Introducing Marna Physio

MARNA Physio has arrived on the Bellarine and the Surf Coast.

The business is a new collaboration between the region’s most experienced physiotherapists.

Marna Physio was developed around the ethos of community, with high quality care on a small, individualised scale.

If you have managed to stay injury-free and out of their clinics, chances are you have been in the Winki or Southside line up with one of the team, or run past them on the Bells track, been cheered on by them at Parkrun, patted one of their dogs at the park, shared a footy field, or bumped into them having a coffee.

Local clinic owners Wade Byrnes, Ollie Butler, Steve Stahl, and Adrian Deans have been around the Bellarine and Surf Coast for decades, as have the rest of the rapidly-growing team.

What started as a new modern clinic in Armstrong Creek, has now grown to include Torquay, Ocean Grove, and the Waurn Ponds clinic at Leisurelink.

“We have always been passionate about our local community, and at a time when many allied health clinics are being corporatised, we felt strongly about staying locally owned and locally focused, so Marna was born,” Mr Stahl said.

Mr Butler said the business was “very lucky to have a great bunch of physios with world-class expertise who call the Surf Coast home.”

“Wade gives up the beach in January to help the Australian Open stars. Steve jet-sets around the world presenting at conferences,” he quipped.

Mr Byrnes said nothing compared to the feeling when a client came into Marna Physio with a big smile after having achieved their goal – “and it doesn’t matter if that’s Rafa or the neighbour.”

The name of the businesses is a local Wadawarrung word meaning “hand”.

“We wanted our name to represent who we are: a welcoming hand, a guiding hand, a healing hand, connected to our local community,” Mr Deans said.
