What is Physiotherapy?

Visiting physiotherapy means you want to feel and move better. But it’s more than that!

Physiotherapy, in addition to being a form of physical therapy, is an art form and a discipline that has been evolving over many, many years. It was founded on the belief that a person’s physical injury does not have to be the final straw in their lives. Whatever type of injury you have, there are physiotherapy options that will support you feel in your best shape again.

You have a variety of treatment options available, including dry needling, massage, joint mobilisation and many others. We will work with you to determine the best treatment option for you. This will allow you to feel in complete control. Remember, this is your body. You’re the one who controls it and we are here to support you manage it.

Your life can take on a new meaning by using physiotherapy. 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.

Physiotherapy can be a valuable tool for improving mobility and well being, no matter your age or condition. Physiotherapy can help you whether you are a student, athlete, or senior citizen.

Our Physio Approach

Our treatment covers many aspects of life, including injury treatment and prevention, patient education, exercise prescription and occupational health assessment. It also includes continence care for men or women and falls risk assessment and mitigation.

A Pinch Of Prevention’s physiotherapists pride themselves on being highly motivated individuals that are determined to assist you to be the best version of yourself. Our physiotherapists will first assess you and then give you a diagnosis. After that, they will create a treatment plan suitable for you following this four-step process: Release, Re-educate, Reinforce and Retain.

Release: The primary muscular component of the joint that is causing dysfunction.

Re-Educate: Learn more about the biomechanics and musculature that control the movement you desire. This reduces pain/episodes associated with painful debility.

Reinforce: Strengthen the appropriate muscles to reduce the risk of future injury.

Retain: How to hold your form during movement so you can perform the functions you need to do to move forward in your life.

A Pinch of Prevention offers physiotherapy treatment to areas including Camp Hill, Carindale, Coopers Plains, Greenslopes, Holland Park, Mansfield, Robertson, Rochedale, Sailsbury, Sunnybank, Tarragindi, Wishart and surrounding areas.

The Benefits 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 types of physiotherapy. Each has its own goals and each patient will have their own.

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.

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. To do this we support you to work the muscle which encourages its growth, and in time, increases its strength.

Prevent Future Injury

Prevention is more than just our motto. It’s our business! Prevention is always better than cure, so we do all we can to prevent any future injuries.

An Improved Quality of Life

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

What to Expect During Your Physio Appointment?

Physiotherapists treat the musculoskeletal systems and are often recommended by GPs because of their ability to decrease pain and stiffness. Physiotherapists also work with people with a variety of conditions, aiming to support their bodies to move better and get the most out of life. If you have any concerns or feel like something isn’t right, we are the team for you!

The initial consultation includes a detailed assessment, diagnosis and treatment. This takes into consideration your medical history as well as relevant symptoms. 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 will develop treatment and management plans to meet your specific needs. Your treatment should be centred around you, and the results you want from physiotherapy.

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 may also recommend active treatment such as electrotherapy, taping, hydrotherapy, and clinical Pilates. No matter what your physiotherapist recommends, they have done extensive research and believe the recommended treatment will be the best for you.

Your Physiotherapy Questions Answered

Do I need a referral in order to visit a physical therapist?
Physiotherapists are known as autonomous first-contact practitioners, which means that you do not need a doctor’s referral to come and see us if you have an acute injury 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 do physios 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?
It will depend on your personal goals, needs, and treatment plan. Some may only require a few sessions. Others may need a longer-term, more intensive plan.
What should I wear for my physio appointment?
You don’t have to dress up to impress! 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.
Are Medicare and private health insurance accepted for physiotherapy?
It all depends on your particular case. Physiotherapy coverage might be available through Medicare with an Enhanced Primary Care plan. Private health insurance may or not include physiotherapy – check with your provider.
How do I know if physiotherapy is the right treatment type for my injury or condition?
You can get in touch with us to determine if physiotherapy is for you. Our physio team will work with you to assess your needs and determine the best possible treatment options, if any, that may be beneficial for you.
