About Us

Perseverance Physiotherapy was established in 2021 by our Head Physiotherapist, Vish Liyanage. He wanted to establish a mobile physiotherapy practice that prioritised continuity of care and a personalised approach for all clients. As Vish is our sole physiotherapist, he can guarantee that he will follow each client throughout their entire rehabilitation and will work tirelessly towards their personal goals.

Vish graduated from Monash University with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy (Hons.). After graduating, he worked extensively in youth and women’s soccer, covering numerous national tournaments and running hundreds of personalised rehabilitation sessions. This led to him being Lead Academy Physiotherapist at Melbourne Victory FC as well as working extensively with the A-League Mens and Womens team.

Concurrently, Vish also worked in residential aged-care and community disability. Vish brought his individualised approach from sports to the ageing community and consistently achieved great outcomes for those with chronic musculoskeletal and neurological disability. He most enjoyed helping clients to regain mobility after illness/injury, working closely with families to achieve personal goals and improving community access for clients.

Outside of work, Vish is a father to Miles and his Swiss Shepherd, Lloyd. Vish’s wife, Shalini, also assists tremendously with running the day-to-day of Perseverance Physiotherapy and is also a trained embryologist. She is clearly the brains of the operation! We love for our clients to get to know our family, just as we get to know theirs
