Bodyflex was first opened in Brunswick, Melbourne in 2006 by Occupational Therapist Travis Jenkins BSc (OT). 

The practice quickly grew through Travis' passion to work with the elite Melbourne Dance community.

Travis decided to leave his loyal following of Melbourne patients and head back to his hometown of Perth where he set up Bodyflex in Cloverdale.


The practice continued to flourish and grow in Cloverdale. After five years in its first Perth home, Travis decided to move Bodyflex into its current location in Wembley.


Since opening in the new location, Bodyflex has welcomed Occupational Therapist Kathryn Phillips to the clinical team and Practice Manager Alana Perchard, both bringing their personal values and visons to Bodyflex.


We look forward to adding to this history with all of our patients in the years to come.



At Bodyflex we try to create a caring and compassionate environment by spending time and getting to know you and your unique needs.
