A Pinch of Physiotherapy May Be Just What You Need

Whether you’re nursing a sore back, a sprained ankle, or simply feeling the effects of long hours at a desk, A Pinch of Prevention is here to help you move and feel better. 

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. 

A variety of treatments are available, including massage, dry needling, and joint mobilisation. We work with you to find the best fit, helping you take control of your recovery. Physiotherapy can support your mobility and wellbeing at any stage of life.

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. 

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

Re-Educate: Helping the right muscles move efficiently to ease pain and lower the risk of future dysfunction. 

Reinforce: Focused muscle strengthening to protect against recurring injuries.

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

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!

An initial consultation covers a thorough review of your symptoms and medical history, leading to a diagnosis and tailored treatment plan. Physiotherapy is highly individualised, and your options will be discussed with you before treatment starts. 

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. 

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 in order to visit a physical therapist?

A physiotherapist is an autonomous first-contact practitioner. This means you don’t need to be referred by a doctor to see us for acute injuries or chronic pain. A Pinch Of Physiotherapy physiotherapists work with other healthcare professionals, such as dentists, podiatrists, GPs, and naturopaths. We are happy to accept Enhanced primary care plans from your treating doctor.

What qualifications does a physio have?

Physiotherapy is a highly regulated profession in Australia. This includes successful completion of university-level tertiary education, active membership in The Australian Physiotherapist Association and registration with The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency. 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. Patients can feel assured that their physiotherapist has been board-certified, adheres to an ethical code and is up to date with the latest research in their field.

How many physio sessions do I need?

Based on your goals, treatment plans and individual needs, the number of treatments that you might need may vary. 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?

There’s no need to dress to impress here! You can wear whatever you like, but ensure that we can still work on the affected area of your body. 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?

It all depends on your particular case. 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 can I tell if physiotherapy is the appropriate treatment for my injury?

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