About Us
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide first-class Physiotherapy services & health care to our clients, to maximise
their return to activity after injury & enable them to achieve the optimal activity level to keep them
“ACTIVE – every day, for life” regardless of their age or abilities.
Our aim is to provide full functional recovery:
to restore normal movement & function for the long term & also to prevent injuries from recurring.
Our Ethos
"A customer is the most important visitor on our premises. They are not dependent on us. We are dependent on them.They are not an interruption in our work. They are the purpose of it. They are not an outsider in our business. They are part of it. We are not doing them a favour by serving them. They are doing a favour by giving us an opportunity to do so.
Inspired by – Mahatma Ghandi.
Our Story
About us - “Ascent”, verb:
The act of ascending, upward movement
Movement upward from a lower to a higher state
Movement or return to a source or beginning
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 embrace 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 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!
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!
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.
