Gladstone Central Physio and Acupuncture

About

Gladstone Central Physio and Acupuncture is a friendly, local clinic offering expert care from two highly qualified physiotherapists—Elizabeth and Stuart Orr. The couple opened the practice in 2023 with one clear goal: to provide honest, personalised healthcare in the heart of Gladstone.

Their story began in New Zealand, where they met on their first day at university while studying physiotherapy. After graduating in 1995 and getting married, they each went on to complete further training in musculoskeletal care and acupuncture. These extra qualifications shaped the way they work with clients today.

Over the years, they have owned and managed three successful practices in New Zealand, including a gym. They also worked abroad in New Orleans and British Columbia, gaining valuable experience along the way.

In 2005, they moved to Gladstone after the birth of their first child. Now based in Calliope with their three teenage children, they have deep roots in the local area. During this time, Elizabeth ran her own mobile and clinic-based service, earning a strong reputation. Meanwhile, Stuart worked with Queensland Health, supporting a wide range of clients.

Now, they’ve returned to working side-by-side, just as they did early in their careers. With over 30 years of postgraduate experience each, they are proud to offer high-quality care at Gladstone Central Physio and Acupuncture.
