At Recovery First, recovery starts with understanding you — your pain, your movement, your lifestyle, and your goals.
Led by Founder and Director Sameera Madushanka, Recovery First was created with a simple purpose: to help people move better, recover with confidence, and feel supported throughout their treatment journey.
Sameera leads a team that shares one commitment — genuine, personalised care that treats the person, not just the symptom.
Book an appointmentRecovery First began with a belief that good recovery is personal. Too often, people in pain are rushed through appointments and handed a generic plan. We wanted to do it differently — to slow down, listen properly, and build treatment around the individual in front of us.
From two welcoming clinics in Carrum Downs and South Melbourne, our team combines hands-on physiotherapy, clear communication and practical rehabilitation support. Whether you are recovering from an injury, managing ongoing pain, or simply want to move more freely, we are here to guide you at every step — with honest advice, realistic goals, and genuine care from start to finish.
We take time to understand your symptoms, history and what matters to you.
A thorough physical assessment to find the real drivers of your pain.
Treatment shaped around your body, lifestyle and goals.

Strategies to keep you moving well and prevent setbacks.
