Established in 2005, South Fremantle Physiotherapy is a community driven practice, located near the beach on the South Fremantle cafe strip.

We are a hands-on clinic with a focus on one-on-one manual therapy, real-time ultrasound imaging for core stability, dry needling and personalised exercise prescription for sports injuries and work related conditions.
