National Group Director, Jason Smith, founded Back In Motion (BIM) physiotherapy in 2000 as a small in-home practice,
using a single-car garage as his consulting room. The BIM Health Group has since expanded exponentially, to become
Australia’s first physiotherapy franchise, with more than 50 established practices comprising over 300 employees spanning
four States – Victoria, South Australia, Queensland, and Western Australia.
BIM is currently a leading provider of physiotherapy and complementary health services in Australia.
Offering expert physiotherapy services of the highest quality, BIM is dedicated to helping our clients achieve optimal
and life-long physical health and wellbeing. BIM caters for the physical, social, psychological, and even spiritual needs of
each client, by offering an extensive range of complementary health services such as clinical Pilates, massage, personal
training, dry needling, hydrotherapy, Gaitscan, Whole Body Vibration Therapy (WBVT), and women’s health. It is part of
the BIM belief that holistic interventions within treatment programs are critical to the achievement of long-term results.
All BIM practices proactively engage in the provision of education and advice on all matters relating to physical health
and wellbeing to people of all ages. From exercise and injury prevention, to pre and postnatal exercise, incontinence
and even school bag fitting, BIM actively seeks opportunities to share its wealth of knowledge on physical health to
improve the general health and wellbeing of the community.
BIM’s drive for success is fuelled by its vision, ‘To be to be the most loved and trusted provider of physio and related
services Australia wide.’ The application of this principle extends beyond the provision of physiotherapy and related
services. An unwavering commitment to charity and the community is integral to the BIM ethic and culture.
By seeking to positively influence the lives of those less fortunate, the company is dedicated to providing resources,
services and financial support to various charities, welfare organisations, church-works, community groups and
medical programs in developing countries.
Back In Motion established the SOS (Success or Significance) Foundation in 2008 – a not-for-profit public benevolent
institution funded by a percentage of the BIM Health Group commercial profits. The foundation is designed to use the
‘successes’ of the BIM Health Group members for those less fortunate, through the provision of funds, food, shelter,
health services, guidance, encouragement or kindness.
BIM is also the major supporter of the Southern Cross Kids Camp (SCKC) – a charity designed to create happy memories
for children throughout Australia and New Zealand who are, or have been, victims of abuse, neglect, or abandonment.
BIM provides funding and administrative support to these life-changing camps, and has donated and fitted out a national
premises to house the SCKC charity.
Some of the community activities, fundraisers and sporting events that BIM has participated in, include the Leukaemia
Foundation World’s Greatest Shave, Bush fire relief, Oxfam Trailwalker, The Age Run Melbourne, the Australian Corporate
Games, and Ozanam House – part of the St. Vincent De Paul Society that provides services to homeless and marginalised
Melbournians.
BIM is a multi award-winning company. It has won the Franchise Council of Australia’s 2008 Emerging Franchise System
of the Year, as part of the MYOB Excellence in Franchising Awards as well as the 2009 Award for Social Responsibility.
Additionally, BIM was listed in the top 10 fastest growing franchises in Australia for 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 by Business
Review Weekly (BRW) Magazine, and it continues to expand its services and practices around Australia. BIM franchises
have also clinched prestigious business awards. Notably, the BIM Health Group in Wantirna South, Bayswater and Epping in
Melbourne, secured top honours as Business of the Year in the Leader Business Achiever Awards.
If BIM's success to date is a benchmark for achieving the vision 'To be the most loved and trusted provider of physiotherapy
and related services Australia wide' then the Back In Motion Health Group is certainly heading in the right direction.
