The BlackBelt Mindset
In Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, the black belt is more than just a symbol of technical mastery. It represents years of discipline, resilience, humility, and continuous learning. It's earned through struggle, adaptation, and the relentless pursuit of improvement.
​
At BlackBelt Rehab, we bring that same mindset to physiotherapy. Just like the journey to a black belt, our approach to care is built on precision, accountability, and long-term development. We don't chase shortcuts. We help you build solid foundations, tailored plans, and sustainable results for everyone we support.
"We focus on what works and we care about delivering long lasting results"
Our Approach
Our philosophy is grounded in accurate diagnosis, direct communication, and meaningful results. We use advanced tools like dynamometry strength testing, movement analysis, shockwave therapy, and custom mobile-friendly exercise software to speed recovery and guide your rehab.
​
We're also hands-on clinicians with a strong manual therapy foundation. We value having clear treatment goals and doing what works to achieve long-lasting results, not what's trendy.

Our Story
BlackBelt Rehab grew from two worlds coming together: high-level sport and life on the mats.
​
Over more than two decades as a physiotherapist, our work has spanned high performing clinical settings in Brazil, Olympic and Commonwealth Games environments, and years supporting combat sports athletes on competition floors. Along the way came advanced training in trauma, orthopaedics, and sports physiotherapy, shaping an approach that values structure, progression, and long-term results.
​
But this clinic was not built from textbooks or clinics alone. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has been part of life since the early 1990s, first in Barra da Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro, and later in Australia. Like many practitioners, the journey has not been linear, interrupted by injuries, surgeries, time away from the mats for life reasons, and the challenges of returning again and again.Those experiences matter and helped shapping our practice.
​
Having lived through multiple injuries and surgeries, we understand what it feels like to lose momentum, identity, and confidence, and how important the right support is when rebuilding. Jiu-jitsu is seen not just as a sport, but as a way of life: a teacher of discipline, resilience, humility, and connection.
​
That blend of clinical experience and lived understanding is what defines BlackBelt Rehab and how we care for the jiu-jitsu community and anyone who wants to move pain-free, train, and live better.
