About Us
Why Choose Us
Parkmore Physiotherapy Centre has been providing quality physiotherapy services to Keysborough and surrounding communities for over 18 years.
We provide one on one 30 minute appointments with adequate time for thorough assessment of your musculoskeletal problem. This allows accurate diagnosis and comprehensive treatment, explanation and where necessary, further involvement of other health providers.
How We Can Help You
As well as one on one physiotherapy consultations, we also provide over 50’s strength and fitness classes, pre-employment Functional Capacity Evaluations and gym program set ups.
Our treatment approach emphasises “hands on” therapy and appropriate exercise prescription. Other aspects of treatment may include taping, dry needling or provision of splints/braces/aids.
Parkmore Physiotherapy Centre is a Members First preferred provider for Bupa meaning improved rebates for patients with Bupa health insurance.

Our tertiary qualified physiotherapists specialise in treating problems involving the musculoskeletal system such as:
- Sports Injuries
- Neck Pain
- Neck related headaches
- Lower Back problems
- Joint problems (e.g. shoulder, hip, knee etc)
- Post Surgery Rehabilitation

- Wrist / Hand / Finger Injuries

Gym Program Set Ups
Many people are hesitant to start a gym program because of concerns over current or previous injury or health problems. The reality for many people in this situation is that a professionally set-up gym program can often be highly beneficial and offer many different types of exercise to rehabilitate injury problems (or simply exercise without causing aggravation). With use of the ReCreation Fitness Centre, our physiotherapists can assess you and then set you up with an appropriate gym program (physically showing you and practising your program in the gym). This service would initially be provided over two half hour consultations and may have more follow up session(s) if required or requested. For many people, having a trained health professional provide this service is an attractive alternative to using a fitness instructor or “going it alone”. Health insurance or Medicare rebates can apply for people with extras cover or an Enhanced Primary Care referral from their GP.
Dry Needling
Dry needling involves the use of acupuncture needles to assist in healing of slow healing areas (such as tendon problems) or for relieving pain and tightness caused by muscular trigger points due to injury, overuse or adverse postural stresses. Parkmore Physiotherapy’s Katie Punter and Dushyant Singh Pundir have undertaken extra training to be qualified in the use of dry needling. During your physiotherapy treatment they can provide this service as part of your consultation (often in conjunction with other treatment methods such as massage, joint mobilisation and exercises).
