Physiotherapy can be a powerful tool to get you back on the sports field, whether you are a student, an office worker, senior citizen or someone who is trying to achieve the highest level of success in your chosen profession.

How You Can Benefit From 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 are trained in many forms of pain management. They all aim to reduce pain.

Improve Movement

Stiffness, pain, and/or stiffness can cause a reduction in movement that may have a negative effect on your daily life. Physiotherapy aims to improve your range of motion by improving 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

A Pinch of Prevention is more than our name. It’s how we want to do things! Prevention is always better than cure. We do our best to serve our patients and ensure they prevent any future injuries.

Life is there to be lived, so don’t waste a minute more not feeling like the best version of yourself. Physiotherapy can increase your happiness and quality of life by boosting endorphin levels.

What to Expect During 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. 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. We are the team to call if you feel something is ‘not quite right’ or you need some extra support.

The initial consultation includes a detailed assessment, diagnosis and treatment. This takes into consideration your medical history as well as relevant symptoms. There will no single treatment plan that is the same for every patient, regardless of whether they have the same conditions. 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 may also recommend active techniques such as clinical Pilates, rebalancing, orthotics and taping. No matter what your physiotherapist recommends, they have done extensive research and believe the recommended treatment will be the best for you.

Answers to Your Physiotherapy Questions

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’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 does a physio 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. It is a requirement for all members to complete at least 20 hours of continuing practice education (CPE) annually in order to maintain an active membership with these regulatory bodies. 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 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 during a physio appointment?
You don’t have to dress up to impress! Wear whatever you’re comfortable in, and wherever possible, wear something that will allow us to work on the affected area. You might wear shorts if your knee pain is severe, and a singlet if you have pain in your shoulders.
Is physiotherapy covered under Medicare or any private health insurance?
This will depend on your specific condition. 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 can I tell if physiotherapy is the appropriate treatment for my injury?
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 then determine the best treatment options.
