About Us
About Forerunner Physio
Forerunner Physio was founded in 2005 by husband and wife team Tim and Julieanne Jones. The practice moved into new state of the art, purpose-built rooms in 2012. Being a family owned practice makes Forerunner Physio unique in the Manning Valley, providing high quality physiotherapy services
in a friendly, caring and personal environment.
To promote an active approach to patient management Forerunner Physio has incorporated a well-equipped gym which assists in following patients through every stage of their recovery and rehabilitation.
Appointments are structured to offer extended one-on-one patient to physio time, providing the best quality of care.
Our Name
The name Forerunner Physio was inspired by a Scripture from Hebrews 6:19-20 "We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, where our forerunner, Jesus, has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever.."
Our Mission
It is the goal of Forerunner Physio to provide excellence in physiotherapy services, in an environment of care, respect and compassion. We believe in caring for the whole person, and your needs and concerns are important to us.
