Templestowe Physio: Back To Walking, Riding And Gardening

Rosanna Physio is on Bellevue Avenue in Rosanna, across the Yarra from Templestowe. You are crossing from the City of Manningham into Banyule, which sounds further than it is.

Getting here from Templestowe

• By car: about 15 minutes via Foote Street and Manningham Road, then across the river and up Banksia Street.
• Parking: a 120-space car park sits directly opposite the clinic door.
• No public transport option: Manningham is the only council in Melbourne with no train or tram service anywhere within it, so driving is simply how it works from Templestowe. We mention it because people often assume they have missed a station somewhere.

Back to walking, riding and gardening

Templestowe is built around its open space, and Westerfolds Park and the Main Yarra Trail are where a lot of our Templestowe patients get their exercise. That brings us walkers with plantar heel pain and hip complaints, cyclists with lower back and neck stiffness from time in the saddle, and a steady stream of gardening-related backs and shoulders. The aim is always to get you back to the activity rather than telling you to stop it.

Physiotherapy for active families

With large households and a lot of junior sport locally, we see plenty of teenagers with growth-related knee and heel pain, netball and football ankles, and shoulder problems from swimming and cricket. We are straight with parents about what needs treatment and what simply needs load management and time.

What Templestowe patients see us for

Low back and neck pain, hip and knee arthritis, walking and cycling injuries, shoulder pain, post-surgical rehabilitation, vertigo and dizziness (vestibular physiotherapy), and women’s health and pelvic floor physiotherapy. We also offer dry needling, remedial massage and exercise physiology.

Common questions from Templestowe patients

How long does it take to get there?
Around fifteen minutes from most of Templestowe outside peak hour, and you park directly opposite.

Do I need a referral?
No. You can book directly. A referral is only needed for a Medicare care plan, WorkCover or the TAC.

Can I claim my private health on the spot?
Yes. We have HICAPS on site, so your rebate comes off immediately and you only pay the gap.

I want to keep walking while I recover. Is that allowed?
Usually yes, with adjustments. Complete rest is rarely the answer; we will tell you what distance and surface to stick to while things settle.

Call our reception on (03) 9457 2336 or book online, and we will get you moving again.
