Having established two successful and highly regarded clinics in Clifton Hill , Sal and Jen are delighted to join with Ali here in Thornbury. Together, we have a longstanding working relationship and friendship.

We have all lived locally for many years and are excited to be bringing our service to this vibrant Thornbury community. Our ongoing involvement in research, lecturing and teaching, means you are being treated by highly qualified practitioners at the forefront of new developments.

Our team of physiotherapists have extensive experience from working in private practice, private and public hospitals, and research and teaching over a range of physiotherapy disciplines including sports, manipulative, musculoskeletal, neurological pain management, continence, women’s / men’s health and paediatric services.

We are confident our practice will offer a service that stands apart, as we value excellence in quality care delivered by highly-educated and experienced physiotherapists.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING CURRENT COVID RESTRICTIONS

COVID restrictions have now eased to allow more face to face appointments. This is permissible if a delay in such care would lead to a significant increase in pain, increased frequency of treatment or an increase in recovery time. We are still unable to run group classes but continue to offer 1 to 1 clinical exercise appointments. As we are offering an essential healthcare service it is also permissible to travel more than 5km from your home for your appointment. We can provide you with a letter of attendance or you can use your appointment reminder.

We continue to follow all recommended guidelines for infection control and keeping social distance. Please be mindful as you enter our waiting areas of the number of people allowed at a time (noted on each door) if you would like to wait outside or in your car please let our admin staff know. All practitioners are wearing masks and face shields and we ask that you keep your mask on for the duration of your appointment, our face to face interactions adhere to strict hygiene protocols. Please avoid using cash for payments and consider paying online or over the phone, we will send you a receipt for claiming. If appropriate please consider utilising our Telehealth appointments.
