Physio Prime is a patient focused physiotherapy practice serving the Wakefield and Adelaide Plains region of South Australia. Our aim is to provide quality, up to date, research based, hands on physiotherapy treatment and exercise programs to achieve an effective and efficient recovery for you. We have well equipped facilities and two qualified physiotherapists with over 40 years clinical experience between them. We have our main clinic in Balaklava including a fully equipped gymnasium and visit Prospect Podiatry Clinic, Mallala and Two Wells Medical Clinics. Our services are available to people of all ages.
A referral is not usually required to see one of our physiotherapists (unless you are Veterans Affairs (DVA) or Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) patient) but we enjoy a close rapport with local GPs and would be only too happy to liaise with them if necessary.

Musculoskeletal injuries e.g. back pain, neck pain, muscle and ligament injuries
Sports injuries e.g. hamstring tear, ankle sprain, Achilles tendonosis, tennis elbow, shoulder injuries
