Personalised, progressive physiotherapy in the heart of Richmond, Melbourne. We help you move well, recover fully and stay strong — one day at a time.
Expert Physiotherapy in Richmond, Melbourne
Day One Physio focuses on empowering you to take control of your body and your physical goals. We believe strengthening and planned, progressive-loading programs are the best way to overcome the limits caused by injury and deconditioning.
We promote autonomy — teaching you how to move and stay as independent and conscious in your rehabilitation as possible. Injuries shouldn't stop you living your best physical life, so start with us at the beginning, at Day One. Our experienced physiotherapists in Richmond see everyone from weekend runners to post-surgical clients, and every appointment is claimable on private health.
