Health Services at Southside Clinic
At Southside Clinic in Unley, our team of osteopaths, physiotherapists, chiropractors, and an accredited exercise physiologist work together to provide complete, patient-centred health services. We believe that no single approach works for everyone — which is why we offer a range of professions under one roof, each bringing a unique perspective on pain, injury, and movement.
Our clinic supports people through every stage of life: from newborns and children, to athletes, busy professionals, and older adults. Whether you’re managing a chronic condition, recovering from injury, or simply wanting to move more freely, we provide holistic, hands-on care that focuses on the root cause — not just the symptoms.
What makes Southside Clinic different is how our team links together. An osteopath may explore the body as a whole system, a physiotherapist can design a structured rehabilitation program, a chiropractor can restore spinal and joint mobility, and an exercise physiologist builds lasting strength and resilience through tailored exercise. Together, these approaches create a complete pathway: from assessment to treatment to long-term recovery and prevention.
Osteopathy focuses on the body as an interconnected whole. Osteopaths look at how your muscles, joints, nerves, circulation, and even internal systems influence one another. Their treatments often combine gentle joint mobilisation, massage-style techniques, fascial release, and cranial osteopathy to restore balance and movement.
Where osteopathy stands out is its whole-body perspective. An osteopath may treat your back pain not only by easing tight muscles, but also by exploring how posture, breathing, or even digestive patterns contribute. It’s care that connects the dots.
How it links with the team: Osteopathy provides a big-picture view, which complements the more condition-specific approaches of physiotherapy, chiropractic, and exercise physiology.

Osteopathy in Unley
Physiotherapy in Adelaide
Physiotherapy is highly evidence-based, focusing on assessment, diagnosis, and rehabilitation. Physiotherapists use proven methods such as exercise prescription, taping, joint mobilisation, and dry needling to manage pain and restore function. They are especially skilled in post-injury rehabilitation and surgical recovery, helping patients return safely to work, sport, and daily life.
Where physiotherapy stands out is in structured rehab planning. Physios create tailored programs with measurable milestones, making them ideal for recovery after surgery, sporting injuries, or long-term conditions.
How it links with the team: Physiotherapy provides clear pathways for rehab, while osteopathy, chiropractic, and exercise physiology add broader manual techniques and performance progression.

Chiropractic Care in Unley
Chiropractic care is centred on restoring healthy joint and spinal mobility. Chiropractors often use spinal manipulation and joint adjustments to relieve stiffness, reduce pain, and improve nerve function. At Southside Clinic, our chiropractor also integrates soft tissue therapy, exercise, and rehab strategies for a more holistic approach.
Where chiropractic stands out is in its focus on spinal health and joint mechanics. This makes it particularly effective for patients with back and neck pain, postural issues, or headaches linked to spinal tension.
How it links with the team: Chiropractic offers targeted adjustments that work well alongside the broader whole-body perspective of osteopathy, the structured rehab of physiotherapy, and the long-term programs of exercise physiology.

Exercise physiology uses tailored, evidence-based exercise to prevent, manage, and improve health conditions. Our accredited exercise physiologist designs programs for people living with chronic illnesses (like diabetes, arthritis, or heart disease), recovery after injury or surgery, and performance goals.
Where exercise physiology stands out is in using exercise as medicine. Each program is built around your condition, abilities, and goals — from regaining mobility to building strength, improving cardiovascular health, or reducing injury risk.
How it links with the team: Exercise physiology builds the long-term foundation. Once osteopathy, physiotherapy, or chiropractic care relieve pain and restore movement, exercise physiology ensures those gains are maintained and expanded over time.
