Welcome to Sports Physio Norwest
Bella Vista NSW

At Sports Physio Norwest we believe quality assessment and accurate diagnosis are the foundations for determining the appropriate treatment for any injury.

Whether you’re an elite sportsperson or someone who has hurt themselves gardening, every patient is examined systematically. We then explain what is wrong and what needs to be done to fix it.

There are x-ray and radiological services available onsite, so x-rays can be organised immediately if required. If your injury is not amenable to physiotherapy we will set you on the most appropriate course of action.

Established in 2007, Sports Physio Norwest is North Western Sydney’s premier sports and orthopaedic physiotherapy facility. If you’ve got neck pain from sitting at a computer or you’ve “done a hami” trying to break a world record, you’ll get the right advice and treatment – the first time.

Whoever you are and whatever your injury, our aim is to get you moving again.
