About Us

Newington Physiotherapy is your partner in health promotion, injury prevention, and recovery. We provide expert care for both acute and ongoing conditions, offering treatments tailored to your unique needs. Our team specialises in a broad range of areas including musculoskeletal problems, sports injuries, back and neck pain, headaches, sciatica, arthritis, post-surgical rehab, and pre and post natal care. We also offer expert support for dance-related injuries and technical concerns, workplace rehabilitation, neurological disorders, and more.

Our clinic is open Monday to Thursday from 8:00 am to 7:00 pm, Fridays from 8:00 am to 5:30 pm, and Saturdays 9:00 am to 12:30 pm. You don’t need a doctor’s referral to see one of our physiotherapists unless your injury is covered by Work Cover, DVA, or TAC. We’re proud members of the Medicare funded Enhanced Primary Care network, so some appointments may be available on your GP’s referral.
