The Advantages of Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy can aid people with many health problems, at different levels of activity, and at different stages in their lives. There are many forms of physiotherapy. Each one has its own goal depending on the individual needs and wants.

Reduce Pain

Physiotherapists are skilled in many types of pain management.

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 improve your range of motion by improving and maintaining joint integrity.

We aim to support your healing from the inside out, assisting you to reduce pain, improving mobility, and managing any conditions you may have.

Strengthen Muscles

Strengthening exercises are a key element of physiotherapy. This is done by assisting you to work the muscle, which stimulates its growth and increases its strength over time.

Prevent Future Injury

A Pinch of Prevention is more than our name. It’s how we want to do things! We believe prevention is better than treatment, and we will do everything we can to prevent future injuries.

What to Look Forward To On Your Physio Appointment?

Physiotherapists deal with the musculoskeletal and are often recommended by GPs for treatment that can reduce stiffness and pain. Physiotherapists can serve people with many conditions. We can work together if something seems ‘off’ or needs improvement.

An initial consultation involves a thorough assessment and informed diagnosis and treatment, which considers relevant symptoms and 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. Your treatment options can be varied and should be discussed with your physiotherapist before you begin treatment.

Your physiotherapist should develop treatment and management plans that suit your needs so that together, you can address the specific problems you are experiencing. You and your goals for physiotherapy are the focal points to the treatment.

A variety of techniques are used by physiotherapists, including joint mobilisation and manipulation, muscle and myofascial releases, trigger point release and manual therapy. Dry needling and exercise therapy are also some of the options. They might also recommend active therapies such as orthotics, taping and hydrotherapy, rebalancing exercises, clinical Pilates or 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.

Physiotherapists can be considered first-contact independent practitioners. If you have an acute injury, or chronic pain or need to visit us, you don’t require a doctor’s referral. A Pinch Of Physiotherapy physiotherapists will gladly work with any healthcare team including podiatrists and dentists and can accept Enhanced Primary Care Plans from your GP.
What qualifications are required for physios?

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. These rules allow patients to be confident that their physiotherapists are board-certified professionals, subject to an ethics code of conduct, and fully informed about current research and techniques in their field.
How many sessions of physiotherapy are required?
It will depend on your personal goals, needs, and treatment plan. Some people may only require a few sessions while others might need an ongoing, long-term treatment plan.
Is there a desired clothing for physio treatment?
There’s no need to dress to impress here! Wear whatever you are comfortable in. If possible, bring something that will allow us the opportunity to treat the affected areas. 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.
Is physiotherapy covered by Medicare or any private health insurance?
This depends on your individual 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.
