PETER RIDLEY
FOUNDER (RETIRED)
Peter Ridley founded Burleigh Central Physiotherapy originally and practiced in the Burleigh Heads community for more than 25 years before retiring in December 2016 to pursue his other passions – surfing and photography. For many patients, Peter transformed their lives, and gave them functional ability they didn’t know was possible. It was important to Peter that he leave the practice in capable hands, and Josh Noble shared the same treatment principles, ethics and values as Peter. Peter remains a part of the practice family, with his partner Tracy and son Andrew continuing in their roles here.
