Our Physio Approach

Physiotherapy as an intervention encompasses many aspects of the life journey such as injury treatment and prevention, patient education, exercise prescription, occupational health assessment, pelvic floor health, continence care for men and women, and falls risk assessment and mitigation practices.

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.

Release: The main muscle that is causing the dysfunction.

Re-Educate: The biomechanics of the musculature responsible for the desired movement, to operate more efficiently so as to decrease pain/episodes of painful debility. 

Reinforce: Conditioning the relevant muscles to reduce the chance of injury reoccurring.

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

The Advantages of Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy is beneficial to people with different health conditions, at different ages and in different stages. 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 or pain can lead to reduced movement and may impact your quality of life. Physiotherapy aims at improving your range of motion and maintaining joint integrity.

We want to see you heal from within by reducing pain, enhancing mobility, and providing treatment for your symptoms.

Strengthen Muscles

Strengthening exercises are a crucial part of physiotherapy. This involves working the muscle to encourage its growth and increase its strength.

Prevent Future Injury

We believe that prevention is not only our name but our calling! 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 work with the musculoskeletal system, and are often recommended by GPs due to their ability to assist to reduce pain and stiffness. People with various conditions may also be treated by physiotherapists. They aim to improve their mobility and aid them to live a better life. If you feel that something ‘isn’t quite right’ or could use some improvement in any way, we’re the team to turn to!

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 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 employ a variety of techniques, such as joint mobilisation, manipulation, trigger point relief, manual therapy and dry needling. They may also recommend active treatments such as rebalancing exercises, clinical Pilates, orthotics, taping, hydrotherapy and electrotherapy. Your physiotherapist will recommend the right treatment for you. They have carefully considered the options and are confident that they can aid you to achieve your goals.

Answers to Your Physiotherapy Questions

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. The physiotherapists of A Pinch Of Physiotherapy are more than happy to work alongside your healthcare team; be they podiatrists, dentists, GPs or naturopaths; and are delighted to accept Enhanced Primary Care plans from your treating physician.

Patients can feel assured that their physiotherapist has been board-certified, adheres to an ethical code and is up to date with the latest research in their field.
How many physio sessions do I need?
Based on your goals, treatment plans and individual needs, the number of treatments that you might need may vary. For some, they might only need a few sessions. Others might require a long-term and more comprehensive plan.
What should I wear during a physio appointment?
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. Shorts may be the best option for you if you are experiencing knee pain.
Are Medicare and private health insurance accepted for physiotherapy?
It depends on your personal circumstances. Physiotherapy coverage may also be available through Medicare under an Enhanced Primary Care plan. Private health insurance may or may not cover physiotherapy. We recommend that you speak with your insurer for advice.
