Physio Watsonia is (from our research) one of the most common searches our patient's use to find us, followed by Physiotherapist Watsonia and interestingly, Physiotherapy Watsonia. Patients often search us by suburb first, however, and as a result, some other typical searches include Watsonia Physio, Watsonia Physiotherapist and or Watsonia Physiotherapy.

History of Watsonia

Originally belonging to the Wurundjeri people, Watsonia is named after its landowner and early property developer Frank Watson.

In 1924, Watson subdivided his property for housing. Along with landowners, Watson paid to establish a railway station to attract property buyers. The said railway was operational on 23 June 1923. A post office in the suburb was opened ten years after (1934).

Today, Watsonia is a quiet little suburb that is home to mostly Australia-born residents and some migrants from England, China, India and Italy.
