About us
Life Physio has been servicing Caroline Springs, Burnside, Burnside Heights, Rockbank, Taylors Hill, Hillside, Delahey, Kings Park, Derrimut, Sydenham, Keilor Down, Taylors Lakes, Deer Park, Cairnlea and surrounds since 2001. What started out as a sole physio operation from a small room at a GP clinic, it has grown by reputation to become the best physiotherapy clinic in town.
We offer women's health physiotherapy, sport physiotherapy, general physiotherapy, pilates and remedial massage services.
At Life Physio, we care about our patients. We don’t treat several patients at a time, and we certainly don’t treat by just leaving you with a heat pack and a TENS machine (like some clinics do). Our consultations are one-on-one, ensuring we listen to your needs, and give you the best care possible.
