Patrick Bailey
Physiotherapist

Growing up in the small Central Queensland town of Baralaba, Patrick understands the importance of staying active and getting back to doing the things you love. Whether it’s returning to work, getting back on the sporting field, or simply keeping up with the family, he’s passionate about helping people move with confidence again.

Patrick has extensive experience in the assessment, treatment and rehabilitation of sports injuries and musculoskeletal conditions. Before joining the team at Live Strong Physiotherapy, he worked on the Sunshine Coast where he provided physiotherapy services to several high-level sporting clubs, including the Bears, Swans, and Lightning. Working alongside athletes competing at an elite level has equipped him with the skills to accurately diagnose injuries, develop evidence-based rehabilitation programs, and help people return to peak performance as safely and efficiently as possible.

While Patrick enjoys working with athletes of all levels, his approach is the same for every patient. He takes the time to understand your goals, identify the root cause of your pain, and create a personalised treatment plan that gets lasting results—not just short-term relief.

Whether you’re dealing with a sporting injury, workplace pain, post-operative rehabilitation or persistent aches that just won’t go away, Patrick combines hands-on treatment with targeted exercise programs to help you recover and stay active.

Outside the clinic, you’ll usually find Patrick enjoying the outdoors, keeping active, and following a wide range of sports.

Areas of Interest:

  • Sports Injury Management
  • Tendon Injuries
  • Shoulder, Knee & Ankle Rehabilitation
  • Strength & Conditioning
  • Return to Sport Rehabilitation
