Move Well currently operates 12 clinics in Perth, which means there is a location near you. Move Well aims to provide excellent patient care through high clinical and professional standards and exceptional customer service.
Recent advances in research, clinical practice and technology have facilitated significant improvements in physiotherapy. However, implementing these advances into private practice and providing specialised clinical services is often beyond the expertise and economic viability of an individual physiotherapy clinic. Move Well's network of clinics collectively provide a comprehensive range of specialised physiotherapy services including manipulative therapy, sports physiotherapy, real-time ultrasound imaging, exercise prescription services, hydrotherapy, Pilates and occupational health services.
The directors and management of Move Well have been operating physiotherapy and rehabilitation services in Australia for over 20 years. Peter Owens is the Manging Director of Move Well, whilst Felicity Kermode is the Clinical Director.
