About Us

United Physiotherapy Group was founded in 1999 by Managing Director and Head Physiotherapist James Nguyen. We are a strong nationwide network of physiotherapists providing services across Residential Aged Care, Community & Domiciliary Health, Disability (NDIS), Private Practice, Sports and Education.

Our physiotherapists have built a reputation as a team motivated to drive the physiotherapy field forward. With this, we have drawn upon the past 20 years of clinical experience to bring the same attention and care to the broader community by opening up UPG Studio, our flagship wellness studio. The studio is an extension of parent company United Physiotherapy Group. The studio offers mat and reformer pilates, yin and yang flow yoga, women’s health and in house physiotherapy services to target every part of the body so clients can leave feeling strong and centred.
