Francis Cosson believes high-quality physiotherapy belongs where people actually live. In 2020 he launched Home Health Physio to keep treatment accessible for clients who feel safer or more comfortable at home. He brings the same focus to every session: identify the true source of pain, reduce it, build strength and leave each person with a clear long-term management plan.

“My client base has grown almost entirely through word of mouth, and my focus has never been on getting busier or making more money.”

Broad clinical background

Since 2017 Francis has provided NDIS physiotherapy and has practised across emergency care, rehabilitation, post-surgical recovery, sports, aged care, disability support and pain management. Friendly, professional and results-driven, he adapts techniques to each setting while keeping goals front and centre.

Running credentials in numbers

YearEventDistance / ClimbTime
2023Warburton Trail Festival Lumberjack Run50 km – 1,143 m+6:32:49
2023Two Bays Trail Run28 km2:59:00
2021Coburg 24-Hour Carnival6-hour race53.55 km
2019Coburg 24-Hour Carnival6-hour race49.60 km
2014Melbourne Marathon42.2 km4:48:15

These finish lines shape Francis’s treatment style for runners. He understands calf fatigue after long descents, the mental dip in the final hour of a timed track race and the patience required to rebuild mileage after injury.

Barefoot running and strong feet

“What really drew me to this platform is the chance to share my insights and experience around barefoot running. My hope is to contribute meaningfully, connect with others, and potentially build a community where I can offer workshops on barefoot running and foot strength & mobility exercises.”

Expect practical guidance on gradually transitioning to minimalist shoes, improving proprioception and layering foot-strength drills into weekly training.
