It’s not every day a local business reaches a 20-year milestone – and at Logan Physio, this achievement means much more than just two decades of operation. It’s a celebration of community, evolution, and the countless people who have made the clinic what it is today.
When owners Sandy and Justine reflect on their journey, it’s clear that Logan Physio’s story is one built on dedication, care, and a deep connection to the people of Logan.
A Clinic with Deep Roots in the Logan Community
Long before it became the Logan Physio we know today, the clinic had already been part of the local health landscape for years. In fact, it’s one of the oldest physiotherapy clinics in Logan, with a history that stretches back over 40 years.
Sandy and Justine took over the clinic 20 years ago, but the story of how that happened is one for the books. While travelling through Europe, in a small ferry port town in Italy called Ancona, they happened to check in at an internet café – and there it was. The clinic, listed for sale.
At first, it was just an interesting thought. But after returning home to Australia, the listing was still up – and that serendipitous moment led them to make a life-changing decision: to buy the clinic and begin a new chapter in Logan.
From a House to a Hub of Health and Movement
When they first purchased the clinic, it was a simple converted house – complete with a large office space that greeted visitors as soon as they walked in. Over the years, that space evolved dramatically.
Prior to our purchase the clinic had moved from the row of shops opposite the clinic into the current property which was purchased by the previous owner Celia Reed. What used to be a garage and carport was transformed into a further 3 fully equipped treatment rooms, giving the team more flexibility to help patients recover and thrive. In 2007, the old office walls came down, opening up the space to create a more welcoming environment and a much improved larger gym space.
And while the previous pastel blue and apricot paint choices were replaced by a more modern aesthetic with each stage of change reflected a commitment to growth and better service.
Building a Modern Physiotherapy Space
As the needs of patients grew, so did the clinic. What started as a small community practice became a modern, fully equipped physiotherapy and rehabilitation space.
One of the biggest changes came with the expansion of the gym area, which allowed the team to incorporate more advanced exercise-based rehabilitation programs.
The introduction of Pilates from day one set Logan Physio apart early on – combining movement, strength, and control to support long-term results. And as patients began to outgrow the standard setups, the clinic invested in new gym equipment to take training and rehabilitation to the next level.
Today, Logan Physio is proud to offer the latest in movement and performance technology, including the VALD 3D video analysis system – to assess movement patterns and strength with precision. The team is even looking to expand this technology further with VALD strength testing equipment, ensuring patients have access to the most up-to-date tools in physiotherapy care.
Two Decades of Teamwork and Community
Over 20 years, a number of staffhave been part of the Logan Physio family. Each person has contributed to the welcoming, patient-centred culture that defines the clinic.
Some staff have come and gone quickly (“Our shortest-term physio lasted two days!” Sandy jokes), but others have stayed for years – helping build the strong, trusted relationships that keep patients coming back.
Special recognition goes to Ash, the clinic’s friendly and capable receptionist, who manages one of the toughest jobs in the business. With more than 120-130 appointments each week, plus handling computer systems and patient coordination, her work keeps the clinic running smoothly and patients well cared for.
Celebrating the People Who Made It Possible
At the 20-year celebration, Sandy and Justine took a moment to reflect on just how far the clinic – and the community – have come together.
From humble beginnings to a thriving centre for physiotherapy and rehabilitation, every step has been shaped by the loyalty and trust of patients. To say thank you, the team put together small gifts and awards for some of their long-term patients and supporters – a heartfelt gesture to show their appreciation.
“Everyone here is really special to us,” Sandy said at the event. “We just wanted to give back a little bit and thank the people who’ve been part of our journey.”
Highlights from the 20-Year Celebration
No Logan Physio event would be complete without some fun and friendly competition! 🎉
Here are a few highlights from the day – scroll down to see the photos below!
- Sandy and Justine went head-to-head in a light-hearted three-exercise challenge, testing their endurance and strength with a plank, side plank, and superman hold.
The crowd loved it – plenty of cheering, a few laughs, and a great display of teamwork and spirit. - Patients and staff shared stories, enjoyed sweet treats, and caught up over coffee and conversation.
- Awards were handed out to recognise some of Logan Physio’s longest-standing clients and supporters – a wonderful way to celebrate those who have been part of the journey since the early days and also those who have joined more recently but quickly become part of the Logan Physio family.
The celebration wasn’t just about looking back – it was about acknowledging the people, energy, and community spirit that continue to move Logan Physio forward.
Looking Back – and Ahead
