Physiotherapist – Integrative / Invisible Illness
biio. Perth, Western Australia, Australia

You've seen how traditional systems treat physiotherapy as joints, symptoms, and protocols— as if bodies were linear and predictable.
But the people who arrive at Biio live at the intersections:
movement that collapses under autonomic dysregulation,
pain that intensifies when orthostatic tolerance falls,
strength that disappears when the immune system is inflamed,
coordination that shifts with hormones or sensory overload.
You've likely felt the frustration of working with presentations that never fit the textbook— being told it's "just deconditioning," or that hypermobility is a flexibility quirk, or that post-viral crashes are motivation problems.
At Biio, we built a system that finally matches the complexity of your craft.
Whether you've spent years deep in hypermobility and invisible illness, or you're early in your career and hungry to learn the mechanisms behind these presentations, you'll practice inside architecture that lets physiotherapy lead where the mechanism lives.
Onsite or remote. One day a week or full time.
We build around the right clinician, not the other way around.
What You'll Practice Here
You work where movement, stability, proprioception, autonomic function, and sensory load meet.
You'll see patients whose bodies behave differently under stressors most systems overlook:
the hypermobile shoulder that destabilises when heart rate rises,
the knee that collapses when blood pressure drops,
the gait pattern that shifts when sensory overload hits,
the dizziness that isn't vestibular at all—but circulatory.
Physiotherapy here is not symptom treatment.
It is mechanism work.
You find stability moments others miss.
You observe how connective tissue variation, autonomic drift, and neurodivergent processing shape movement.
Your observations help the team sequence interventions safely— timing exercise windows, adjusting autonomic protocols, supporting pacing, rerouting when load exceeds capacity.
If you're experienced, this is the depth you've been waiting for.
If you're learning, you will grow fast with senior physiotherapists, medical leads, and structured mentorship across pathways.
What a Week Feels Like
Your day begins in the living narrative—seeing how yesterday's fluids changed upright tolerance,
how last week's proprioceptive work affected subluxation frequency,
how the immune flare changed sensory load and movement confidence.
In session, you work slowly and precisely.
You test thresholds without crossing them.
You stabilise before strengthening.
You map how autonomic signals show up in movement: tremor, fatigue, coordination drift, breath pattern change.
Between sessions, your writing moves work forward.
You document a compensatory pattern; the exercise physiologist adjusts load the same afternoon.
You identify connective tissue instability; the medical lead routes for hormonal review.
You note sensory overwhelm from bright light; OT modifies pacing structures.
Some days you're onsite in Subiaco.
Some days you're remote, guiding someone in another state through movement that respects autonomic and sensory limits.
Your rhythm is flexible—1 day to full time—because good clinicians need sustainable systems too.
Why This Work Matters
Your work restores something people thought they lost forever:
Walking without bracing for collapse.
Lifting a kettle without subluxation.
Standing long enough to cook dinner.
Showering without losing the day.
Feeling safe in their own movement again.
For people dismissed for years, your physiotherapy is not just treatment— it is explanation, clarity, and the return of trust in their body.
You help turn unpredictability into progress.
Who Thrives Here
You're curious and observant.
You care about why movement fails under certain conditions, not just how to fix it.
You're comfortable saying "The mechanism is elsewhere."
You love working inside teams where reasoning is visible and collaboration is immediate.
You write clearly so others can act.
You value slow, precise gains over rushed sessions and volume metrics.
Whether you bring deep hypermobility or dysautonomia experience, or you're newer and want mentorship in these conditions,
you'll find room here to practice with integrity and depth.
What We Offer
Flexible work options: 1 day per week up to full time, onsite or fully remote.
45–90 minute appointments that allow real thinking.
Manageable caseloads with time to reason, not react.
Structured supervision and cross-pathway mentorship.
Expert team support across medical, OT, EP, dietetics, and psychology.
A digital workspace (biio.graphy) where your observations drive same-day action.
Protected documentation time.
Contractor or employment models with competitive arrangements.
Professional development and exposure to clinical patterns rarely seen in other settings.
Ready to Practice Physiotherapy at the Depth You've Always Known Was Possible?
If you're a physiotherapist who sees patterns others overlook—who knows complexity is real and change is possible—and who wants architecture that supports your craft, we'd like to meet you.
