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!

Physiotherapy blends treatment with a deep-rooted discipline, developed over generations. Whatever your injury, it’s designed to help you recover, rebuild, and feel like yourself again.

With treatments such as massage, dry needling, and joint mobilisation, we tailor your care to suit you. Physiotherapy empowers people of all ages and backgrounds to enhance their movement and overall wellbeing.

Our Physio Approach

Physiotherapy isn’t just about treating injuries — it also involves patient education, tailored exercise programs, workplace assessments, pelvic floor health, continence care, and falls prevention.

The physiotherapists at A Pinch Of Prevention are passionate about helping you become the best physical version of yourself, in a way that’s realistic and tailored to you. We take a structured approach to your care, starting with precise assessment and diagnosis, followed by a personalised 4-step program: Release, Re-educate, Reinforce, and Retain.

Release: Loosening the primary muscle affecting the joint to restore more natural function.

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

Reinforce: Supporting recovery by strengthening muscles and reducing the chance of re-injury.

Retain: Helping you hold correct form through movement, allowing you to perform daily tasks and keep moving forward.

The Benefits of Physiotherapy

No matter your stage of life or activity level, physiotherapy can be adapted to your specific health concerns and personal objectives.

Reduce Pain

Well-versed in different pain relief strategies, physiotherapists work to help you feel more comfortable and supported.

Improve Movement

A reduced range of movement from pain or stiffness can be challenging. Physiotherapy aims to maintain joint health and help you move with greater ease.

Assist in Healing

Our goal is to assist your recovery from within, working to ease pain, enhance mobility, and support the management of any conditions.

Strengthen Muscles

Muscle strengthening is a key focus of physiotherapy. We support you through exercises that promote muscle growth and build lasting strength.

Prevent Future Injury

At A Pinch of Prevention, prevention isn’t just in our name—it’s at the heart of what we do! We focus on helping you avoid future injuries wherever possible.

Increase the Quality of Life

Life is for living, so don’t wait another moment! Physiotherapy can boost your endorphins, lifting your mood and enhancing your quality of life.

How Physiotherapy May Help You

Neck Pain
Back Pain
Joint Pain
Sciatica
Whiplash
Shoulder Pain
TMJ or Jaw Pain
Strains and Sprains
Sporting Injuries
Arthritic Conditions
Headaches
Work-Related Injuries

What To Expect From Your Physio Appointment?

GPs often refer patients to physiotherapists because of their expertise in reducing pain and stiffness. We work with many conditions to support better movement and a fuller life. If you feel something could improve, our team is ready to assist!

During your initial consultation, we conduct a full assessment and diagnosis based on your symptoms and medical background. Treatment plans are tailored individually—even for the same condition—and your physiotherapist will explain your options before beginning care.

Your physiotherapist works with you to develop a plan that targets your concerns—be it a sore knee, headaches, arthritis, or a sports injury—focusing on your goals for physiotherapy.

Techniques like joint mobilisation, muscle release, dry needling, and tailored exercise therapy are part of physiotherapy care. Whatever is recommended has been thoughtfully chosen to best support your progress.

Your Physiotherapy Questions Answered

Do I need a referral to see a physio?

Physiotherapists are known as autonomous first-contact practitioners, which means that you do not need a doctor’s referral to come and see us if you have an acute injury or chronic pain. A Pinch Of Physiotherapy’s physiotherapists are happy to collaborate with your healthcare team, whether they are podiatrists, dentists, or another healthcare professional. They are also open to accepting Enhanced Primary Care Plans from your doctor.

What qualifications does a physio 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). To maintain active membership within these regulatory bodies, it is a professional requirement that all members undertake a minimum of 20 hours of Continuing Practice Education (CPE) each calendar year. This allows patients to feel secure that their physiotherapist remains a board-certified professional. They are subject to an ethical code, remain current with research and techniques and have met all of these requirements.

How many physiotherapy sessions will I need?

It will depend on your personal goals, needs, and treatment plan. For some people may only need a couple of sessions, while others may require a more ongoing and long-term plan.

Is there a desired clothing for physio treatment?

Here, you don’t need to dress up! Wear what you feel comfortable in and, if possible, something that will allow us access to the affected area. You might wear shorts if your knee pain is severe, and a singlet if you have pain in your shoulders.

Is physiotherapy covered by Medicare or any private health insurance?

This depends on your individual circumstances. Physiotherapy coverage might be available through Medicare with an Enhanced Primary Care plan. Private health insurance may or not include physiotherapy – check with your provider.

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 physios will meet with you to evaluate your needs and assist you to choose the most beneficial treatment option for you.
