Mitcham Rehab Clinic started out over 30 years ago and have been servicing the greater Adelaide area ever since. In early 2000 the clinic expanded to include Adelaide’s only SwimEx Hydrotherapy Pool which has been a fantastic addition to their facilities to aid in many areas of injury rehabilitation.
On 1 July 2021 sportsmed Physiotherapy and Mitcham Rehab Clinic officially merged together and we are excited they are now part of the sportsmed family.
