Based at Adelaide University’s City East, City West and Magill campuses, the Physiotherapy Clinic offers assessment and treatment across a variety of different areas.

Designed to address your individual needs, we deliver hands-on quality care to help restore, maintain and promote optimal physical function and sports participation.

We offer self-management strategies and home exercises to clients with a range of issues that may recur. We design exercise programs for individuals and groups, and offer advice about safe work practices, exercise and fitness, return to work, as well as health and wellbeing.

Appointments are essential. A medical practitioner referral isn’t required to access our services.

Children’s services

We can provide a range of services that assist children and families to build their skills and address any concerns they may have around a range of physical and/or developmental issues.

Located at the Adelaide University City West campus clinic and our community clinic in Elizabeth South, we offer individual physiotherapy sessions to support the development of children of all ages at an affordable price.

Children will improve areas such as movement skills, balance, strength, flexibility, coordination and play/sport skills. We work together with children and families to target specific goals over a 5-week block.

Please note there may be a wait list for services. Children who are not already receiving services from a physiotherapist will be given priority.

We also offer a more focussed service which has a specific entry criterion. Healthy Moves for Kids ‘n’ Teens is a specialised service for school aged children (5-14 years).

These sessions will include an initial assessment and physical activity sessions aimed at supporting a healthy lifestyle and healthy growth/development. 

We take a fun, play-based approach to enhancing children’s movement and activity, while addressing any movement difficulties they may be experiencing.

Enquiries with our team are very welcome, so we can advise if this service is suitable for your child.
