Evolving Physiotherapy represents the new age of healthcare built on the foundations of the most upto date and evidenced based approach for managing your presenting issue. The standard of outdated care is all too common and has lead to some musculoskeletal conditions and chronic pain
being one of our greatest healthcare burdens. Our goal is to be different than what you have been offered from this past model of care. We have the tools to show you there is hope and you can learn to master your pain and your body.
Sure we can offer you massage and other temporary pain relief techniques. But what if we told you we can also show you your own, more powerful management strategies. You can learn about your pain and learn how to master it so you can get back to the things you enjoy and love doing. This is
nothing complex, magical or some special technique. This is just evidence and knowledge and we want to share it with you. Our process is simple, build on these and build your path to your goals:
- Knowledge
- Strength and Resilience
- Sustainability
Don’t let what your scan says or how it feels change the outcome you can achieve. We understand pain sucks and you may think you are too damaged to achieve your goals but we are here to say we can help you get more.
My name is Dale Hardes and I am the Head Physiotherapist and Business owner at Evolving Physiotherapy. My passion is with musculoskeletal management and pain. I am particularly passionate about chronic pain, the shoulder complex and football related areas, but my experience has given me adequate knowledge to cover any musculoskeletal complaint you have.
I have been in this business for 6 years now and in that time have worked in a sports clinic, out of Central Health Alliance, with the Defence Force and part of a unique multidisciplinary unit in Newcastle with the Police Force. I have also done work with a variety of soccer and sporting teams including Central Coast Mariners Academy.
All this experience and my drive to keep learning and offering nothing but what research states is our best approach has built the foundations of Evolving Physiotherapy. I have experienced not just average, but the better options and came to realise that the majority of healthcare offered is outdated and below the gold standard. We are here to bridge that gap and offer you options that are supported and proven to give you what you are searching for which is faster, more sustainable options with honest quality advice. We don’t exist as a business for financial gains, our morals are aligned with your goals.

After my 20+ years within the ADF, I have sustained injuries that required the treatment of a Physiotherapists. During this time I have not seen the amount of passion and dedication towards a clients recovery as much as I have seen within Dale Hardes. Dale has supported me in so many ways that I can not count. He is dedicated to helping you achieve your goals no matter how small or big they are. I know that I have been extremely lucking to have found Dale to help me throughout my rehabilitation after being medically discharged from the ADF. Thank you so much Dale.
I have been seeing Dale now on and off for almost 2 years for what can only be described as a difficult ankle injury. I have seen a number of physio’s in trying to help me recover and Evolving Physiotherapy is by far the most proficient in evidenced based treatment and in the contemporary methods of treatment. Unlike many physio’s Dale won’t leave you on pointless machines so he can double book patients and he will move you into self-management as early as he can. Dale has always taken the time to explain where my treatment was heading and will take any concerns or restrictions on board. Besides the professional and effective manner your treatment will be conducted you will also genuinely enjoy the bedside manner on offer from the team. can’t recommend Dale and the Evolving Physiotherapy team enough.
I have worked with Dale in a full-time capacity for 12 months and we continue to work together in a referral sense. I can say with absolute certainty that I have not worked with many clinicians of Dale’s calibre. Dale’s approach to injury management combines best evidence with practical and sensible movement-based treatment. Dale’s personable approach to treatment ensures that every client he sees gets an experience that is unique not only their injury, but also their individual circumstances. From a strength and conditioning perspective, Dale’s advantage over so many other physiotherapists is he wants you to be moving pain free as soon as possible and facilitates this in a manner that is encouraging and appropriate for your movement history and movement goals.
