How To Access - For Online Bookings

Note to customers - we’re improving access

We’re currently making a few improvements around the site.

Our new sliding gate is due to be installed in the next few weeks, and the building signage will also be replaced soon. The old “Physiotherapy” sign is still visible at the moment - don’t worry, you haven’t accidentally booked a treatment room!

You may see contractors working on site while the improvements are completed. Thanks for your patience while we make the facility easier to access and easier to find.

How to change the code on your padlock

Steps to Change the Code:

  • Set to Default/Current Code: Align the 4 dials to the current combination. The factory default is 0-0-0-0.
  • Open the Lock: Pull up the shackle (the top handle) to open the padlock.
  • Turn the Shackle: Turn the shackle 180 degrees (or 90 degrees on some models) counter-clockwise so that the notch on the shackle aligns with the slot inside the lock body.
  • Press and Set: Press the shackle down into the body, then turn the dials to your new desired 4-digit combination.
  • Finish: Release the shackle, allowing it to spring back up, and turn it back to the original locked position.
