Independent & Local — Open from 7am
Nordic Physio is an independent physio clinic in the heart of Gladstone, at Shop 11 in the Palms Shopping Fair on Goondoon Street. Appointments are one-on-one with your treating physio for the full session, and the clinic opens at 7:00am Monday to Friday so treatment fits around shift work rather than instead of it.
We work with NDIS participants (plan-managed and self-managed), DVA cardholders, WorkCover Queensland claims, and Medicare Chronic Condition Management referrals — and we bulk bill every CDM appointment, so there is no out-of-pocket cost. On-site HICAPS means private health fund rebates are claimed instantly at the time of your visit.
Treatment combines hands-on manual therapy and exercise prescription with dry needling, shockwave therapy and therapeutic ultrasound where clinically appropriate. Home visits are available for patients who cannot reasonably get to the clinic. Same-day appointments are often available — call (07) 4962 1255.

Personalised Care That Moves You
Every appointment at Nordic Physio is one-on-one with your physio for the full session. Treatment starts with a proper assessment of your condition, your movement and what you actually need to get back to, and you leave with a plan you understand and can follow at home.
The clinic is led by Eric Wahlander, a Swedish-trained physio registered with Ahpra since 2019 with 13 years of clinical experience. We treat musculoskeletal injury, lower back and neck pain, sciatica, shoulder and knee problems, sports injury, plantar fasciitis, post-operative rehabilitation and chronic conditions. Swedish and English are both spoken.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What should I expect during my first visit?
You’ll receive a full assessment of your condition, movement, and goals, followed by a personalised treatment plan explained clearly.
2. Do I need a referral from a doctor?
Not for private physio. You can book directly. DVA and Medicare CDM appointments need a GP referral, and WorkCover claims need a work capacity certificate from your doctor. NDIS participants don’t need a referral.
3. What conditions do you treat?
We treat back and neck pain, sports and workplace injuries, arthritis, post-surgical rehab, neurological and chronic pain conditions.
4. Do you offer NDIS, DVA, and Medicare services?
Yes. We see plan-managed and self-managed NDIS participants (we are not an NDIS-registered provider), DVA cardholders, WorkCover Queensland claims, and Medicare CDM referrals, which we bulk bill.
5. What should I wear to my appointment?
Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy movement and access to the area being treated.
6. Do you bulk bill?
We bulk bill every Medicare Chronic Condition Management (CDM) appointment referred by your GP, so there is no out-of-pocket cost. Private consultations are $130 initial and $120 subsequent, with HICAPS on site for health fund claims.
