Meet Ben Darcy
Physiotherapist on the Gold Coast
Benjamin (Ben) Darcy is a physiotherapist at Harbour Town Doctors in Biggera Waters. Ben studied physiotherapy at Griffith University here on the Gold Coast before moving into hospital-based physiotherapy, where he completed a graduate program in the intensive care unit at The Prince Charles Hospital in Brisbane.
From the hospital Ben moved into private practice, working across Melbourne, Ballarat and Brisbane. Along the way he has provided sports physiotherapy for the Brisbane Broncos reserves and a number of other teams, so he is used to helping people get back to full function, not just out of pain. That matters as much for a weekend runner or a tradie as it does for a footballer.
Ben is formally trained in musculoskeletal physiotherapy. His hands-on approach includes manual and manipulative therapy, dry needling and western acupuncture, and vibration and electrotherapy, combined with an exercise program you can keep doing at home. He has also been building his experience in occupational physiotherapy, with a focus on supporting patients through WorkCover and CTP claims.

- CTP (motor vehicle accident) claims

Physio and GP Care
Under One Roof
Having a physiotherapist inside Harbour Town Doctors means your GP and physio can work together on the same injury. That is especially useful for WorkCover injuries, where your GP issues the certificates and Ben handles the rehab, and for patients managing ongoing pain through chronic disease management.
Ben can also help after a pre-employment medical flags a movement or strength issue you want to work on. If weight is adding load to sore joints, our dietitian Hossein Khosravi can work alongside your rehab.
