During these unprecedented times, we’d like to assure you that our clinic is open and safe to attend.
We have taken extra measures to ensure our rooms are disinfected and cleaned on each visit and adhere to social distancing as required.
Although we are seeing patients in the clinic as normal, we are offering extra services for any “at risk” patients via home-visits or tele-health online physio.
All Physiotherapy, Hydrotherapy and Exercise Physiology appointments will still be available in the clinic, at home and online via tele-health. Please call us on 9428 5772 to organise a time or email us at [email protected]
Stay healthy and we hope to see you in the clinic soon.
