Our Values / Our Philosophy

As primary health care professionals, physiotherapists combine in-depth knowledge of how the body works with specialised hands-on clinical skills to assess, diagnose and treat symptoms of illness, injury or disability. With your independence in mind, a physiotherapist’s goal is to restore, maintain, and maximise your mobility, strength, function, and overall well-being.

At Linkfield Physiotherapy and Sports Injuries Clinic we believe the best treatment programs are based on findings obtained from a detailed and personalised musculo-skeletal assessment. We believe that clients must be active participants in their own recovery and this is achieved through a combined approach from therapist and client. Because our field of knowledge is continually evolving, our therapists are committed to ongoing education to integrate the best and most current evidence-based research into our treatment approaches. We believe that a positive, caring and professional environment is an important element in a client’s therapy experience, and we strive to maintain this atmosphere in our clinic. All clients are treated with the same level of dignity and respect.

We actively encourage feedback on your experiences while under treatment at Linkfield Physiotherapy and Sports Injuries clinic.
