Chelsey Sidaway
Senior Physiotherapist
Chelsey Sidaway hails from the beautiful island of Barbados, where she was born and raised. She graduated in 2014 from The University of the West Indies, Mona campus, in physiotherapy. Her clinical experience spans across public hospitals and private healthcare facilities, offering her in-depth exposure to musculoskeletal, neurological, and cardiorespiratory physiotherapy. This diverse training has helped shape her holistic and patient-centred approach to rehabilitation.
Her early career saw her thrive in private practice settings, quickly earning the trust of clients and colleagues alike. Chelsey went on to run her own successful clinic for six years, building a loyal clientele through her focus on delivering personalised care and achieving meaningful results.
In 2023, Chelsey made the move to the UK to broaden her professional experience. While based in Lincoln, she designed and implemented fall prevention programmes for older adults and became a respected educator, teaching acupuncture and dry-needling techniques to other healthcare professionals across the country.
Chelsey became part of the Sydney Physio Clinic CBD team in January 2025, starting working at our Randwick location weeks later. She brings with her a wealth of knowledge and hands-on expertise, particularly in musculoskeletal physiotherapy. Her special interests include myofascial release, Mulligan’s techniques, exercise rehabilitation, shockwave therapy, acupuncture, dry-needling, and treating sports-related injuries. Her caring nature and evidence-based approach make her a favourite among patients.
Outside of her clinical work, Chelsey enjoys expressing her creativity through painting and experimenting in the kitchen. She leads an active lifestyle, regularly running, working out, and travelling to experience different cultures and cuisines.
BOOK AN APPOINTMENT WITH CHELSEY
THE MOVEMENT CENTRE
What to expect
If you have never been to a physio before, or you have but have never seen Chelsey Sidaway before, then you may be wondering what to expect of your first appointment with her.
Whatever the reason it is important to Chelsey that she understands what has driven you to book an appointment with her. So she can work with you to address exactly what you are looking for.
This requires some time to sound out the reason behind booking the appointment, meaning asking a few related and relevant questions to dive a bit deeper, making sure nothing is missed that could impact the treatment process.
Objectively time spent “assessing” the injury, posture, movement… Whatever it may be will vary.
Sometimes it will be clear what is required following the initial discussion and “treatment” whatever that may entail can commence immediately. Other times forming a plan of attack regarding treatment can understandably take more time.
Chelsey is well aware many people booking a physio do not need much help at all. Often patients are just looking to feel or move a bit better than when they came in. However should a more thorough and thoughtful approach be necessary Chelsey is ready for the challenge.

PHYSIOTHERAPY | BECOME PAIN FREE & ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS
We get clear on your goals
All our physios at The Movement Centre revel in the complexity and individuality of the human body. There is no such thing as a silly reason to see a physio, the body is a wonderful thing, but sometimes it does weird things (ours included). Regardless of what the underlying need for physiotherapy is, from providing peace of mind through performing quick checkups, helping people recover from little tweaks, or knuckling down for some serious rehab following surgery, significant injury or bouts or strong pain we want to be involved.
The strength of the physio is in the pack… Individually we have all spent years building our knowledge and skill base and as a team we come with decades of varied experience under our belts. Access one, access us all, our goal at The Movement Centre is to help you to move the correct way, to move pain free and to move for a lifetime.
