A Pinch of Physiotherapy May Be Just What You Need

What is Physiotherapy?

Looking to move and feel better? That’s the heart of physiotherapy – but it also goes beyond just improving symptoms to support your overall wellbeing. 

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. 

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

As an intervention, physiotherapy touches all stages of life, from treating injuries and prescribing exercises to occupational health assessments, pelvic floor care, continence management, and falls risk mitigation. 

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. Our physiotherapists begin with a thorough assessment and accurate diagnosis, then develop a personalised treatment plan using our 4-step process: Release, Re-educate, Reinforce, and Retain. 

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

Re-Educate: Guiding the muscles involved in movement to function properly, decreasing discomfort and preventing recurring pain. 

Reinforce: Focused muscle strengthening to protect against recurring 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 focus on the musculoskeletal system and are often recommended by GPs for their ability to help ease pain and stiffness. We also work with a wide range of conditions to help you move better and enjoy life to the fullest. If something feels off, we’re here to help!

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. 

Your physiotherapist will create treatment and management plans tailored to your needs, helping you address specific issues like a sore knee, headaches, arthritis, or sports injuries. Your goals are always at the centre of your care. 

Your physiotherapist may use techniques like joint mobilisation, manual therapy, myofascial release, trigger point release, dry needling, and exercise therapy. Each recommendation is thoughtfully selected to give you the best chance of success.

Your Physiotherapy Questions Answered

Do physiotherapists appointments require a referral?
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. 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 has a strict regulatory board. It requires successful completion of at least one year of university-level tertiary study, active membership with The Australian Physiotherapist Association or AHPRA registration and active membership with The Australian Physiotherapist Association. It is a requirement for all members to complete at least 20 hours of continuing practice education (CPE) annually in order to maintain an active membership with these regulatory bodies. 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 physio sessions will I need?
Your individual goals, needs and condition will determine how many treatments you need. Some people may only require a few sessions while others might need an ongoing, long-term treatment plan.
What should I wear during a physio appointment?
You don’t have to dress up to impress! You can wear whatever you like, but ensure that we can still work on the affected area of your body. For example, if you have knee pain you may want to wear shorts, or if you have shoulder pain, a singlet may be a good idea.
Can I pay for physiotherapy through Medicare or private 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?
You can get in touch with us to determine if physiotherapy is for you. Our physio team will work with you to assess your needs and determine the best possible treatment options, if any, that may be beneficial for you.
