About us

Ascent Physiotherapy – Sports & Lifestyle Clinic was conceived with the vision to provide a total package to help our clients achieve the height of their health; not just by providing first-class physiotherapy treatment & rehabilitation, but also by offering lifestyle management & health optimisation programs through the use of our extensive gym equipment & clinical Pilates studio, guided by physiotherapists with a passion for keeping people ACTIVE, every day, for life.
We started our journey in 2012 by locating ourselves within the then brand new Majura Park Medical Centre at Canberra Airport. Our name: Ascent Physiotherapy, was chosen initially to reflect both our Airport location and also what we are trying to achieve – helping people reach the height of their health. Being involved from the beginning of the Majura Park Medical Centre project enabled us to build a lovely space to maximise our
one-on-one patient contact with light filled private rooms, and a custom gym space. We had a fantastic 10 years at Majura Park and now look forward to our next chapter in Queanbeyan – for both our existing Ascent clients and welcoming our new clients from Queanbeyan & surrounds.
Live, Play, Work: let us help you achieve the height of your health!
Our gym provides additional fitness equipment that assists us with giving our clients the optimum rehab & lifestyle experience – we have HyperVibe™ whole body vibration machines; our specialised Joba Equestrian core trainer; Clinical Pilates equipment including reformer based training, great physiotherapy rehab equipment to provide graded strengthening for beginners to elite; water-rower, recumbent bike & treadmill, plus all the normal physiotherapy rehab equipment that we feel is standard to quality practice!
Our move to the former “Entire Physio” premises in Queanbeyan in May 2023, was the end of our Majura Park era – but an exciting progression for Ascent Physiotherapy! As Entire Physio closed in February 2023, we purchased all the clinic stock & fittings and committed to providing first-class Physiotherapy for all their former clients and meet their future Physiotherapy needs. The expanded space at the Cooma Street premises allows us to grow – with many more treatment rooms, a large gym space as well as designated rear courtyard access and individual treatment rooms for our Capital Animal Physiotherapy clients too! You will see some familiar faces with Practice Manager, Michelle now working with Ascent!
We still have great staff facilities to keep our physios happy (and loving their job!) as well as the room to conduct work screenings & functional assessments.
We provide solutions using the latest Evidence-Based Practice, combined with extensive clinical experience to provide our clients, with quality, professional care and a genuine interest in optimizing their health, work & activity levels.
We have consulted to the Australian Defence Force, private enterprise, academia, and occupational health providers across a range of industries
