About Southport Osteopathy
Southport Physical Therapy was established in 1998 and has grown to become Southport’s primary provider of manual health care. In addition to physiopathy by our qualified physios the practice offers patients a wide range of healthcare treatments carried out by highly qualified practitioners. We are about holistic healthcare and we offer a complement of treatments and therapies including sports massage by our trainee physiotherapist, chiropody, acupuncture and TCM, medical herbs, counselling, Sports rehabilitation and Pilates.
We have had to adapt our regimes due to a covid protocol so have a reduced treatment service with cleaning in-between patients and no longer have a waiting room or receptionists. Please see our page for new patients for more information.
All of our practitioners are qualified to degree standard or equivalent and we have 3 osteopaths and a physiotherapist working over the six days. We are open 6 days a week and offer full disabled access with ample on and off road parking. We are situated on the corner of Manning Road and Hawkeshead Street opposite Lathoms the Bakers.
