Our Physio Approach
A Pinch Of Prevention’s physiotherapists pride themselves on being highly motivated individuals that are determined to assist you to be the best version of yourself. Our physiotherapists begin your treatment by performing a thorough assessment. This is followed by a tailored treatment regimen that incorporates our 4-step process, which includes Release, Re-educate, Reinforce and Retain.
Release: The primary muscle that causes the dysfunction.
Re-Educate: Learn more about the biomechanics and musculature that control the movement you desire. This reduces pain/episodes associated with painful debility.
Reinforce: Strengthen the appropriate muscles to reduce the risk of future injury.
Keep: How to keep your form in motion so you can do the tasks you need to make progress in your life.
A Pinch of Prevention offers physiotherapy treatment to areas including Camp Hill, Carindale, Coopers Plains, Greenslopes, Holland Park, Mansfield, Robertson, Rochedale, Sailsbury, Sunnybank, Tarragindi, Wishart and surrounding areas.

The Advantages of Physiotherapy
Reduce Pain
Physiotherapists are well-trained in many different forms of pain management, all of which aim to reduce feelings of pain.
Improve Movement
Stiffness and/or discomfort can result in a decreased range of motion, which could have a negative impact upon your life. Physiotherapy aims to drive your range of motion by maintaining and improving joint integrity.
Assist with Healing
Our goal is to support you from the inside out. We can aid in reducing pain, improve mobility and manage any condition you might have.
Strengthen Muscles
Strengthening exercises are an important part of physiotherapy. This involves working the muscle to encourage its growth and increase its strength.
Prevent Future Injury
We believe that prevention is not only our name but our calling! Prevention is always better than cure, so we do all we can to prevent any future injuries.

What to Look Forward To On Your Physio Appointment?
A consultation is a thorough evaluation and informed diagnosis. It also includes a discussion about your medical history. Even if the patient has the same condition, no two treatment plans will be created the same. This goes to show that physiotherapy is all about you. There are many treatment options available and your physiotherapist should talk with you about them before you start treatment.
Your physiotherapist must develop treatment and management strategies that suit your condition and goals. You and your goals for physiotherapy are the focal points to the treatment.
Physiotherapists can use various techniques including manual therapy, dry needling, trigger points release, joint mobilisation and manipulation and muscular and myofascial relief. They may also recommend active treatments such as rebalancing exercises, clinical Pilates, orthotics, taping, hydrotherapy and electrotherapy. Whatever your physiotherapist suggests for you, they’ve considered it carefully and wholly believe that the treatment/s they’ve selected have the best chance of supporting you reach your goals.
