biio. is an integrated multidisciplinary clinical service for patients with complex, overlapping, and often invisible illness — hypermobility spectrum disorders, hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS/HSD), dysautonomia, chronic fatigue, chronic pain, and the syndromes that travel alongside them. After building our Perth practice, we are opening a Melbourne clinic — and we are hiring the founding physiotherapy team.
We are seeking a Physiotherapist with experience in hypermobility, dysautonomia and complex chronic pain to join biio.'s new Melbourne clinic as a foundational clinical voice in our hands-on rehabilitation team.
These patients have been told they are "just deconditioned." Given graded exercise programs that triggered post-exertional crashes. Discharged for "not engaging" when their nervous system was overwhelmed. Told to strengthen joints that subluxate on the way to the gym. They need a physiotherapist who knows the difference between deconditioning and dysautonomia, between hypermobility and weakness, and who can build a program the body can actually do.
Before each session, the picture is already in front of you. Specialist rheumatology, neurology and cardiac NP notes, validated screening tools, autonomic data, prior physio history, and current pathway-team plans — all in biio.'s integrated digital workspace, the biiography. You arrive ready to treat, not to take a history from scratch.
You'll work alongside biio.'s consultant rheumatologists, neurologist, paediatrician and cardiac nurse practitioner team via telehealth, with your in-clinic Melbourne colleagues — physiotherapy, exercise physiology, and a growing local MDT — building care plans together. Admin, correspondence and referrals are handled by our support team.
Most uniquely, you will change lives here. Hypermobile and dysautonomic patients have been told for years that movement is the answer, then handed programs that made everything worse. A physiotherapist who understands why doesn't just write a program — they hand a patient back the relationship with their body that healthcare took from them.
Engagement is via contract, part-time or full-time agreement, with competitive remuneration reflecting the specialist nature of this work.
