MUSCULOSKELETAL PHYSIOTHERAPY​
Musculoskeletal physiotherapy is the assessment, diagnosis and  treatment of injured or damaged muscles, joints, ligaments and bones. This includes spinal treatment of the neck and back.
From a sprained ankle to headaches a physiotherapist can help relieve your pain and prevent the injury or condition from recurring.

Physiotherapists can refer you for a variety of scans including X-rays, CT scans, Ultrasounds and MRI scans. Physiotherapists may refer you for further investigations to help establish a diagnosis and direct the most effective plan of treatment.
DRY NEEDLING vs INTEGRATIVE ACUPUNCTURE
Dry needling is a technique to release muscle tissues and fascia to decrease pain and tension.

Integrative acupuncture is derived from traditional Chinese medicine. Treatment considers not only the muscles and tissues of the body but general wellbeing, mood, appetite, and sleep patterns. A holistic approach to treatment of the mind and body can help in many cases especially when the body is not responding to heal an injury or improve a condition.
REHABILITATION AFTER SURGERY 
Post-surgery or arthroscope rehabilitation is vital. We work together with your surgeon to maximise recovery and outcomes. Common post-operative rehabilitation includes;
  • Total knee replacement
  • Shoulder surgery

  • Spinal surgery e.g. neck & back

An assessment prior to your surgery is a good idea to familiarise yourself with the early rehabilitation exercises and strengthen prior to your operation

PHYSIOTHERAPY FAQ'S

​WHAT IS PHYSIOTHERAPY AND  WHY DO I NEED IT? 
Physiotherapists are university-trained health professionals that aim to improve your pain or injury through treatment of the bones, muscles, nerves, ligaments, and joints. After a detailed assessment, your Physiotherapist will give hands-on treatment and an exercise program just for you, to help you take control of your symptoms to allow for safe movement and help you return to the activities that are most important to you. 
Your Physiotherapist will also provide you with a range of self-management tools so that you can prevent flare-ups in pain or manage your injury in the future.

 
WHAT CAN I EXPECT AT MY FIRST PHYSIOTHERAPY APPOINTMENT?
Your first appointment with one of our Physiotherapists will involve a discussion regarding your condition and a physical examination. This discussion will help our Physios determine which areas are to be examined and to determine what your current goals for physiotherapy are, whether it be reducing your pain or increasing movement.

 
The physical examination can consist of tests of the muscles and nerves, movement and posture assessment, and palpation of the area involved. Depending on the areas involved, some examinations may require you to remove certain items of clothing, however, our Physiotherapists will cover you with towels accordingly.

Your Physiotherapist will give you the reason for your pain or symptoms and will explain in simple terms your diagnosis.

We pride ourselves on being hands-on therapists to deliver pain relief and improve your symptoms, we then want you to never experience the problem again, so we will 
discuss a treatment plan with you in this first session as you will likely require more than one visit as most injuries take a few weeks to treat and heal.
 
 
WHAT IF I HAVE MORE THAN ONE PROBLEM?
The time slot usually allows us to assess and treat only one area, however. If the areas of pain are directly related (e.g. back pain with referred buttock and leg pain, or neck and shoulder blade with arm pain), they can usually be treated in the standard 30-minute session.

 
If you have more than one injury or area of concern that you would like assessed and treated, we suggest booking an extended 1-hour consultation with your Physiotherapist. This allows for more time for a thorough assessment and treatment of both areas and will result in better outcomes for the affected areas.
 

CAN I ASK FOR CERTAIN TREATMENTS TO BE DONE?
Of course! If you have had physiotherapy in the past and you have felt a certain technique, such as dry needling, has improved your pain, please let us know.
 

WHAT SHOULD I BRING AND WEAR TO MY APPOINTMENT?
If you have a referral from your doctor, any scans (X-rays, MRIs, ultrasounds, etc.), or any important information related to your complaint/injury, please bring these to your appointment.
 
For Workcover, Insurance, or CTP claims, bring details of your claim number, insurance company details, employer details, and other relevant paperwork. For mining appointments, please be prepared to provide a form of ID.
 
Please bring or wear clothing suitable for easy examination of the area of your body to be assessed. For assessments of the hip, knee, or ankle, shorts are appropriate. For back, neck, or shoulder examinations ladies might prefer to bring or wear a singlet top or suitable bra.
 

CAN THE PHYSIO ORDER X-RAYS AND OTHER SCANS?
Yes. Physiotherapists can refer you for a variety of scans including X-rays, CT scans, Ultrasounds, and MRI scans. Physiotherapists may refer you for further investigations to help establish a diagnosis and direct the most effective plan of treatment.
