Helen Jackson
FITNESS FX OWNER
Welcome to Fitness Fx Pty Ltd. If you are reading this page you have more than likely been referred to me by your specialist, your G.P. or a friend/family member who has experienced their own personal success as a patient here. You can read about others success under the case studies headings. Fitness Fx began in 1997 while I was completing my Masters Degree in a small studio in Clayfield and grew to five studios with 17 staff!
Many years ago I worked with professional athletes at the Queensland Academy of Sport and during my Masters studies I focused on special populations which required a high degree of understanding of the disease processes which can afflict people throughout their lives. I studied cardiac rehabilitation and worked closely with morbidly obese patients undergoing lap banding operations at the Wesley Hospital in Brisbane. I decided to focus my career on “normal people” who wanted to improve themselves and prevent disease. I took the scientific and detailed training regimes for athletes and applied them to the everyday person to help them achieve their own optimal performance at the level that they wished to achieve. I included in these programs the preventative measures needed to provide my client with the best health insurance against disease and slowed their individual aging process through the methods I used.
I continued my studies in manual therapy, as it became very apparent to me that some people were unable to perform parts of my programs due to injuries which had not been adequately rehabilitated by others. I became very passionate with my holistic approach to healthcare and researched, completed further studies and attended many conferences and workshops on musculoskeletal rehabilitation. Many years ago, I was involved in a motor vehicle accident which left me with one prolapsed disc and another herniated disc in the cervical spine. The prolapsed disc was protruded so far that the neurosurgeon said it was placing pressure on my spinal cord and causing it to swell. Surgery was certainly recommended however I did not choose to go down this path. I have experienced the pain this injury causes and understand personally how chronic pain affects your whole life. Through this experience,
I was able to design a unique way of releasing the body which permanently releases pain and dysfunction. I have replicated this success with thousands of patients over the last 18 years of clinical practice. Please visit the case studies

Our patients are completely rehabilitated to a level which far exceeds their initial expectations when they follow our guidance.
I am often asked, “How are you different from all these other health professionals who are saying the same thing?”
My best answer for this is: “I solve my patient’s problems when many before me have failed! I have been referred complex patient conditions, which have left other professionals scratching their head, and have found the root cause to then finally solving the individual’s problem. I do this on a weekly basis and have done thousands of times over the last 18 years.
I often see people who have already tried numerous professionals who have either wasted their time and money or have made the patient’s problem even worse. One of the key factors I have found is these particular professionals have lacked the knowledge, comprehension of the current research and analytical ability to draw out the required information needed for an accurate diagnosis.
I listen to you, I hear your individual story in full so that I have all the information available. I then analyse this and ask you further questions and together in detail we nut out why you have landed in this current state and why your body is not making a full and complete recovery. I can explain to you how it has happened, why it has happened and what is required to fix it in a way in which you can fully understand. Time spent tracking down precisely what has happened can prevent recurrences and save hours of frustrating treatment time and treatment failure.
Patients often say, “no one has ever taken this time to collect all the information needed and put all the pieces together for me, it all makes complete sense now”!
I am happy to teach you as much about your body as I can so that you then have the power to avoid future problems, to accelerate your recovery from your current problem and to be able to live the life you want to live!
What our Clients say
Testimonials
“I have been a client of Helen’s at Fitness Fx for the past 18 months. After suffering from POTS for nearly 10 years, I was referred to Helen by a specialist and have since been gradually improving under the care and guidance of the staff at Fitness Fx. In the past I have seen other physios that treat you like something to be fixed, rather than someone to educate and be empowered to get better.”
Samantha, Age 26, Event Manager
“I was referred to Helen by my GP specifically for a back relief program, this was aimed at improving my posture and muscular strength for a period of about six months. Under her high quality care, I was able to gain relief of the tightness in my hamstrings and shown how to properly stretch my muscles, this resulted in a noticeable improvement in my posture.”
John Couchman, Age 76, Retired Manager
“As a sufferer of chronic lower back pain I had tried Acupuncture, Physiotherapy and Chiropractic treatments, none of which was any help at all before finding Helen at Fitness Fx. I have since been a client for over 20 years and the main thing I like about the clinic is the personalised treatment for your injury and the results they achieve.
I no longer suffer from lower back pain and am overall in good health. I especially like the fact that they are available 24/7 if you ever urgently require treatment, don't waste your money going anywhere else.”
Ben Macdonald, Age 82, Retired
“Fitness Fx delivers high quality service and as a client I feel confident that my practitioner is knowledgeable in the field of Exercise Physiology. The staff at Fitness Fx want to educate you, so that you have the tools to get better. I started treatment in 2014 for hip flexor issues and from the start Helen conducted a comprehensive physical & lifestyle assessment, this was done in a manner that makes you feel comfortable in the clinic and with the staff.”
