What is Physiotherapy?

You come to physiotherapy hoping to feel better and be able to move better. It’s so much more than this!

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 the injury, there is physiotherapy that can ease your discomfort and feel better. It promotes recovery and helps you return to the activities you love.

There’s a range of treatments available such as massage, dry needling, joint mobilisation, and more. We work together to find the best form of treatment that suits you. Remember, this is your body. You’re the one who controls it and we are here to support you manage it.

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. If you’re a dedicated footy player, an aspiring dancer, or want to keep up with the grandkids, living your dream may be closer than you think!

Physiotherapy is a useful tool that can maximise your mobility and well-being, regardless of your age, condition or injury. Physiotherapy can help you whether you are a student, athlete, or senior citizen.

The Advantages of Physiotherapy

Physio may aid a range of people with a variety of health concerns, at different activity levels, and in different stages of life. Physiotherapy comes in many different forms, all with their own end goals in mind depending on the patient’s individual wants and needs.

Reduce Pain

Physiotherapists have a wide range of training in pain management. All of these methods aim to reduce pain.

Improve Movement

Stiffness and/or pain may lead to a reduced range of movement, which may have a negative impact on your life. Physiotherapy aims at improving your range of motion and maintaining joint integrity.

Assist with Healing

Our goal is to support you from the inside out. We can aid in reducing pain, improve mobility and manage any condition you might have.

Strengthen Muscles

Strengthening exercises are an important part 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.

An Improved Quality of Life

Life is meant to be enjoyed, so don’t wait a minute longer to get started! Physiotherapy gets those endorphins flowing, increasing your happiness and quality of life.

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. People with various conditions may also be treated by physiotherapists. They aim to improve their mobility and aid them to live a better life. 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 though they may have the same condition or symptoms, no two patients will receive the exact same treatment plan. It is important to remember that physiotherapy is tailored to your needs. 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. Whether that’s a sore knee, headaches, arthritis, or a sports injury, your treatment is centred around you and what you hope to get out of 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 treatment your physiotherapist suggests, they have considered it thoroughly and fully believe that the treatment they recommend will assist you to reach your goals.

Your Physiotherapy Questions Answered

Do I need to be referred to a physiotherapist?
Physiotherapists can be seen without the need for a referral from a doctor. A Pinch Of Physiotherapy’s physiotherapists are happy to collaborate with your healthcare team, whether they are podiatrists, dentists, or another healthcare professional. They are also open to accepting Enhanced Primary Care Plans from your doctor.
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. All members must complete at least 20 hours of continuing education each year in order to remain active members of 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 physiotherapy sessions will I need?
The number of treatments you may need will vary based on your individual goals, needs and treatment plan. For some people may only need a couple of sessions, while others may require a more ongoing and long-term plan.
What should I wear for my physio appointment?
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. Shorts may be the best option for you if you are experiencing knee pain.
Is physiotherapy covered under Medicare or any private health insurance?
This depends on your individual circumstances. You may be eligible for physiotherapy coverage through Medicare with an Enhanced Primary Care Plan. If you have private insurance, this may or might not cover physiotherapy.
How do I know if physiotherapy is the right treatment type for my injury or condition?
Get in touch with our team if you aren’t sure physiotherapy would be right for your needs. Our physiotherapists will assess your needs and recommend the best treatment options for you.
