The Benefits of Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy can aid people with many health problems, at different levels of activity, and at different stages in their lives. There are many types of physiotherapy. Each has its own goals and each patient will have their own.

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.

What To Expect From Your Physio Appointment?

Physiotherapists treat the musculoskeletal systems and are often recommended by GPs because of their ability to decrease pain and stiffness. A variety of conditions can also be assisted by physiotherapists. Their goal is to make people’s lives easier and their bodies function better. 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. 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.

Answers to Your Physiotherapy Questions

Do I need a referral in order to visit a physical therapist?
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 physiotherapists work with other healthcare professionals, such as dentists, podiatrists, GPs, and naturopaths. We are happy to accept Enhanced primary care plans from your treating doctor.
What qualifications are required for physios?
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. All members must complete at least 20 hours of continuing education each year in order to remain active members of these regulatory bodies. These rules allow patients to be confident that their physiotherapists are board-certified professionals, subject to an ethics code of conduct, and fully informed about current research and techniques in their field.
How many physiotherapy sessions will I need?
Your individual goals, needs and condition will determine how many treatments you need. For some people may only need a couple of sessions, while others may require a more ongoing and long-term plan.
Is there a desired clothing for physio treatment?
There’s no need to dress to impress here! Wear whatever you are comfortable in. If possible, bring something that will allow us the opportunity to treat the affected areas. For example, if you have knee pain you may want to wear shorts, or if you have shoulder pain, a singlet may be a good idea.
Is physiotherapy covered under Medicare or any private health insurance?
It depends on your personal circumstances. 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 do I know if physiotherapy is the right treatment type for my injury or condition?
Contact us if you are unsure if physiotherapy might be right for you. Our physios will meet with you to evaluate your needs and assist you to choose the most beneficial treatment option for you.
