Physica Yarra Valley
Our journey began with the merger of two private practices: one located at Lilydale Hospital, which opened its doors in 1980, and the other on Brice Avenue in Mooroolbark, established in 1990. Building upon their legacies, we acquired and renovated our premises in Chirnside Park in 1995, officially commencing operations in February 1996.
In January 2018, we joined forces with Physica, a partnership that has allowed us to further enhance our services and expertise. As a result, we proudly became known as Physica Yarra Valley. We now cater to clients from Chirnside Park, Mooroolbark, Croydon, Lilydale, and the wider Yarra Valley region.
In early 2018, we undertook a comprehensive renovation to ensure that we provide the best in physiotherapy care within a modern and comfortable facility. We believe in creating an environment where you can feel at ease as we work together towards your recovery and well-being.
At Physica Yarra Valley, our dedicated team is committed to delivering exceptional care and personalized treatment plans to meet your unique needs. We are here to support you on your path to healing and improving your quality of life.
Thank you for placing your trust in us throughout the years. We are honored to be a part of your health journey, and we look forward to continuing to serve our community with compassion and professionalism.
