What is Physiotherapy?
As well as a physical therapy treatment, physiotherapy is an art and a discipline that has evolved 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. There is a form of physiotherapy for every injury. It aims to promote healing and meaningful change.
A variety of treatments are available including massage, dry needling and joint mobilisation. We work together to find the best form of treatment that suits you. It’s your body, you are the captain of your ship. We’re here to support you stay afloat.
You can find new meaning in your life by restoring it through the discipline and art of physiotherapy. In time, this may enable you to truly live your life again in a manner that brings you joy. If you want to play sport, keep up with the grandkids, or enjoy walks with your dog, physiotherapy can help you!
Physiotherapy can be a valuable tool for improving mobility and well being, no matter your age or condition. Physiotherapy could be the right treatment for you, whether you’re a student or an office worker or senior citizen.
Our Physio Approach
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. Your treatment begins with a thorough assessment, followed by sound diagnosis. Then, a customised treatment program is created that includes our 4-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: Conditioning the relevant muscles to reduce the chance of injury reoccurring.
Retain: How do you hold your body during movement to allow you to perform the functions you need in order to move forward in 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.

Your physiotherapist will not only treat symptoms of a specific injury. It will also provide long-term health maintenance and advice for you to live a healthier lifestyle.
What to Look Forward To On Your Physio Appointment?
An initial consultation involves a thorough assessment and informed diagnosis and treatment, which considers relevant symptoms and your medical history. No two patients’ treatment plans will look the same, even if they have the same condition, so it goes to show that physiotherapy truly is about you! There are many treatment options available and your physiotherapist should talk with you about them before you start treatment.
Your physiotherapist should create bespoke treatment and management plans that are suitable to your needs after working together on the problems that you have. Your treatment should be centred around you, and the results you want from physiotherapy.
Physiotherapists use a range of techniques which include things like joint mobilisation and manipulation, muscular and myofascial release, trigger point release, manual therapy, dry needling, and exercise therapy. They may also recommend active treatments such as rebalancing exercises, clinical Pilates, orthotics, taping, hydrotherapy and electrotherapy. Whatever treatment your physiotherapist suggests, they have considered it thoroughly and fully believe that the treatment they recommend will assist you to reach your goals.
