At Windy Hill Sports and Spinal Physiotherapy Clinic, we pride ourselves on our commitment to providing exceptional care and personalized attention to each of our patients. Established in 1994, our clinic has been at the forefront of physiotherapy services in the Essendon area, with a primary focus on sports physiotherapy and spinal injury management. However, over the years, we have expanded our services to include a range of other physiotherapy and complementary health services.
Our clinic philosophy revolves around providing a high level of one-on-one time between patients and their therapists. We believe that each patient deserves a tailored approach to their treatment, and we prioritize education and explanation throughout the therapy process. Our goal is not only to alleviate symptoms in the short term but to empower patients to manage their conditions and minimize their impact on daily life long term. To achieve this, we ensure that our consultation bookings accommodate ample time for one-on-one interaction between patients and therapists.
