Aspire Physiotherapy has been supplying health and wellness services to the Claremont community since 1995. As a part of Aspire Fitness, the physiotherapy practice has aimed to combine traditional physiotherapy modalities with the principles of exercise rehabilitation. With a gym fully equipped with all the latest, state of the art cardio and resistance equipment, you couldn’t be in better hands!

Physiotherapy is a science-based healthcare profession that views human movement as central to health and well-being. Physiotherapists aim to maintain and restore human function after disease or injury, to help people achieve quality of life through physical movement.

Using a combination of manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, education, lifestyle advice, soft tissue techniques, and electrotherapeutic modalities, physiotherapists strive to enhance health and maximise potential.
