed with the old model of treating multiple people at once and wanted to make a real difference. Incorporating gym-based rehab, biomechanics and training programs has helped me change how people view physiotherapy.
Being able to keep people doing what they love and working around injuries. No one likes to be told "you have to stop exercising" and I take pleasure in making sure that I never have to say those words.
I believe knowing your strengths & weaknesses is essential as a practitioner. As a patient, you will appreciate coming to someone who can treat you well in the areas they know, and aren't too proud to refer you elsewhere if you can be treated better!
I am also a Professional Triathlete which takes up a lot of my spare time. Travelling the world to race in different destinations is something I really enjoy and whilst being my other form of "work", I certainly never get bored!
I grew up in Townsville and attended school & university here, and it's great to be in a place that isn't small, but you still know everyone. Everyone is happy to help when you need something, and you can always go to the right person quickly in a small place like Townsville.
Stent Card is a senior physiotherapist at The Physio Movement Townsville. He has abundant experience in both sports and musculoskeletal physiotherapy. His philosophy is one of collaboration, working with you to help you understand what the problem is and feel in control of your recovery.
Stent is completing his Masters of Physiotherapy and has already completed many post-graduate training courses. He is passionate about staying up-to-date, giving you the best level of care!
Enjoying training, exercise and the human anatomy in addition to having a few injuries myself, lead to me seeing what physiotherapists do. Understanding that as a physio, you can have a job where you help people be physically active linked well with my passions.
Being able to work with people to improve their physical capability. Whether that be sporting or just day to day, seeing someone who is limited or not reaching their full potential due to injury or pain reach their goals is a nice feeling.
The focus is on keeping you as physically active as possible. Undertaking numerous extra courses and further study with my Masters in Sports Phyiotherapy, you can be sure that while taking a patient centred approach to your care, it will involve the latest up to date information and clinical experience to help achieve your long term goal.
I enjoy the outdoors and exploring everything Townsville and QLD has to offer. Staying physically active myself, whether it be exercising the dog, running, mountain bike riding or in the gym, is a large factor in my life.
Being active myself, I enjoy working in a clinic where everyone has placed priority and focus on improving themselves.
Growing up in Charters Towers, Lachlan Skinner began his physiotherapy journey playing competitive tennis. Being exposed to physio during that time gave him insight into the career and is what ultimately led him to study physiotherapy. He has a passion for health and fitness and a keen eye for detail. Lachlan is empathetic, friendly and will go above and beyond for all of his patients.
As a former competitive tennis player, I had several injuries related to the sport, so in my youth I would often see my local physiotherapist in Charters Towers for treatment and management of these injuries. I was immediately interested by the profession and could see myself doing it as a career. This is what initially drove me to study physiotherapy.
I think the aspect of my job I enjoy the most is assisting people in a place and time where their quality of life is being affected by pain and injury. Having the ability to educate and manage people through these challenging periods is extremely rewarding.
As a practitioner I think my strengths are a willingness to listen and put myself in the patients shoes, as well as ensuring the treatments I am providing are evidence based and individualised to the person in front of me.
When I'm not working I enjoy going to the gym, taking long walks on the beach and playing guitar. I also enjoy listening to music, podcasts and video games from time to time. Socialising with friends is also something I think is important.
I live in North Ward, which is in Townsville City. I really enjoy the location as its close to the beach, in close vicinity to work and close to heaps of great restaurants.
Elizabeth Hore or "Lizzy" as she would prefer is a Townsville local who has recently joined The Physio Movement team. She has spent the past year in rural Charters Towers expanding her knowledge base and gaining experience in all things Physiotherapy. After gaining insight into Physiotherapy as a whole, Lizzy is eager to conduct further studies and follow her passions into Women’s Health and NDIS.
Lizzy believes that physical well-being is strongly related to mental well-being. So this is incorporated when necessary, into her treatments to ensure you can be the healthiest version of yourself without all those draining pains and limitations.
There are a few reasons I wanted to become a physio! The reward of helping others, encouraging an active lifestyle for myself and others. My enthusiasm to understand anatomy and physiology as well as a clinical thinking job. Also, being able to have variety and working in a team environment with like-minded people.
Supportive working environment within the clinic I work in and from other businesses' around Townsville. I have trust in many local practitioners so communication is not missed.

Searching; physio near me, physio Townsville or physiotherapy in Townsville?
Our team of physio's service patients from all over Townsville, though most come from nearby suburbs such as South Townsville, Townsville City and North Ward.
Whether you need help with an existing injury, rehabilitation, soft tissue therapy or joint manipulations, we consider ourselves the best physios and physiotherapy clinic in Townsville.
Physio Townsville is (from our research) one of the most common searches our patient's use to find us, followed by Physiotherapist Townsville and interestingly, Physiotherapy Townsville. Patients often search us by suburb first, however, and as a result, some other typical searches include Townsville Physio, Townsville Physiotherapist and or Townsville Physiotherapy. Though not a direct variation to the two above, a broader approach is often taken with a search like; physio near me, or if a practice is more intended then physiotherapy near me is quite often the search. We have found that depending on the demographics the use of the word 'in' features quite heavily, and so we'll often see Physio in Townsville, Physiotherapist in Townsville and Physiotherapy in Townsville as common phrases. In the end, we do our best to be as visible and accessible for our patients in and around our local area as possible.
