The Roxburgh Park Physiotherapy Clinic, now known as Northwest Physiotherapy Group is located within the Roxburgh Park Specialist Center, and opened in early February 2001. It is an innovative style of clinic for the Roxburgh Park and surrounding suburbs area, which will include a comprehensive rehabilitation gymnasium.

Our physiotherapists are committed to ongoing professional education to ensure all patients benefit from the latest developments in physiotherapy, along with proven, existing techniques.

The clinic has a "hands on" approach to patient care, a significant part of treatment being manual therapy and active involvement by the patient. Treatment is based on a comprehensive initial assessment and close communication with the patient's local doctor, sports trainer or workplace.

• Multistation universal machine
• Cable cross-over pulley system
• Free weighted dumbells
• 2 x electronic stationary bikes
• Hydraulic stepper
• Electronic commercial treadmill
• Physio/fit balls and other trunk stabilising apparatus
• Therapeutic rehabilitation apparatus
• Fitness testing devices

The gym is intended to be used by patients and members of the public for :

• Injury rehabilitation
• Post surgical rehabilitation
• Fitness testing
• Workplace conditioning programs

Individual programs can be implemented and overseen by a qualified physiontherapist.

The clinic was established in 2001 by Russell Visser and Graham Nelson who have a quality endorsed Physiotherapy practice established for over ten years in the Moonee Ponds area (Essendon & Moonee Ponds Physiotherapy Clinic).

Roxburgh Park was developed after extensive collaboration with local doctors who had identified a need for patients to engage in structured gym rehabilitation programs.
