Services to our Patients
Southern Sports Physiotherapy was established in Engadine in 1990, providing professional treatment and rehabilitation to the greater Engadine area, and in the year 2000 expanded the clinic by opening the Helensburgh branch.
We are a multidisciplinary clinic combining a variety of services such as physiotherapy, acupuncture, hydrotherapy and massage therapy.
