Company Profile

Company Overview

Introducing…….
Physio & Fitness was established by Olympic Physiotherapist Darryl Hughes in 1981, with a view to providing expert personalised Physiotherapy and rehabilitation services in the Gladstone area. The practice started within a modest facility, but our rapidly growing reputation for excellence in the field caused us to quickly outgrow our original location.

Current owner, Director and Physiotherapist, Nathan Smith, joined the practice in 2005, after having travelled overseas to broaden his experience and expand his career. When Nathan came aboard, the practice consisted of one other Physio and one Gym Instructor. Physio & Fitness, in a short amount of time, developed a very strong reputation within the local community as THE Physio to visit if you wanted to achieve maximum results, and achieve them quickly.

Mr. Smith purchased a half share of the practice in early 2009, and then bought thepractice outright in 2010. The practice has since expanded to incorporate a multidisciplinary array of health professionals, each of whom is constantly striving to
achieve the best result-oriented outcomes for his or her patients. Physio & Fitness only employs those highly qualified health professionals who are driven to succeed by achieving positive results for their patients.

Our newly renovated full-service facility, opened in 2009, contains the most modern, up-to-date equipment and is staffed by the full range of the most qualified health care professionals in our area. Our direct staff includes Physiotherapists, Massage
Therapists, Personal Trainers, an Aquatic Therapist, Clinical Pilates Instructors, Bootcamp and Gym Instructors, an Exercise Physiologist, an Exercise Scientist working alongside ancillary services staff including a Diabetes Educator and a Psychologist.

We have a complete gymnasium and large Clinical Pilates studio, fully equipped with over quarter a million dollars
worth of the most modern up-to-date gym equipment available.

Our website, www.physioandfitness.com.au offers a more detailed view of our capabilities and facility.

Physio & Fitness is oriented around four major disciplines, each of which contributes to the development of successful wellness programs. The four are: Physiotherapy, Rehab Gym, Remedial Massage and Clinical Pilates. We staff and operate our multi-disciplinary centre with the aim of providing health and well being in many domains, ranging from the promotion of
exercise to the rehabilitation of injuries.

We believe in playing a preventive role. We encourage our patients to maintain a consistent exercise regime, as this has been clearly shown to reduce the chance of injury, as well as promote overall good health. We offer personalised and specialised services, such as personal training packages, work hardening conditioning, and bootcamps, which have become an excellent socially-interactive form of exercise for our patients.
