Physiotherapy in Five Dock, close to home. Our home-visit physios, through our partner clinic MoveWell Allied Health, come to you anywhere in Five Dock and across Inner West & the City.
Five Dock 2046 is part of Inner West & the City, where Pegasus Peak covers every suburb with home visits, from Marrickville, Newtown and Leichhardt to Burwood, Strathfield, Concord and the inner city. Instead of travelling to a clinic, your physio comes to your home, aged care or retirement residence, or workplace, so treatment fits around your day and happens where you actually move.
Every visit brings hands-on treatment and progressive exercise to your door, guided by current research, to treat the cause and not just the symptom. Whether it's a sore back from work, a sports injury or getting back on track after surgery in Five Dock, you'll get a clear plan from the first session.
Five Dock is said to take its name from five water-worn indentations that were likened to docks, according to a 1965 Maritime Services Board publication. The suburb is centred on Great North Road, where a shopping strip of about 500 metres runs between Lyons Road and Queens Road. Five Dock Park, bought from the government in 1883, was the first park in the borough, and Italian is the suburb's most common ancestry. Working through our partner clinic MoveWell Allied Health, our home-visit physios come to you in Five Dock.
At the last census 45.3 per cent of Five Dock homes were separate houses and 36.8 per cent were flats, and 44.9 per cent of workers did their job from home. Hospitals were the biggest industry for employment, followed by computer system design and banking, so you find hospital staff on long shifts, people at laptops and weekend players from Five Dock Park and Timbrell Park all sharing the same sore backs, necks and knees. We treat you where you are, and a private home visit needs no GP referral.
Expect the first session in Five Dock to run a full hour: a hands-on assessment, a plain explanation of what is going on and a clear written plan with honest timeframes. From there we treat, strengthen and adjust as you improve, aiming at the sport, work or training you want back. Concord Hospital and Royal Prince Alfred Hospital are the nearby public hospitals, and a home visit is a common next step after a stay at either. Our physios also cover neighbouring Haberfield, Rodd Point, Russell Lea and Abbotsford.
