Online Physiotherapy via Telehealth
Physiotherapy, it's so much more than hands-on treatment
Yes we are still open! We have changed the way we operate in this time to make sure we are still able to provide the quality Physiotherapy that you're used to at Muscle People.
We are now offering Telehealth appointments over video chat in which our Physiotherapists are able to diagnose injuries, help you to settle and manage your pain and get you moving again with exercise programs. There is so much more to Physiotherapy than hands-on treatment and we know that now more than ever it is so important to stay on top of your health and wellbeing.
Telehealth – your Online Physio Session
