What is Physiotherapy?

Looking to move and feel better? That’s the heart of physiotherapy – but it also goes beyond just improving symptoms to support your overall wellbeing. 

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. 

A variety of treatments are available, including massage, dry needling, and joint mobilisation. We work with you to find the best fit, helping you take control of your recovery. Physiotherapy can support your mobility and wellbeing at any stage of life.

Our Physio Approach

From injury recovery and prevention to occupational health, pelvic floor support, continence care, and falls risk management, physiotherapy supports many aspects of your health journey. 

At A Pinch Of Prevention, our physiotherapists are committed to supporting you in achieving your personal best, working within what’s possible for your body and goals. Our physiotherapists begin with a thorough assessment and accurate diagnosis, then develop a personalised treatment plan using our 4-step process: Release, Re-educate, Reinforce, and Retain. 

Release: Focusing on the key muscle impacting the joint to address the source of dysfunction. 

Re-Educate: Improving the biomechanics of key muscles to promote smoother movement and minimise painful episodes. 

Reinforce: Building strength in the right muscles to help prevent future injuries.

Retain: Showing you how to preserve proper form during activities, helping you achieve your goals and sustain progress.

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!

An initial consultation covers a thorough review of your symptoms and medical history, leading to a diagnosis and tailored treatment plan. Physiotherapy is highly individualised, and your options will be discussed with you before treatment starts. 

Your physiotherapist works with you to develop a plan that targets your concerns—be it a sore knee, headaches, arthritis, or a sports injury—focusing on your goals for physiotherapy. 

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 considered first-contact independent practitioners. If you have an acute injury, or chronic pain or need to visit us, you don’t require a doctor’s referral. 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 is a highly regulated profession in Australia. This includes successful completion of university-level tertiary education, active membership in The Australian Physiotherapist Association and registration with The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency. Each member must complete at least 20 hours in continuing practice education each calendar year to keep their membership active. 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?
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.
Is there a desired clothing for physio treatment?
Here, you don’t need to dress up! Wear what you feel comfortable in and, if possible, something that will allow us access to 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 by Medicare or any private health insurance?
It depends on your personal 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?
If you’re unsure if physiotherapy is right for you, the best way to find out is to get in touch with us. Our physios will meet with you to evaluate your needs and assist you to choose the most beneficial treatment option for you.
