A Pinch of Physiotherapy May Be Just What You Need

Sore back? Sprained ankle? Desk job taking its toll? Whatever the reason, we’re glad you’re here. At A Pinch of Prevention, we help people of all ages reduce pain and move better. 

What is Physiotherapy?

Feeling and moving better is often the goal when seeking healthcare, and physiotherapy certainly helps with that – while also offering a broader range of benefits! 

More than physical therapy, physiotherapy is a discipline that has evolved to show that injury isn’t the end of your story. It supports recovery and encourages meaningful progress. 

From massage and dry needling to joint mobilisation, we offer a range of treatments tailored to you. No matter your background or condition, physiotherapy can help you move and feel your best.

Our Physio Approach

Physiotherapy covers many areas of life, including injury treatment and prevention, education, exercise programs, occupational health checks, pelvic floor support, continence care, and falls prevention. 

A Pinch Of Prevention’s physiotherapists are focused on helping you reach your personal physical best, whatever that may look like for you within your own capabilities. Through detailed assessment and clear diagnosis, our physiotherapists create a tailored plan based on our 4 key steps: Release, Re-educate, Reinforce, and Retain. 

Release: Focusing on the key muscle impacting the joint to address the source of dysfunction. 

Re-Educate: Improving the biomechanics of key muscles to promote smoother movement and minimise painful episodes. 

Reinforce: Building strength in the right muscles to help prevent future injuries.

Retain: Guiding you to maintain good movement patterns so you can continue to live actively and confidently.

What To Expect From Your Physio Appointment?

Physiotherapists work with the body’s musculoskeletal system and are trusted by GPs to help with pain, stiffness, and mobility. If you’re not feeling your best, we’re here to help you get back on track!

Your first consultation involves a comprehensive assessment and informed diagnosis, carefully considering your symptoms and medical history. No two treatment plans are identical, showing how personalised physiotherapy truly is. Your physiotherapist will review your treatment options with you beforehand. 

Treatment and management plans are designed around your unique needs, whether you’re dealing with a sore knee, headaches, arthritis, or a sports injury. Your physiotherapy journey is guided by what you hope to achieve. 

From joint mobilisation and manual therapy to dry needling and exercise programs, physiotherapists draw from a wide range of techniques. Any approach suggested is carefully considered to help you achieve your goals.

Your Physiotherapy Questions Answered

Do I need a referral to see a physio?

Physiotherapists can be seen without the need for a referral from a doctor. The physiotherapists of A Pinch Of Physiotherapy are more than happy to work alongside your healthcare team; be they podiatrists, dentists, GPs or naturopaths; and are delighted to accept Enhanced Primary Care plans from your treating physician.

What qualifications do physios have?

Physiotherapy in Australia is a highly regulated industry that requires successful completion of university-level tertiary studies, active membership with The Australian Physiotherapist Association (APA) and registration with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). All members must complete at least 20 hours of continuing education each year in order to remain active members of these regulatory bodies. Compliance with these rules allows patients to feel confident that their physiotherapist is a board-certified professional, subject to an ethical code of conduct and remains fully versed with current research and techniques within their field

How many physio sessions do I need?

Your individual goals, needs and condition will determine how many treatments you need. For some people may only need a couple of sessions, while others may require a more ongoing and long-term plan.

What should I wear during a physio appointment?

Here, you don’t need to dress up! You can wear whatever you like, but ensure that we can still work on the affected area of your body. Shorts may be the best option for you if you are experiencing knee pain.

Is physiotherapy covered by Medicare or any private health insurance?

It depends on your personal circumstances. Physiotherapy coverage may be available through Medicare with an Enhanced Primary Care Plan, and if you have private health cover this may or may not include physiotherapy– we recommend you check with your insurer if you’re unsure.

How do I know if physiotherapy is the right treatment type for my injury or condition?

Contact us if you are unsure if physiotherapy might be right for you. Our physiotherapists will assess your needs and recommend the best treatment options for you.
