Sydney Physiotherapy centre for back pain


For over 31 years our busy Bridge Street clinic behind Circular Quay has been a destination for patients from across Australia and abroad as the ultimate back pain centre. After September 28th 2018 it will only be possible to be treated by Sarah Key at the country annexe at 'Fernleigh' in the Upper Hunter Valley of NSW. Sarah is there if you can get there. She will be available for several days each month to provide her incomparable treatment of spinal problems.

The league of suffering from back problems is widespread and over the years most referrals to our Circular Quay Sydney Physiotherapy Centre for back pain have been though word of mouth. This allowed us to stand the test of time in a highly competitive world.

Going forward into 2019 Sarah Key continues to provide her unique treatment at regular intervals by explaining what's wrong, how to put it right and making your treatment last; perhaps this 'key ingredient' to making us different. People come to her from all over from reading Sarah Key's books
