BEHIND THE STUDIO


Murray Strachan Founder of Premier Physio Studio – Physiotherapy in Bateau Bay, Central Coast

Meet Your Physio,
Murray Strachan

Murray is a highly experienced physiotherapist with a passion for helping clients recover from musculoskeletal injuries and conditions, orthopaedic rehabilitation, chronic low back pain and general health and wellbeing. He is dedicated to providing personalised care and effective treatment plans to optimise recovery and improve overall well-being.

Graduating from The University of Newcastle in 2019, Murray has accumulated experience across the private practice, hospital and surgical theater settings including with the Mako robot responsible for assisting surgeons during their joint replacement surgeries. He has enjoyed treating a wide variety of presentations and injuries and uses this knowledge in the development of a treatment plan that works for you. ​

Murray is passionate about empowering his patients with the education and tools necessary to optimise their health. His personal experience stems from recovering from sporting injuries during his days playing rugby union as well as a lengthy rehabilitation following a snowboarding injury where he sustained several spinal fractures. This all gives him a personal insight into the challenges of recovering from long-term injuries and fosters empathy and understanding in his appointments.

​Murray resides in Bateau Bay with his wife, Gabrielle, and their indoor cat. On the weekends you'll find Murray and his family enjoying the outdoors or at a local cafe for a coffee fix!
