Breathe easier.
Live fuller.
Expert physiotherapy for lung conditions and breathlessness, from a team trained in hospital respiratory and intensive care. Helping Adelaide breathe easier on the field, in the gym and at home.
Short of breath? Frequent chest infections?
We work with adults and children living with lung conditions, and with anyone recovering from illness or surgery.

Every plan starts with a thorough one-on-one assessment. From there we combine hands-on treatment, exercise and education so you can manage your breathing with confidence.

Things people ask us before their first visit
Can't find your answer? Call us on (08) 8364 3706, or read our first-visit guide.
Do I need a referral to see you?
No. Anyone can book directly. A GP referral is only needed if you want to claim a Medicare rebate through a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan (GPCCMP), or if you are a DVA client.
Does Medicare or my health fund cover physiotherapy?
Yes, in most cases. If your GP refers you under a GPCCMP (up to five allied health visits per calendar year), you pay a reduced fee on the day ($108.40 for a first visit, $88.40 for a follow-up) and Medicare pays $63.40 back into your account, usually the next day, so you are only out of pocket $45 or $25. Private health extras are claimed on the spot with HICAPS. We also see DVA clients and NDIS participants, whether you self-manage your plan or it is managed through a plan manager.
How do the pulmonary rehab classes work?
They are 60-minute small-group circuit classes (4–8 people) run by a physiotherapist, four days a week, for $30 a class. No referral is needed. New to the clinic? You start with a first visit, so your class is set at the right level.
Do you see children?
Yes. We treat children and adults with asthma, cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis and other lung conditions, including inhaler and spacer technique for kids and parents.
Can you come to me?
Yes. Home visits are available across Adelaide for people who find it hard to get to the clinic, including after a hospital stay. Call us to arrange one.
What should I bring to my first appointment?
Your medications and inhalers, any recent letters or test results, your Medicare and health fund cards, and your referral if you have one. See our first-visit guide for the full list.
