Riley Physiotherapists – a trusted name in physiotherapy

Riley Physiotherapists focus on a “Hands-On” approach and personalised care.
Our aim is to relieve pain and suffering & provide a caring and compassionate physiotherapy service.

We prioritise evidence-based practice and strive for excellence at all times.
Thorough assessments are performed and individualised treatment programs designed for all our patients.

We focus on rehabilitation to an optimal level of function or performance. We want you to leave even BETTER than before the injury/problem. We aim to identify and treat the cause and any contributing factors and get you stronger and healthier than ever before.

We like to empower our patients by providing education and guidance to help them manage their condition independently and/or prevent future injuries or pain.

We also work collaboratively with other healthcare professionals to ensure comprehensive care for our patients.

At all times, we maintain integrity and uphold ethics, always putting the patient first and treating them like family.

We operate out of 3 medical centres (Femina Health, Gillitts Medical Centre and Le Domaine Health) and also provide physiotherapy services to patients in their own homes and nursing homes, to ensure that our physiotherapy services are accessible.

Our small and dedicated team of experts provide professional treatments in a wide range of conditions. With years of physiotherapy training and experience behind us and genuine care, you are in good hands.il
