Physio Services
Whether you're a weekend warrior, a competitive athlete, or simply chasing after your kids, pain or restricted movement can stop you from doing what matters most.
Adopting a holistic, non-invasive approach to pain and limited function can lead to lasting improvement. Physiotherapy targets the root cause of your injury or condition, helping you recover and regain your normal activities.
What is
Physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy, or physical therapy, is an allied health service delivered by skilled professionals. Physiotherapists assess your condition in-depth to uncover the root cause of your pain or mobility issues, providing a clear diagnosis and effective treatment plan.
Creating a treatment plan involves addressing the issue, preventing recurrence, and integrating your personal goals, such as sports performance and everyday activities, into your recovery journey.
Treatment may include various physiotherapy techniques tailored to your specific needs. A hands-on approach, with manual therapy as a central component, is used, along with devices and technology when necessary. Education and advice on exercises and prevention are key parts of your treatment plan.
What to Expect at a
Physio Appointment
During your first appointment, our physiotherapists in Canberra will perform a thorough evaluation, discuss your concerns, and review your medical history. They will then create a personalised treatment plan to address your specific needs and goals, potentially involving other health professionals for comprehensive care.
Physiotherapy treatment may include the following:
- Manual therapy, such as joint manipulation and mobilisation, soft tissue work, and stretching.
- Resources and equipment, such as gait analysis technology and VALD Dual force plates, which can provide analysis of strength & movement imbalance.
- Complete Concussion management and treatment.
- Assessing foot function and strapping.
- Education on posture, exercise prescription, and biomechanical issues as well as exercise and stretching prescription, such as core strengthening and stability for the neck and back.
Conditions
We Treat
Physiotherapy offers a multi-faceted approach to treating various conditions. Our experienced physiotherapists work to reduce pain and enhance mobility, while also targeting the root causes of your symptoms to improve your overall health.
For instance, physiotherapy can help alleviate migraines by addressing joint stiffness or hypomobility in the neck. By improving your posture, physiotherapy can reduce pain, enhance movement, and even combat fatigue.
Some concerns that can benefit from physiotherapy include:
- Sports injuries, including joint, bone, and soft tissue issues.
- Muscular aches, such as neck and lower back pain.
- Reduced or loss of range of movement and motion in certain joints.
- Preoperative preparation (prehab).
