We have a passion to give you the best Healthcare experience you will ever have!
Orion Family Physiotherapy (OFP) opened its doors in January 2008, in the fresh new Orion Springfield Town Centre in the medical precinct. Since the doors swung open, OFP has gained a name for “going the extra mile” and genuinely transforming peoples lives, helping with acute injuries and breaking chronic pain cycles. With around 30 amazing team members now OFP has developed a truly unique positive culture and has a trusted name in the Greater Springfield and CBD region amongst both patients and their families, as well as numerous GP’s and Health Care clinics and more than a few local sporting clubs.
Growing almost solely by word of mouth and ever increasing health professional referrals, OFP has now given hope and healthcare to over 23,000 patients and OFP practitioners often see patients beyond Greater Springfield with some coming from as far as Ipswich City and surrounds, Sunshine and Gold Coast, Forest Lake, Brisbane inner suburbs and of course the 4300 postcode suburbs all around Greater Springfield.
So overwhelming and positive has the response been to OFP’s “Healthcare that (actually) Cares” unique approach – we are now multi-award winning:
Greater Springfield Chamber of Commerce Presidents award for “Small Business of the year” (2010).
U.Q. College and Ipswich Chamber of Commerce “Young Business Person of the Year” (2014).
G.S. Chamber of Commerce “Member’s Choice Finalist” (2019).

It all began in 2007 when Founder and Principal Physiotherapist, Adam Atherton, had a dream to provide a Healthcare experience with a difference, “Healthcare that Cares”. A place where modern science meets good ol’ fashioned care factor – the key ingredient in healthcare that is often missing in the busy modern world and healthcare sector.
With diverse experiences derived from private practice settings in Brisbane’s western suburbs and St. Lucia, co-leading the physio dept. for a large RSL aged care facility to Sports Physio experiences working as the team physio for Soccer, AFL and Mixed Martial Arts clubs, Adam began in the Greater Springfield area running a successful mobile physiotherapy business in 2007 (with a portable table in the back of his old subaru liberty 🙂
Adam was passionate to open a destination clinic that was fresh, innovative and honest in the then new Orion Springfield Town Centre in the heart of the growing new city here in Springfield Central.
