Hi, I'm Nitin. I lead the physiotherapy team here, at GRIT Physio and Podiatry in Glen Iris. I've had two back surgeries of my own. I know what it feels like to be in pain and to wonder if I'll ever feel like myself again. That experience made me realise how important it is to get rehab right from the start. Since then I've been lucky enough to work with some of the best in the industry, from elite athletes at Cricket Victoria right through to working alongside top surgeons at Epworth Hospital. And now I bring all of that into Grit Physio and Podiatry. We don't rely on guesswork, we assess the root cause of your pain. With precision so we can deliver treatment that actually works. We treat every patient like we treat our own family. This is physiotherapy, but not as you've known it. This is GRIT.
To give people the kind of care we’d want for our own family.
We listen properly. We take the time to get it right. We treat the person, not just the problem.
Everything we do, from how we assess to how we follow up, is built around doing the job properly. No shortcuts. No guesswork. Just care that’s thorough, thoughtful, and made to last.
We aim to be the clinic people trust when nothing else has helped, because we focus on getting the full picture, doing the deep work, and creating plans that actually make a difference.
We’re building a model of care that’s detailed, consistent, and focused on long-term results, not just short-term fixes.
In 2019 GRIT opened its door for the first time. (The related photo is the original clinic)
One clinic room. One physio. One mission.
To raise the standard of care and to never let a patient feel unseen again. Nitin started by dedicating time and attention to every patient. Unrushed appointments became the norm. Every treatment plan was thorough and personalized. It wasn’t long before the vision grew.
Real rehabilitation doesn’t happen in isolation, and excellence doesn’t happen alone.
Nitin knew that to truly raise the standard, GRIT couldn’t remain a one-person show.
That’s when Div joined the journey – not just as a podiatrist, but as a brother, a clinician, and a natural extension of the same mindset. Together, the two brothers were obsessed with detail, driven by outcomes, and never satisfied with average.
Both Nitin and Div shared the belief that great care is built, not rushed — and that when you combine systems, passion, and accountability, patients truly thrive. By joining forces, they reinforced a culture where doing things properly wasn’t just a goal, but a non-negotiable standard.
Since then, GRIT has grown into a team of over 25 professionals (past and present) —physiotherapists, podiatrists, dietitians, speech pathologists, allied health assistants, and a world-class admin and leadership team.
We’ve expanded from Glen Iris to homes across Melbourne. We’ve grown from private practice into aged care, NDIS, and multidisciplinary streams. And we’ve delivered over 65,000 sessions to help more than 10,000 patients move, feel, and live better.
We still treat every patient like family. We still believe in doing things properly. And we’re still chasing the same goal—to get it right, every time.
GRIT isn’t just a name. It’s the foundation of how we work, how we think, and how we treat. These four pillars shape every appointment, every plan, and every outcome we chase.
We grow every day—so you can too. Our team constantly trains, upskills, and sharpens its craft. Every session reflects that growth through clearer plans and better results for you.
We don’t just aim to reduce pain. We help you rebuild what matters—your movement, your confidence, and your ability to trust your body again.
We don’t chase trends—we invest in tools that give clarity and outcomes. From strength testing to real-time rehab tracking, we use tech that helps us treat better and helps you move forward faster.
We’re not here to help you “manage.” We’re here to help you thrive—at work, at sport, at home, or wherever life takes you next.
Here’s what every patient gets at GRIT—no matter who you are, what you’re here for, or where you’re starting from
Long, in-depth initial consults We take the time to understand your full story, not just your pain point
Hands-on treatment with purpose We don’t just talk—we assess, test, and treat with clarity
