activity while avoiding injury.
Extended Physiotherapy appointments are 45 minutes available for those with 2 or more areas of complaint or complex presentations. Please specify if you have more than one area of complaint, as we allow extra time for such appointments. At times an hour might be required for your particular injuries/concerns. We’re happy to advise you if unsure what appointment time is best for you.
Children in tow
We understand for many parents finding time for appointments can be tricky. We welcome children to come along to your Physio appointment, we have plenty of toys and bouncers for bubs. We also provide a complimentary Creche service for appointments Mon - Fri.
