Your Trusted Physiotherapy Clinic
SUMNER – BRISBANE’S WESTERN SUBURBS
Welcome to Alpha Physio
Alpha Physio was founded in 1988 as Sumner Physiotherapy and was the first physiotherapy centre in the Centenary suburbs. Simon Beagley has owned and operated the clinic since 2021.
The move into new rooms within the Jamboree Centre in 2013 has allowed the practice to expand and take on physiotherapy students. The lovely Debbie, our Practice Manager, is the friendly voice you’ll hear when you call to make your appointment with us.
“Physiotherapy is more than just providing a few treatments and hoping for the best to me – my commitment to full and holistic treatment often results in huge improvements in mobility and pain for my clients. Seeing clients smiling when they leave the practice is why I do what I do.”

Common Questions
What happens during treatment?
You will initially discuss your condition with an experienced physiotherapist. They will examine you and identify your problem, make a diagnosis, and provide you with a detailed explanation of your condition. Our focus is on treating the root cause, not just treating the symptoms. Once diagnosed, you will receive treatment, and your physiotherapist will discuss the need for further visits when and if required.
Do You Need a Doctor’s Referral for Physiotherapy?
No. Physiotherapists are first contact practitioners and you do not require a referral to see one. However many doctors do refer to physiotherapists, so if you have a referral please bring it to the appointment so we can communicate with your doctor.
What is dry needling?
Dry needling uses acupuncture needles within a western medical model to reduce pain. Thin monofilament needles are inserted into muscular trigger points (knots) to relieve muscular pain, promote blood flow, and modulate the nervous system. Certified physical therapists administer the procedure with specialised knowledge and training. Ask your treating physiotherapist if you are interested.
Do you provide NDIS support?
Yes! We love helping NDIS participants improve their lives. If you are self of planned managed, we offer in clinic treatment, gym & hydrotherapy rehabilitation, and home visits.
What times are you open?
Our physiotherapists are available 8:00am – 7:00pm weekdays. Our admin team is available 9:00am – 5:00pm weekdays, so please try to call during this time when possible.
Do you bulk bill doctor care plans?
Yes! If you have a valid care plan from your doctor there is no additional fee. This also applies if you have a valid WorkCover, DVA or CTP claim, or have an NDIS plan.
We’ll go above and beyond to provide the best physiotherapy treatments, so if you want to get started on the road to recovery, contact our clinic and make an appointment with our friendly team so we can help you achieve the results you desire.
