    After completing a rather unique double degree - a Bachelor of Physiotherapy & Exercise Science in 2003, & a Masters of Manipulative Physiotherapy at the University of Sydney in 2010 (a voluntary, yet brutal, undertaking for a physiotherapist who wants to be better), Adam established Evoker in 2011. A physiotherapy practice with a difference. & that difference, or 'niche', was absolute excellence. 100% of the time. Attention to customer service detail, & excellence in physiotherapy.

    Adam’s career in physiotherapy began in the ‘elite’ sporting arena at the Brisbane Broncos Rugby League Club. The lessons learned in this ‘sink or swim’, high pressure environment of the 03/04/05 seasons, created a platform for Adam to really excel in this profession. Adam has accepted invitations to look after the physical health of other Physiotherapists, Doctors, Specialists, Surgeons & none other than a former Prime Minister of this country.

    ALLSPORTS PHYSIO & SPORTS MEDICINE

    Adam Monteith is a well trained and highly successful musculoskeletal physiotherapist. He graduated from Griffith University’s Gold Coast campus in 2003 with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy and a Bachelor of Exercise Science. Good work in the field earned Adam a new graduate position with Allsports Physiotherapy and Sports Medicine, the official physiotherapists for the Brisbane Broncos Rugby League Club. During this time Adam was responsible for the treatment and care of a variety of patient types. Work here involved the treatment and return to sport of elite athletes, post operative patients, the busy active professional, and the patient with everyday neck and back pain.

    THE BRITISH ARMY
    After turning down an offer to buy into the Allsports practice, Adam moved to London where he spent several years living and working in the United Kingdom. For 12 months Adam was employed by the British Army and was responsible for keeping 1500 soldiers fit and ready for deployment. In this time, Adam was largely treating lower limb over-use injuries (or running injuries) such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, anterior knee pain, and shin splints. Adam also worked in a large, very reputable, sports clinic in the heart of London city treating a variety of patient types, from Olympic athletes (yes – they were English) to the astute businessman. Adam then moved to the United States and spent the winter working in the Colorado Rockies, treating a large number of skiing and boarding injuries.

    SYDNEY & CBD PHYSIO
    On return to Sydney in 2007, Adam joined CBD Physio in the heart of Sydney city, where he spent 4 years treating and servicing the very busy Sydney professional. In this time Adam returned to study and completed a Masters of Physiotherapy, with a specialist stream in manipulative physiotherapy, at the University of Sydney. This intensive and demanding 2 year period of study has significantly improved Adam’s already strong assessment and treatment skills. Adam now has more than 20 years combined study and clinical experience in the profession, and is more than capable of dealing with the most complex of conditions, and has done so with great success in the past.

    Expect: A good listener, time spent in assessment phase, plenty of ‘hands on’ physio and exercise.

    Trish loves all of the innate intricacies (and the complexities) of the human body, and she also adores sport.
    Most importantly, Trish loves working with you guys – the people.
    Trish is the perfect ‘fit for physio’ - the profession knows it, Evoker knows it, and all of her patients feel that too.
    Trish is always hungry (starving!) for more knowledge, and she tackles all challenges head on, whilst constantly managing to radiate positivity and love – a rare, but refreshing balance.

    Read More

    A physio that also pushes their own body in exercise, a physio that regularly trains, is the one that you want to see.
    As Trish chargers through her own personal training, and tests the limits of her own body, she is gaining invaluable insight into how to navigate a path out of discomfort (for her own pain experiences).
    She will not only intimately understand how it feels to be in your position, but she also knows what it takes to get you out of that place, and fast.
    A physio that has sat in the patient chair, many times, is always better for it when sitting on the other side of the table – in the physio chair.
    Trish understands your pain experience, she knows precisely how it feels, and how frustrating it is.
    She knows what’s required of both her care, and you (the patient), in order to get you a result in the shortest period of time.
    Having had her own fair share of injuries, and being a ‘stubborn’ athlete herself, Trish has ‘been there and done that’ and is ready to help you be there and do it too!

    Trish graduated from the prestigious University of Sydney in 2018, with first-class honours, and she has worked in the very demanding arena of private practice physiotherapy in Sydney ever since.
    Following her honours thesis on breast cancer and lymphoedema, Trish has developed a keen interest in all things women’s wellness.
    As a physiotherapist, Trish is attentive, caring and realistic.
    Her education is empowering, and her ‘hands on’ treatment is powerful.
    Couple this with her enthusiastic exercise prescription, and her patients are back to 110% in no time.
    Trish will brightly shine the light on your fastest path to recovery, and she will sit next to you and hold your hand whilst on the sometimes bumpy rollercoaster ride to ‘no pain’.

    Trish has experience working with elite athletes, the super busy city worker, valuable members of the general population, and she will tailor her treatment plan and timeline to the individual.
    Trish has experience working with both professional AFL and elite soccer teams.
    From the gruelling education system in Singapore, to growing up in China, and now excelling in Sydney, Trish can adapt to most any environment.
    Her personal love for fitness, and the body, drives her to continually try new sports and exercises.
    This is where Trish lives – she does not stop learning new techniques and new skills.
    For Trish, knowing enough is never enough, and knowing everything is not possible!
    “There is always more to learn”.

    When you see Serena, in addition to her ‘big’ kind smile, her soft warm laugh, her truly caring soul, & her gentle yet assertive touch (that can pack a punch when it needs to), you are getting to see a very talented physiotherapist that has also had a level of desire and determination required to represent Australia in rowing.

    Read More

    Serena knows precisely what it takes to prepare and challenge her body, in readiness to compete at the highest level. Serena understands what is required of an individual when they are selected to perform on the world stage and represent their country in a chosen sport. And when these unforgiving, relentless, super demanding physical efforts are asked of the body in a performance, injury so often follows. Serena knows only too well how it feels to be frustrated by pain, inhibited by pain, and to be worried by pain. Serena knows that pain is a driver, and she also knows how to get out of pain, so you too can trust Serena to help you out of pain.

    The best physios to see are those that have personally been where you are.

    The ones that have previously been ‘broken’ themselves.

    They know what you know, and they can feel what you are feeling.

    After calling time on rowing for Australia, Serena found continued physical challenge in hiking the Kokoda Trail, running half marathons and completing triathlons, and she very unselfishly coupled this with her ‘give back’ mindset and she has been using her training and exercise to now raise money for charities like Bear Cottage.

    You have one incredible physiotherapist in Serena.

    A caring and compassionate young lady that actively gives back to the community, whom personally understands the complexities of the pain experience, and who also knows peak physical performance and the work required to get such results.

    Serena will always begin with a deep, intellectual & inspiring chat where she listens to your unique story, and it is this story that will guide her accurate diagnosis.

    At Evoker, we most definitely have a firm (when needed) ‘hands on’, or manual therapy & exercise model, with respect to your very personal physio care plan, & Serena 110% embodies this.

    Serena’s mastery of manual therapy (at just the right pressure), coupled with her perfect exercise prescription and caring nature make her an absolute powerhouse physio.

    Serena’s passion for helping others will be the light source that constantly guides her path to supporting you back to 110% physical fitness.

    If physio can help you, you can bet that Serena can help you.

  • Who is on the Evoker team?

    Evoker is a hand-picked team of physiotherapists at our Martin Place clinic in Sydney’s CBD, led by our founder and Principal Physiotherapist, Adam Monteith. Alongside Adam are our Senior Physiotherapists, Yvonne McKenny and Matt Meoli, who have both been with us for eight years; our Sports Performance Physiotherapist, Ara Freeman; and our Spinal Pain & Sports Injury Physiotherapists, who bring sharp skills, energy and a real hunger to learn. Every person on this page has been chosen through a long, careful process. Different levels of experience, one shared standard: a genuine love of physio.

  • What are Adam Monteith's qualifications, and who should see him?

    Adam holds three degrees: a Bachelor of Exercise Science, a Bachelor of Physiotherapy and a Master of Health Science (Manipulative Physiotherapy) from the University of Sydney, completed in 2010, which he describes as the real game changer in his career. With more than 25 years in the profession and 15 years leading Evoker, he still works full time in the clinic and still loves it. Adam tends to see the second, third and even sixth opinions: people who have lived with pain for years without finding an answer. If your problem is long-standing or complex, that’s where his experience is most valuable, and as his appointments are limited, there may be a waitlist.

  • Who are Evoker's Senior Physiotherapists?

    Yvonne McKenny and Matt Meoli have both been with Evoker for eight years, and we trust them implicitly: their clinical reasoning, their hands-on skills and their exercise prescription. Matt has a particular strength in exercise prescription for shoulders, hips, knees and ankles, which makes him a great choice for sports injuries and stubborn joint problems. Yvonne’s strengths are women’s health, reformer Pilates and core strength, so she leads much of our strength work for spinal pain. Both are very capable of looking after persistent, complex problems as well as everyday injuries.

  • Who are Evoker's Spinal Pain & Sports Injury Physiotherapists?

    They’re hand-picked physiotherapists who usually join us with four or five years of experience and a real hunger to keep learning. From day one, we invest heavily in them, with in-house tutorials three times a week. They’re more than capable of handling any musculoskeletal problem, from back and neck pain to sports injuries. They also often have same-week availability, so they can see you quickly.

  • What does Evoker's Sports Performance Physiotherapist do?

    Ara Freeman is our Sports Performance Physiotherapist, and she bridges the gap between rehab and high performance. She’s skilled at the hands-on work that brings pain down, but she really comes alive once the exercise and strength work begins, especially for the lower limb: hips, knees, ankles and feet. She loves guiding people from the very first foundational exercises right through to higher-level, performance-focused training, and the more complex and challenging the program becomes, the more she thrives. If you’re a runner, an athlete or simply someone who wants to rebuild strength and get back to performing at your best, Ara is a great choice.

  • Can any Evoker physio treat my problem?

    Yes. Every physiotherapist on our team can treat any musculoskeletal problem, and all of them work to the same Evoker standard. The difference as you move up to our Senior and Principal physiotherapists is more experience: more years of listening to patients’ stories and solving difficult problems. If you’d like the most experienced eyes on a long-standing problem, you can choose a Senior or Principal physio, but any of our physiotherapists can take on persistent or complex problems too. And because we work closely as a team, your physio can always draw on a colleague’s expertise.

  • What do you look for when you hire a physio?

    Attitude first, not the CV. Above all, a new physio has to genuinely love the profession, and that’s something you can’t fake: we need to see it in how they talk about the job and the people they help. We look for people people, with real empathy and a desire to be the best physio they can be. Physiotherapy is a demanding degree to get into, but a strong academic record alone isn’t enough; we want people who were born to do this work. If the attitude is right, we can teach the rest, and we will.

  • Why do Evoker physios stay so long?

    Because people who love physio find a home here. Yvonne and Matt have each been with us for eight years, and when people do leave, it’s usually because they’re leaving Sydney or the country. We give our team the learning, trust and support to keep growing, in a clinic they’re proud to walk into every day. For you, that loyalty means familiar faces, continuity of care and a physio who knows your history.

  • Do Evoker's physiotherapists have sports experience?

    Plenty. Sport runs deep in our team: Adam’s first job as a physio was with the Brisbane Broncos, and he collaborates every year with elite sports medicine teams in the USA. Mark Mesiha has worked with Easts Rugby since 2018, and Ara Freeman brings more than 12 years as a competitive sprinter to the role of Sports Performance Physiotherapist. That sports physio experience shapes how we treat everyone, from weekend runners in the city to professional athletes.
