Physio Ashgrove is (from our research) one of the most common searches our patient's use to find us, followed by Physiotherapist Ashgrove and interestingly, Physiotherapy Ashgrove. Patients often search us by suburb first, however, and as a result, some other typical searches include Ashgrove Physio, Ashgrove Physiotherapist and or Ashgrove Physiotherapy. Though not a direct variation to the two above, a broader approach is often taken with a search like; physio near me, or if a practice is more intended then physiotherapy near me is quite often the search. We have found that depending on the demographics the use of the word 'in' features quite heavily, and so we'll often see Physio in Ashgrove, Physiotherapist in Ashgrove and Physiotherapy in Ashgrove as common phrases. In the end, we do our best to be as visible and accessible for our patients in and around our local area as possible.

History of Ashgrove

The suburb’s native name is “Kallindarbin”, and its original inhabitants were the indigenous “Turrbal” or “Duke of York clan.” The first land sales began in 1856 until 1875, after all the available lots in the area were sold. Not long, the suburb’s first school (Ashgrove State School) and post office were established.

Until the late 19th century, Ashgrove remained primarily as a farming district until the land was subdivided and put out for sale and auction.

In 1920, a tram line opened in the suburb and connected Ashgrove to the rest of Brisbane. The tramline remained operational until 1968.

Today, Ashgrove’s distinct characteristics are its hilly terrain and Ashgrovian houses that were built in the 20th century.
