about physio phil
Evidence-informed physiotherapy focused on how you move
Welcome to PhysioPhil — a physiotherapy practice built on personalised care, clear communication, and a genuine commitment to helping people move well.
PhysioPhil is led by Phillip (Phil) Mills, a registered physiotherapist who takes a thoughtful, individualised approach to assessment and treatment. Every person who walks through the door is different, which is why care is never one‑size‑fits‑all. Our focus is on understanding your concerns, your lifestyle, and your goals, then developing a plan that supports your movement and physical function.
Based in Southport and Calamvale, PhysioPhil supports individuals across the Gold Coast and Brisbane Southside.
Meet Phil — Registered Physiotherapist
Phil’s interest in physiotherapy grew from a strong background in sport and physical activity, including surf lifesaving, rugby union, and swimming. Through these experiences, he developed a deep appreciation for how the body moves — and how injuries, pain, or setbacks can impact everyday life.
Phil holds a Master of Physiotherapy and a Bachelor of Exercise Science and is fully qualified and registered to practise physiotherapy in Australia. Originally from New Zealand, he relocated to the Gold Coast in 2009 and has since built strong connections within the local community.
Phil has a clinical interest in working with people who present complex or less obvious physical concerns, including post-concussion presentations, whiplash-associated disorders, and conditions involving the neck and nervous system. All care is provided following professional assessment and tailored to the individual.
Our Philosophy
PhysioPhil is guided by a few simple principles
Our philosophy is centred on providing professional, respectful, and individualised physiotherapy care. We recognise that every person presents with different needs, goals, and circumstances, which is why our approach focuses on careful assessment, clear communication, and evidence-informed decision-making.
These principles guide how care is delivered at PhysioPhil. By combining clinical knowledge with an understanding of each individual’s situation, we aim to support safe, appropriate, and practical management strategies that align with personal goals and day-to-day activities. All care is provided following professional assessment and is adapted as needs change over time.
