Beachside Physiotherapy is a locally owned and operated evidence-based practice, where we offer the local and extended community a quality, professional hands-on approach to physiotherapy treatment within a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

Beachside Physiotherapy has been established since 2003 in its current location, following its relocation from Hallett Cove. The clinic previously operated as Hallett Cove Physiotherapy and Sports Injury Clinic and had been in operation for over 15 years.
