Welcome to Evolvingphysio.

My name is Dale Hardes and I am an inspired musculoskeletal Physiotherapist who is simply here to open my mind and share my knowledge to those in need of honest up to date advice in the confusing world of health.

I am young in my profession and have been working in private practice for the past 5 years now. I graduated from Newcastle University in 2014. Since than I have worked at Hills Street Sports Medicine centre in Gosford, NSW working with various sporting conditions aswell as highly regarded and experienced orthopaedic surgeons. I have also worked with high level soccer teams such as Central Coast Mariners academy.  I  than joined Central Health alliance with Dr Burford and his team for a year treating the general public.

After this I was fortunate enough to work in a elite unit at RECON rehabilitation services for NSW police force. I was the physiotherapist in the northern region facility. Our team consisted of strength and conditioning coaches, physiotherapy, psychology and Dietitians. In a high performance facility which held a gold standard treatment model helping all units of officers.

This has all lead me now back to Central Health Alliance running my own practice Evolving Physiotherapy. I wish to take the level of care I have learnt through my journey and apply it to the public who have unfortunately been starved of  this quality of care.

My passion has drove me to study and specialise in areas such as pain and chronic pain management, football ( due to 15 years experience playing) and shoulders. However, as a practitioner treating the public I make it my duty to be up to date in all areas musculoskeletal to better myself as a professional.

There is much to learn for both myself and our profession of physiotherapy and I DO NOT claim to have all the answers (The more you know the more you realise we don’t know!!). However…. I quickly came to realise I had stumbled into a world full of misinformed, misunderstood and misguided management which is our ever EVOLVING world of healthcare today.

Have you been told that you have “a joint out of place” and we will ” put it back in” or spend session after session with your Treating physician getting nothing but passive hands on treatment or zapped by some machine?? if so you are being fed porkies… I strive to keep on top of current evidence and cut through the outdated poor advice still given by many health professionals in all allied health today.

I am a huge believer in evolution and how our bodies are still evolving and adapting to our current day. Therefore, my philosophy is for making you stronger….. physically, functionally and mentally in order to cater to your style of living.

My advice and practical skills are all based on the foundation of evidence based practice. 

I am open to any questions so feel free to shoot me an email Dalehardes28@gmail.com.

Happy readings
