My name is Mick McGovern, and I’m a Townsville-born and based physiotherapist with expertise in the management of complex musculoskeletal injuries, persistent pain and sports injuries. I’ve spent over a decade gathering knowledge and experience in holistic approaches to managing injuries and in particular, pain. My interest in these issues has led me to physiotherapy and pain management clinics in south Queensland, England and eventually to open PhysioPM, in Townsville. I feel that people with chronic and persistent pain are regularly misunderstood and thrown into the “too hard” basket by clinicians, and in particular physiotherapists. I’ve spent the last five years in PhysioPM trying to flip that approach. Managing complex pain requires considerable understanding, patience and consistency - traits that underpin my physio management strategy. Aside from this, I thoroughly enjoy working with athletes, anywhere on the scale from beginner to elite, and have extensive knowledge in weightlifting, running, rugby and AFL injuries. I love working with athletes who may have long term injuries or athletic pain that might be impacting their performance. On weekends you’ll find me on the sidelines of local Townsville AFL fields assessing and helping the Hermit Park Tigers AFC. Outside of my clinic, I spend time running with my dog Beans, weightlifting, travelling and sampling delicious food and beverage with my wife. https://www.physiopm.com.au/faqs daily 0.75 2025-06-04
