Sore back? Sprained ankle? Desk job taking its toll? Whatever the reason, we’re glad you’re here. At A Pinch of Prevention, we help people of all ages reduce pain and move better. 

What is Physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy is about helping you move and feel better, which is often why people seek care. But there’s much more to it than meets the eye! 

Beyond being a form of physical therapy, physiotherapy is a time-honoured discipline that recognises injury doesn’t define you. There’s always a pathway to recovery and renewal. 

We offer a broad range of treatments like massage, dry needling, and joint mobilisation. Our goal is to work with you to find the right approach, helping you take charge of your mobility and wellbeing.

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. 

The physiotherapists at A Pinch Of Prevention are passionate about helping you become the best physical version of yourself, in a way that’s realistic and tailored to you. Through detailed assessment and clear diagnosis, our physiotherapists create a tailored plan based on our 4 key steps: Release, Re-educate, Reinforce, and Retain. 

Release: Working on the main muscle causing joint dysfunction to promote better movement. 

Re-Educate: Helping the right muscles move efficiently to ease pain and lower the risk of future dysfunction. 

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

Retain: Helping you hold correct form through movement, allowing you to perform daily tasks and keep moving forward.

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!

During your initial consultation, we conduct a full assessment and diagnosis based on your symptoms and medical background. Treatment plans are tailored individually—even for the same condition—and your physiotherapist will explain your options before beginning care. 

Your physiotherapist will create treatment and management plans tailored to your needs, helping you address specific issues like a sore knee, headaches, arthritis, or sports injuries. Your goals are always at the centre of your care. 

From joint mobilisation and manual therapy to dry needling and exercise programs, physiotherapists draw from a wide range of techniques. Any approach suggested is carefully considered to help you achieve your goals.

Your Physiotherapy Questions Answered

Do I need a referral to see a physio?

Physiotherapists can be seen without the need for a referral from a doctor. A Pinch Of Physiotherapy physiotherapists will gladly work with any healthcare team including podiatrists and dentists and can accept Enhanced Primary Care Plans from your GP.

What qualifications are required for physios?

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). All members must complete at least 20 hours of continuing education each year in order to remain active members of these regulatory bodies. 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 physio sessions do I need?

Your individual goals, needs and condition will determine how many treatments you need. 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?

Here, you don’t need to dress up! Wear whatever you’re comfortable in, and wherever possible, wear something that will allow us to work on the affected area. Shorts may be the best option for you if you are experiencing knee pain.

Is physiotherapy covered under Medicare or any private health insurance?

It depends on your personal circumstances. 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 can I tell if physiotherapy is the appropriate treatment for my injury?

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 then determine the best treatment options.
