In Control Physiotherapy

The Practice

Practice principal, Sandra Winterbottom has been a physio since 1990 and has been looking after the people of Mt Druitt, St Marys and Penrith since she moved into the area in 1997. In Control Physiotherapy came about when Sandra decided that to provide the quality service she felt patients deserved, she needed to work for herself to allow longer appointment times and better training for staff.

Our standard appointment times are a generous 30 minutes, with Initial appointments usually running longer. So you get plenty of time to discuss any issues with your personal therapist. We undertake regular in-services so our team are all on the same page when it comes to your treatment. This means you can see any of our staff and expect the same high quality treatment. Each of our staff has a special area of interest and skill, so our receptionist can guide you to the best suited practitioner for you.
