Physiotherapy

Manual Therapy

Our therapists are expertly trained in a range of “hands-on” techniques to help with you diagnosis and treatment including:

  • Soft tissue treatment (massage, trigger point release, myofascial release, deep tissue massage)
  • Joint Mobilisation and Manipulations
  • Neuromuscular Techniques

Facilitation of Posture, Motor Control and Muscle Retraining

Dry Needling

Dry Needling is an effective and increasingly popular muscle releasing technique that works to resolve painful and taut bands within muscle fibres (trigger points) often referred to as ‘muscle knots’. By increasing blood flow into these areas the result is a reduction in pain and correction of dysfunction within that muscle. Our Physiotherapists are trained in Dry Needling and using in conjunction with other techniques to achieve great results

Taping

A range of taping techniques are commonly used as an adjunct to Physiotherapy treatment and can help to :

  • Provide support and stability to the injured area
  • Relieve pain by reducing load on the painful area
  • Re-train posture and encourage normal movement

Aid confidence when returning to sport

Electrotherapy Modalities

As part of injury management and rehabilitation Electrotherapeutic Modalities such as Ultrasound, Interferential Therapy and Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation can be very beneficial. The effects of these modalities can provide pain relief as well as managing inflammation and aiding the body’s natural healing processes, helping you to keep moving.

Vertigo

BPPV or Positional Vertigo is a very common condition that our Physiotherapists are experienced in treating. Vertigo can cause episodes of dizziness that are triggered by movements of your head. There are manoeuvres that we can help you with to resolve your dizziness, address other factors that may be contributing and get your back to feeling your best.

Education

We want to help you to be empowered and motivated to manage your injuries and make positive changes to optimise your health. Through education we can ensure that you leave our clinic feeling confident about the cause of your symptoms, how to manage them and ultimately how to maximise your health and overall well-being.

Pilates

Pilates exercises hold many benefits.  By emphasising diaphragmatic breathing, proper spinal and pelvic alignment, focus on smooth flowing movement, you become in tune with your body and you learn how to control its movement.  With Pilates exercises, the quality of the movement is valued over the quantity of the repetitions.

When performing regularly, you will develop a strong core, which consist of the deep abdominal muscles along with the muscles closest to the spine.  Core control is achieved by integrating the trunk, pelvis and shoulder girdle.

Pilates elongates and strengthens the muscles, improving muscle elasticity and joint mobility.  A body with balanced strength and flexibility is less likely to suffer injuries. Further, Pilates conditions the whole body where the entire musculature is evenly balanced and conditioned.

Pilates exercises are safe as many are performed in reclining or sitting positions and most are low impact and partially weight bearing.  It is the ideal form of exercise to be used to rehabilitate injuries or after surgery. But Pilates can also be challenging due to its flexible exercise system.  Modifications to exercises allow for a range of difficulties ranging from beginning to advanced.

Clinical Pilates

Our Pilates equipment including Reformers, a Cadillac Trapeze Table, Wunda Chair and Spine Corrector will assist you with movement re-education postural and core control.  Our equipment and programmes allow for adaptability of exercises, allowing us to cater for all ages and ability levels.

Each of our programmes are personalised and focus on your goals.  Therefore the programmes are individually designed following an assessment with one of our trained Physiotherapist.

In our studio, we cater for one-on-one sessions, or group sessions with a maximum of 3 people per group.

Mat Pilates

Mat Pilates is a way to stretch and strengthen your body, primarily the muscles of the core.  It borrows its exercises from disciplines such as dance and yoga.  Mat Pilates exercises are performed mostly equipment-free, with the exercises adapted work with just your body, a floor mat for cushioning and support and a few small equipment pieces such as resistance bands, foam rollers and Pilates magic rings.

We also stock equipment that complements your therapy.

Hydrotherapy

 

Hydrotherapy is the use of water in the treatment of different conditions, including arthritis, orthopaedic conditions, musculo-skeletal injuries as well as before and after surgery as part of rehabilitation.

Hydrotherapy is different from swimming as it involves special exercises that you do in a warm- water pool.  The benefits are many and include relief for pain and muscle spasms, improving or maintaining joint range of movement, enhancing muscle power and endurance, improving balance, posture, coordination and body weight.  It is especially ideal for rehabilitation soon after injury or surgery.

Remedial Massage

Whilst ordinary massage is seen as a method for relaxation, remedial massage therapy is a medical modality in which a methodological evaluation is done before the actual treatment is applied.  The aim is the rehabilitation of an injured body part and the management of the injury’s accompanying pain or discomfort.

But you need not be injured or experiencing severe pain to have a remedial massage.  It is an effective treatment for reducing stress and muscle tension. It can also be helpful for anxiety, headaches, insomnia related to stress, or more chronic conditions such as Fibromyalgia.

As your remedial massage is conducted by a qualified Remedial Masseuse, you can be eligible for rebates from your Private health fund.  Claims through Workers Compensation and Motor Vehicle Accidents, as well as Department of Veterans’ Affairs are welcomed.
