About The Addison
The Addison was founded by physiotherapists Ben Marinozzi, Steve Velovski, and Eddie Farah, who together bring over 50 years of experience in elite sport, rehabilitation and supporting active individuals.
The trio’s paths first crossed at the South Sydney Rabbitohs, Eddie and Steve worked together in the NRL, while Ben also worked within the Rabbitohs system, assisting with both the NRL squad and the club’s junior pathways program. Over the years, the three developed a shared approach to care shaped by precision, collaboration, and a genuine understanding of athletic performance from emerging talent to the highest professional level.
They have since continued to work alongside some of Australia’s leading sporting organisations, including the latest involvement with the NSW State of Origin program as well as within successful private practice clinics in Sydney.
These experiences have informed a unified philosophy: the standard of care provided to elite athletes should be available to everyone.
The Addison brings this philosophy into the community. The clinic integrates physiotherapy, massage, sports medicine, and dietetic services in a connected, multidisciplinary model designed to support clear diagnosis, confident treatment planning, and long-term results.
With strong ties to Marrickville and the broader Inner West, the team remains deeply connected to the community they serve. Every detail of The Addison reflects a commitment to expertise, trust, and outcomes that stand the test of time.
Our Approach
At The Addison, we take an evidence-based and whole-person approach to physiotherapy and rehabilitation. We look beyond the site of pain to understand the full picture of your presentation, considering strength, mobility, load, lifestyle, and recovery patterns. Clear assessment and objective testing shape each stage of your care.
Our physiotherapists bring experience from professional and elite sport to the Marrickville community, delivering high-level treatment that feels accessible and grounded. We work within a connected multidisciplinary team that includes physiotherapy, sports medicine, dietetics, remedial massage, and strength and conditioning. This allows us to coordinate your care, create a clear plan, and support both recovery and long-term performance.
By combining skilled assessment with practical guidance, structured rehabilitation, and a focus on movement quality, we help you return to activity with confidence and maintain your health for the future.

What to Expect
Your experience at The Addison begins with a clear, structured assessment that helps us understand how you move, what is contributing to your symptoms, and what you want to achieve. From there, we create a tailored plan that outlines your next steps and the measurable goals we will use to track progress.
Throughout your sessions, your physiotherapist will explain the focus of each stage and the reasoning behind your treatment choices. You gain a clear understanding of what we are working on, how to support your recovery between appointments, and how your body responds over time. This shared knowledge helps you feel confident and involved in your rehabilitation.
Your physiotherapist will also connect with other members of our multidisciplinary team when needed, ensuring your care remains consistent and aligned with your goals. With physiotherapy, sports medicine, dietetics, massage, and strength and conditioning services working together, your experience feels cohesive and easy to navigate.
