Scott Beattie
Physiotherapist
Originally from the UK, Scott has brought his passion for physiotherapy to Perth, drawn by the warmer weather and relaxed lifestyle.
With experience treating people from all walks of life, Scott works with a wide range of conditions—from everyday aches and pains to post-surgical recovery and sporting injuries. His background as a professional footballer gives him a strong understanding of the demands of sport, but his practical and supportive style makes him equally effective in helping clients with day-to-day mobility, work-related issues, or long-term health goals.
Scott’s treatment approach blends hands-on manual therapy, dry needling, and targeted exercise rehabilitation, supported by clear education to help clients stay confident in their recovery. He tailors care to suit each individual, focusing on what matters most to them—whether that’s moving more comfortably, keeping active, or returning to competition.
