Services
Jacksonville's premiere specialty physical therapy center for the treatment of orthopedic, spine, and sports related injuries. Our physical therapy center specializes in the treatment of cervical headaches, dizziness and imbalance, back and pelvic pain, and arm and leg injuries. Our clinic practices what is now known as the Maitland-Australian Concept.
My experience at Australian Physiotherapy has been wonderful. I was referred by my neurologist because of migraines, neck pain, and facial/arm hyperplasia. After four weeks of therapy three times per week, I am thrilled to say all symptoms are either gone or very isolated/minor incidents. Range of motion in my neck improved dramatically.
Our specialties include headaches/neck pain, whiplash, back pain, orthopedic arm and leg pain, and balance/dizziness disorders. We also offer treatments for work and sports related injuries. Headaches are a common painful disorder. Experts now report that 90% of Americans will experience or have experienced a tension headache (HA).
We are frequently asked why we are called Australian Physiotherapy specialists and what makes our therapy different than all the other therapy centers in town. The answer is two part. First, we use the most recent evidenced based therapeutic exercise programs from around the world. Australia and Europe have contributed greatly to our understanding of how to treat neck and back pain.
Low back pain can be a complex disorder that could include an injury to a muscle, a disc, or a joint in the back. This pain could cause sciatica, or a radiating pain down the back of the legs. In the most severe cases, low back pain related to disc herniation could lead to what is known as radiculopathy.

Marrow with Australian Physiotherapy is absolutely the best physical therapist out there! If you are willing to give his therapy program a chance, it will be life changing. Here’s my story: Mother of two girls in which both were 10 pounds at birth. I also work in healthcare. Those two things along with overall bad posture, created neck pain and headaches that were unbearable. I’m in my early 30’s and couldn’t believe I was a victim of chronic pain that ate away at my life. I was so negative in the beginning , worrying that I would have to live my life like this forever. But thankfully,

Marrow is a magician when it comes to physio therapy. He is truly skilled, educated and passionate to help people improve (even at the risk of low return customer base..lol). I was fortunate to be referred to him many years ago for pain management. He not only helped with pain management, but taught me preventative techniques. I never encountered anyone who truly helped address preventative self care as Marrow has done. It still takes work, but he was definitely the right person to help guide the journey effectively. I am glad I don't need his service often, but I owe him many years without pain

Dr. Burnette is passionate and knowledgeable about the physiotherapy he provides, and the exercises he gives are in fact quite helpful.
If you want a place filled with Christian music, where Donald Trump is openly celebrated, and you want to gab with Dr. Burnette about sports and how great Donald Trump is, then this is the place for you.
Dr. Burnette insists on opening conversations about his opinions. On my last visit, he insisted on discussing Trump. Don't get me wrong, I engaged the conversation, because he is surprisingly capable of hearing contrary opinions without rising to anger. But,

While the skillsets offered here are excellent, two issues have made us change providers. The owner of the center regularly talks politics with patients, angering those of with differing views who can hear the conversations in nearby treatment rooms. But most importantly his receptionist REFUSES TO WEAR A MASK. In this era where health care providers are supposed to be maximizing patient safety, this is unacceptable. Her attitude about it borders on belligerent. We can't recommend this business until we see some significant cultural changes.

Sorry to hear Scott Westerman's comments below but good to note that he was never a patient at Australian Physiotherapy Specialists. All patients and staff are currently required to wear masks during therapy sessions. Moreover, his loved one being treated at our clinic made an amazing recovery and even wrote a glowing THANK YOU card to her referring physician on her last day. We wish them both the best.

After 4 spinal injections that offered no relief whatsoever and another invasive procedure scheduled, I ran into a patient of Marrow's who felt that he might be able to help me also. I immediately scheduled an appointment, which turned out to be a life changing decision. The stabbing back and hip pain that I was experiencing was preventing me from sleeping, walking, playing tennis and working out.
Life was pretty miserable and none of the Orthopedic Specialists who had treated me could offer any other recommendations, short of surgery. This sounds dramatic, but my treatments at Australian Physiotherapy

I came to Marrow Burnette and this practice with terrible sciatic nerve pain due to a herniated disc. Any movement, even shifting while lying down was painful. My entire life was impacted. I'd been to physical therapists before and Marrow's practices are completely different. Now, after working with Marrow for less than two months, I am pain-free. He changed my entire outlook on lower back health. I'm finished with my official physical therapy with Marrow but I continue to do the exercises that he provided and practice his methods religiously on a daily basis. When you find something that works

Marrow is amazing. Before going to Australian PT I had found the same old PT everywhere I went, with limited results. The very first day I went I got amazing results. What he does here is very different than anywhere you have ever been and it is very comfortable and effective. I highly recommend this practice.

Marrow is an athlete himself in some pretty tough sports, so he understands the needs of aging athletes and weekend warriors like me. I had hip pain so severe that I had a hard time dressing myself, much less exercising or training; I was convinced that nothing short of surgery would fix it. Marrow had me pain-free in a single session. I'm a middle-aged athlete in combat sports, so I've been through a few orthopedic surgeries and a lot of PT, and Australian is the best PT experience I've had.

Marrow Burnette is the best trained, most compassionate, and professional Physical Therapist I have been treated by in all my world wide travels over 25 years.
His practice is an absolute gem in this City for Health Support, Condition Resolution and Improvement, and Pain Management!!
He has helped me recover from minor injuries and incidents related to a permanent medical condition in merely days and weeks instead of weeks, months, and even years.
He has also educated me on routines that have helped prevent re-injuries and frequent relapses. My personal focus is staying drug free and maintain
