About Above Physiotherapy
Above Physiotherapy in Rochedale South is a family-run clinic that treats the whole body rather than just the sore spot, combining physiotherapy, exercise rehabilitation and traditional Chinese medicine under one roof. The philosophy here leans toward preventative maintenance, helping clients not only recover but stay well and moving for the long term.
The team blends hands-on therapy with clinical exercise, dry needling and acupuncture, plus progressive resistance training, core stability and balance work. With a Pilates-certified physiotherapist and an accredited exercise physiologist on staff, the clinic is well suited to people who want their treatment paired with structured, supervised movement in a dedicated exercise space.
Clients in Rochedale South describe Above as a genuine one-stop shop for physio, acupuncture and core rehab, returning for issues from long-standing shoulder and back pain to nerve-related complaints that other practitioners could not resolve. The skill of the practitioners, the tailored rather than one-size-fits-all approach and a perfect review rating have made it a trusted local fixture.
