About us

Peakhurst Health & Performance has been servicing the local community since 2017.

We’ve grown into an established allied health and rehabilitation clinic with 300+ five-star Google reviews, a strong local referral network and a diverse patient base across private practice, rehabilitation, disability, aged care and community health.

A major part of our clinic is our private rehabilitation gym. We want our physiotherapists to have the space and equipment to properly rehabilitate patients rather than being limited to a treatment room.

We’re also a teaching clinic working with both the University of Sydney and Western Sydney University, regularly providing clinical placements for physiotherapy students. Teaching, mentoring and clinical development are an important part of our clinic environment.
