Focus Physio is a Boutique clinic. We appreciate the intricacy and specificity of the Body. We apply this acknowledgment to our treatments. We are like detectives of the body, searching out why the dysfunction occurred in the first place.

We work with your system not against it, making sure our treatment is specific to your needs. Focus Physio has a whole body approach. You will experience a unique set of treatment skills that only Focus Physio offers here in Cairns.

What is the “Whole System” you ask? Well, exactly that. Our body is not just muscle and bone. In fact, muscle pain is often an expression for bigger issues your body cannot sort out.Focus Physio offers Visceral Manipulation (direct manipulation of the organs). We also offer neural, circulatory, and cranial techniques. These are just to name a few of our approaches. It is important that all of these structures are taken into consideration.; We can then properly address pain or dysfunction in the body.

Focus Physio has the expertise to locate in your body where the problem originates and the tools to treat it appropriately.

Although we would like to see you, our aim is to get you to a place where you don’t need treatment. When the source of the issue is diagnosed and corrected—you have better results that are long-lasting – this not only gives you peace of mind to take that holiday or pick up that heavy box but saves you a lot of time and money in ongoing treatments in the future.

Locals helping people affected by cancer

Cairns Organisation United for Cancer Health - better known as COUCH - is a community focused charity with a mission to improve health care services for Cairns and Far North Queensland residents diagnosed with cancer.

Established as an action group in September 2006 by founders Charles and Pip Woodward, COUCH was inspired by Cairns resident Liz Plummer and her inspiring fight for better oncology services in Far North Queensland.

The COUCH board and volunteers have been dedicated to that original vision of addressing the imbalance of services and support for people with cancer - and their families - in Far North Queensland compared to those in larger, metropolitan cities.

The lack of oncology and cancer support services has caused unnecessary pain and suffering, with Far North Queensland residents often forced to travel to Townsville or Brisbane for treatment.

From the moment COUCH was formed in 2006, the groundswell of public support has been overwhelming. 

In 2009, COUCH achieved its initial objective with the Queensland Government announcing that Cairns would receive radiation oncology services by 2010. The campaigning and fundraising by COUCH resulted in cancer care facilities for Cairns being fast tracked by five years.

With radiation treatment being just one step in improving the delivery of local cancer services, COUCH set about realising the vision of Charles and Pip Woodward for a health and wellness centre to be established in Cairns.

With significant investment by the Federal Government and the remarkable generosity of local residents, businesses and charities, COUCH will open the $3 million COUCH Wellness Centre in April 2019.

With the original vision of its founders as a guide, COUCH’s mission to raise funds and advocate for better cancer services in Far North Queensland continues.
