Where Science & Art Become One
Welcome to Mackie Physiotherapy, where you are our priority. Our goal is to ensure that each patient receives personalized care, specific to their injury or needs, and that they are exceptionally well taken care of from the moment they arrive, until the moment they leave. We strive to be leaders in patient care and customer relations, and attack each case with a sincere desire to provide the most complete rehabilitation possible. The down home, family atmosphere, along with many years of experience and specialty training, has led to a large history of patient successes and a level of confidence in our care for you.
