ABOUT US

Operating since 2009, BetterLife Physio is a well established service with a team of fully qualified Physiotherapists whose members all have a special interest in the unique issues people face as they get older.

BetterLife Physio launched in when it became clear that accessing Physiotherapy care in a Physio Centre was very difficult for some people. Additionally, for some people it is crucial for a Physio to understand how a person needs to function in their own environment to stay independent at home.  

BetterLife Physios have full registration with AHPRA, are Australian Physiotherapy Association members and keep fully abreast of research developments for our own professional development and for better outcomes for the people we see.  

We have built a strong network of partnerships with hospitals and agencies around Melbourne and together, we deliver the highest quality of personalised care to keep you independent and safe at home.  

We work closely with you and if appropriate, other family members or carers as well as your Doctor, other Health Professionals and any relevant Specialists to achieve your goals.
