From the outset, the practice has aimed to provide a comprehensive physiotherapy service both to sports people and the general public in the ACT. A second North Canberra practice, SportsCare and Physiotherapy O'Connor was originally founded in 2001 as Focus On Movement Physiotherapy before changing to SportsCare with the introduction of Cassandra Carey as a partner in 2005.
