Our Physio Approach
A Pinch Of Prevention’s physiotherapists have a passion for supporting people achieve their physical best. Our physiotherapists begin your treatment by performing a thorough assessment. This is followed by a tailored treatment regimen that incorporates our 4-step process, which includes Release, Re-educate, Reinforce and Retain.
Release: The primary muscle of the joint 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: Strengthening the muscles that are responsible for injury prevention.
Keep: How to keep your form in motion so you can do the tasks you need to make progress in your 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.

The Benefits of Physiotherapy
Reduce Pain
Physiotherapists are well-trained in many different forms of pain management, all of which aim to reduce feelings of pain.
Improve Movement
Stiffness and/or discomfort can result in a decreased range of motion, which could have a negative impact upon your life. Physiotherapy aims for better range of motion through improving joint health.
Assist in Healing
We want to see you heal from within by reducing pain, enhancing mobility, and providing treatment for your symptoms.
Strengthen Muscles
Strengthening exercises play a major role in physiotherapy. This is done by assisting you to work the muscle, which stimulates its growth and increases its strength over time.
Prevent Future Injury
A Pinch of Prevention is more than our name. It’s how we want to do things! We believe prevention is better than treatment, and we will do everything we can to prevent future injuries.
Increase the Quality of Life
Life is there to be lived, so don’t waste a minute more not feeling like the best version of yourself. Physiotherapy increases endorphins, thus increasing your happiness, quality and enjoyment of life.

What To Expect From Your Physio Appointment?
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 are diverse and your physiotherapist should discuss them with you before you begin treatment.
Your physiotherapist will develop treatment and management plans to meet your specific needs. 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 treatment such as electrotherapy, taping, hydrotherapy, and clinical Pilates. Whatever your physiotherapist suggests for you, they’ve considered it carefully and wholly believe that the treatment/s they’ve selected have the best chance of supporting you reach your goals.
