About

Kinematics was founded on a simple belief: exceptional healthcare should not be reserved for elite athletes. That belief came from Pep’s experience in high-performance sport, where integrated, collaborative teams worked together to focus on the whole person rather than isolated symptoms.

It raised a clear question: why shouldn’t this standard exist in everyday healthcare? In reality, mainstream care is often fragmented, with people moving between providers, repeating their story, and receiving disconnected treatment without a clear long-term plan. Kinematics was created to change that.

When Pep and Rachel moved from New Zealand to Melbourne in 2016, they set out to build a clinic grounded in clinical excellence, genuine collaboration, and a focus on helping people perform better in everyday life.

What started as Pep treating patients in rented rooms has grown into a multidisciplinary healthcare and performance organisation supporting thousands each year, bridging rehabilitation, health optimisation, and performance in an integrated way.

At Kinematics, performance is broadly defined. For some it’s elite sport, but for many it’s living pain-free, training consistently, navigating pregnancy and postpartum with confidence, or simply feeling strong and capable in daily life. These are our everyday performers.

Our goal is to deliver a more connected, human, and effective approach to healthcare, focused on collaboration, prevention, and long-term outcomes.

We also aim to help lift the standard of care beyond our clinics through education, mentoring, and practitioner development, contributing to a more collaborative and progressive healthcare system.

At our core, we want people to feel understood, supported, and confident in their ability to improve.

While proud of what has been built since 2016, we see this as just the beginning. Because the opportunity ahead is not just to grow Kinematics, but to help redefine what great healthcare looks like, and support more people to become healthier, stronger, and more capable versions of themselves.

Thank you for trusting us with your health. We’re grateful to be part of your journey and to play a role in helping you perform at your best.
