What is Physiotherapy?

When you seek healthcare  you’re hoping to feel and move better– and that’s what physiotherapy aims to provide. However, it’s much more than that!

Physiotherapy is not only a physical treatment. It is considered an art and a discipline that has evolved over many years. It was born out of the recognition that a physical injury doesn’t need to be the beginning and the end of a person’s existence. Whatever type of injury you have, there are physiotherapy options that will support you feel in your best shape again.

There are many physiotherapy treatments that may suit you, such as dry needling, massage and joint mobilisation. We will work with you to determine the best treatment option for you. This will allow you to feel in complete control. After all, it’s your body– you’re steering this ship, we’re just here to keep you afloat!

Through the art and discipline of physiotherapy new meaning can be restored back to your life. In time, this may enable you to truly live your life again in a manner that brings you joy. You can live your dreams if you are a passionate footy player, an aspiring dancer or just want to keep up with your grandkids.

No matter what your profession or age, physiotherapy can make your life manageable and improve your well-being. Physiotherapy could be the right treatment for you, whether you’re a student or an office worker or senior citizen.

What to Look Forward To On Your Physio Appointment?

Physiotherapists are professionals in the musculoskeletal system and are often recommended by GPs for their ability to reduce stiffness and pain. Physiotherapists can serve people with many conditions. We are the team to call if you feel something is ‘not quite right’ or you need some extra support.

Initial consultations include a comprehensive assessment, informed diagnosis and treatment. This includes taking into account your medical history and relevant symptoms. No two patients’ treatment plans will look the same, even if they have the same condition, so it goes to show that physiotherapy truly is about you! Your treatment options can be varied and should be discussed with your physiotherapist before you begin treatment.

Your physiotherapist must develop treatment and management strategies that suit your condition and goals. It doesn’t matter if you have a sore knee or headaches. Your treatment will be tailored to you and what you expect from physiotherapy.

Physiotherapists can use various techniques including manual therapy, dry needling, trigger points release, joint mobilisation and manipulation and muscular and myofascial relief. 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.

What qualifications are required for physios?

Your individual goals, needs and condition will determine how many treatments you need. For some, they might only need a few sessions. Others might require a long-term and more comprehensive plan.

You don’t have to dress up to impress! Wear what you feel comfortable in and, if possible, something that will allow us access to the affected area.
