Physiotherapy in Riverwood, close to home. Our home-visit physios, through our partner clinic MoveWell Allied Health, come to you anywhere in Riverwood and across St George & Botany Bay.
Riverwood 2210 is part of St George & Botany Bay, where Pegasus Peak covers every suburb with home visits, from Hurstville, Kogarah and Rockdale to Brighton-Le-Sands, Sans Souci and Botany. 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 Riverwood, you'll get a clear plan from the first session.
Riverwood was known as Herne Bay until 1957, when it took its present name. In 1942 a US Army hospital of about 490 barrack-style buildings went up here, and from 1946 the Housing Commission converted them to homes, which is why streets like Kentucky Road and Pennsylvania Road still carry American names. The East Hills line opened in 1931, and today Riverwood Library looks over the Riverwood Wetlands. Anywhere in Riverwood, our home-visit physios, through our partner clinic MoveWell Allied Health, can see you at home.
Riverwood has about 12,800 residents. At the 2021 Census nearly half of occupied dwellings were flats or apartments, and supermarkets, hospitals and aged care homes were the three biggest employers of residents, with cafes and restaurants not far behind. So the aches here come from long shifts on your feet or lifting stock, desk days and the commute on the East Hills line, and weekend sport. A physio who comes to your place saves the trip, and no GP referral is needed for a private visit.
The first appointment in Riverwood runs for an hour: a proper hands-on assessment and treatment, then a clear written plan and honest timeframes in plain language. We look at what is driving the pain and what you need to get back to work, sport and the things you enjoy. Many people book us after an injury, an operation or a stay at St George Hospital. Padstow, Narwee and Peakhurst are on the same rounds for our home-visit physiotherapists and occupational therapists.
