Coburg Physio

Coburg Physiotherapy Centre is a private Physiotherapy practice in the inner northern suburbs of Melbourne. We have been established for over 30 years and cater for the whole family in all aspects of Physiotherapy. This means we treat back and neck pain, headaches, joint sprains, muscle strains, pre-or post-surgical rehabilitation as well as a host of other conditions; whether they are from injuries on the sporting field or at work, pregnancy-related pain or general wear and tear.

As a Spinal Management Clinic of Victoria, we provide Functional Restoration programs for patients under WorkCover and TAC, and we are an affiliate of LifeCare Health and their many Physiotherapy and Sports Medicine clinics throughout Australia.

As well as using HiCAPS so our patients can claim an instant rebate through their health insurer, we are preferred providers for numerous health funds which include Medibank Private, MBF and BUPA (HBA) and are registered providers for the HCF More for Muscles program; this means we can provide our patients with a higher rebate. We also treat patients under Medicare Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) plans and Department of Veteran Affairs (DVA) with a referral from your local GP.

We pride ourselves on the excellent care and service that we provide, being accessible to our patients from 8:30am to 7pm weekdays and 9am to 12pm Saturdays, and having the ability to treat patients requiring immediate attention. With the versatility of our practitioners we combine our collective 50 years of experience with the latest evidence-based treatment.
