About Almost Strong

Almost Strong is a Sydney based mobile physiotherapy service for older adults, founded by Patrick Sikombe (DPT, BSc) and focused on mobility, strength, balance, and helping people stay independent in the things that matter most to them.

Why I Do This

After years working in hospital rehabilitation, I saw how much more was possible when patients had time, consistency and genuine support, not just a session and a handout.

I wanted to do it differently.

Almost Strong is built on the opposite: time to actually get to know you, sessions that are never rushed, and ongoing support in the comfort of your own home so you always know what to do next, and who to call when you need help.

How I work

I work with a small number of clients at any time, usually 10 to 15, and most stay with me for several months, sometimes longer. That's by design. It means I get to know you properly: your history, your goals, what a good week looks like for you.

Sessions are never rushed. Whether we're working on:

• Getting back to gardening
• Walking confidently to see friends or go to the shops
• Supporting recovery after surgery
• Building enough strength and balance to keep managing independently at home

We go at your pace, and we keep coming back to what matters most to you.

My goal is simple: to be someone you can count on each week. Someone who listens, doesn't rush, and is genuinely invested in how you're going.

The Store

Working closely with clients every day, I'm constantly asked for equipment recommendations - what to use at home, what actually helps, what's worth buying.

Every product in this store has come from those conversations. If it's here, I've recommended it, seen it used, and believe in what it does. Nothing is here by accident.

My philosophy is simple: keep it simple, doable, and achievable. The best equipment is the kind you actually use.

A proudly Australian small business. Built to serve our community.
