The Healthfocus Physiotherapy Team…

A new place for everyone, Wodonga Place.

Healthfocus Physiotherapy, has officially opened its new Wodonga Place clinic. The Wodonga Place clinic has been designed with all people and life stages in mind.

It’s been a busy couple of months, but the state-of-the art clinic is now ready and the team look forward to welcoming current clients, and those new to Healthfocus Physiotherapy through the doors.

The ability to support 100% local trades and businesses in bringing the new clinic to life, meant the build could be tailored to our clients needs. The work has been completed by Connelly Construction Services, QA Kitchens, Tru Services Group, Griffiths Painting, MB Electrical & Data and DA signs.

The team placed great importance on creating a modern facility, with a new rehabilitation gym, with assistance from Sportspower Albury. It’s intentionally spacious, to allow for individual consult rooms and treatment options, as well as group classes including spinal rehabilitation, pre and post natal options.

Riverina Podiatry Group & Sports Podiatry Centre will also be co-sharing the space on both Wednesdays and Fridays, with additional health service providers being considered.…
