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. 

At A Pinch Of Prevention, our physiotherapists are committed to supporting you in achieving your personal best, working within what’s possible for your body and goals. At A Pinch Of Prevention, we assess and diagnose carefully before crafting your individual treatment plan, built around our proven 4-step approach: Release, Re-educate, Reinforce, and Retain. 

Release: Targeting the primary muscle around the joint that’s contributing to the dysfunction. 

Re-Educate: Improving the biomechanics of key muscles to promote smoother movement and minimise painful episodes. 

Reinforce: Supporting recovery by strengthening muscles and reducing the chance of re-injury.

Retain: Guiding you to maintain good movement patterns so you can continue to live actively and confidently.

The Benefits of Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy takes many forms, helping individuals with different health needs, goals, and activity levels throughout all stages of life.

Reduce Pain

Physiotherapists use a range of pain management approaches, each designed to help minimise pain and improve quality of life.

Improve Movement

Stiffness or pain can limit your range of movement and affect daily life. Physiotherapy works to enhance and maintain joint health, helping you move more freely.

Assist in Healing

Our goal is to assist your recovery from within, working to ease pain, enhance mobility, and support the management of any conditions. 

Strengthen Muscles

Building strength is central to physiotherapy. We guide you in working the muscle to encourage development and improved strength.

Prevent Future Injury

Prevention is our priority at A Pinch of Prevention. We believe it’s better to stay ahead of injuries, and we work with you to help reduce the risk.

Increase the Quality of Life

Life’s too short to put things off—physiotherapy helps get those endorphins going, bringing more happiness and vitality to your everyday life.

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. 

Treatment and management plans are designed around your unique needs, whether you’re dealing with a sore knee, headaches, arthritis, or a sports injury. Your physiotherapy journey is guided by what you hope to achieve. 

Techniques like joint mobilisation, muscle release, dry needling, and tailored exercise therapy are part of physiotherapy care. Whatever is recommended has been thoughtfully chosen to best support your progress.

Your Physiotherapy Questions Answered

Do I need a referral to see a physio?

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 in Australia is a highly regulated industry that requires successful completion of university-level tertiary studies, active membership with The Australian Physiotherapist Association (APA) and registration with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). Each member must complete at least 20 hours in continuing practice education each calendar year to keep their membership active. Compliance with these rules allows patients to feel confident that their physiotherapist is a board-certified professional, subject to an ethical code of conduct and remains fully versed with current research and techniques within their field

How many physiotherapy sessions will I need?

Based on your goals, treatment plans and individual needs, the number of treatments that you might need may vary. Some may only require a few sessions. Others may need a longer-term, more intensive plan.

Is there a desired clothing for physio treatment?

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. You might wear shorts if your knee pain is severe, and a singlet if you have pain in your shoulders.

Can I pay for physiotherapy through Medicare or private insurance?

It depends on your personal 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.

How do I know if physiotherapy is the right treatment type for my injury or condition?

If you’re unsure if physiotherapy is right for you, the best way to find out is to get in touch with us. Our physiotherapists will assess your needs and recommend the best treatment options for you.
