Maybe you spend your days on the tools, on your feet or at a desk, and by the end of the week your back or shoulders are telling you about it. You are not alone, and it does not mean you have been doing anything wrong. Evolution Medical Care is a healthcare clinic in Penrith offering a wide range of treatments. We have been caring for people across the area since 2010, and St Marys is a straightforward trip west along the same corridor many of you already use.

Getting from St Marys to Penrith

If you are driving, the M4 Western Motorway or the Great Western Highway will take you west into Penrith.

If you prefer the train, St Marys is on the T1 Western Line, and Penrith is a few stops further along. From Penrith station, the clinic is in the town centre, directly across from the Penrith RSL.

Parking is behind our building, with up to 13 spaces reached from O’Farrell Lane, and there is free 1-hour parking on the clinic’s side of Castlereagh Street. See our directions page for the detail.

Work, commutes and the body

Whether you commute east towards the city, work locally or run a business that keeps you moving, it is common for the body to carry that load. These are some of the issues that people in working households ask us about, and each page linked here explains what treatment involves:

  • Lower back pain from lifting, bending or long periods of sitting.
  • Sciatica that travels from the back into the leg.
  • Shoulder pain from repetitive or overhead work.
  • Neck pain after long stretches at a screen or in a vehicle.
  • Muscle soreness from physical work.

If a work injury or a road accident is behind your pain, we also work with funded care pathways. Call us and we will talk you through what we need.

Treatments we offer

We offer a wider range of care than many people expect. After your first assessment, your practitioner will suggest what suits you:

We also treat people through funded care, including Support at Home, the NDIS, workers compensation and CTP claims.

What happens when you arrive

On your first visit you will be asked about your health history, what a normal week looks like and what you most want to be able to do again. Your practitioner will assess before treating, and will explain what they suggest and why. Wearing something loose makes treatment easier, and it helps if you have your referral or scan results handy. Details are on our first appointment page.

Finding a time that works

Because appointment times fill at different rates across the week, the best way to see what is open is to book online. If you do not see a time that suits, call us and ask. It is a short conversation, not a hurdle.

If you would like to explore how a personalised, science-based approach may support your back, shoulders and neck, we would be glad to help. Book an appointment online or call us on (02) 4709 6727. We look forward to discussing how we can help in your situation.
