What do we provide?
“Physiotherapy services that are hands on, with one-on-one sessions, is evidence based, goal oriented and ensures lasting results”
This philosophy ensures we provide a great physiotherapy service to our patients.
Hands-on:
Our hands-on approach incorporates a wide variety of manual therapy techniques including massage (deep tissue or remedial style), myofascial release, joint mobilisations and stretching. These techniques can also include deep dry needing (including deep muscle stimulation if indicated) or intra-muscular stimulation needling techniques. No machines can replace a skilled physiotherapist and whilst short-term symptomatic relief is possible with some devices, we offer advice only about usage.
One-on-one sessions:
Your doctor wouldn’t see two patients at one time and neither do we! We provide our full attention to each patient. This is the difference between clinics providing physiotherapy and excellence in physiotherapy.
Evidence based:
Continuing professional development for physio place practitioners ensures your physiotherapist is up-to-date in the most beneficial treatment and rehabilitation protocols. We use recent findings in journals, investigative studies, randomised controlled trials, Australian Physiotherapy Association affiliated conferences and courses, to guide our clinical reasoning and the treatment we provide for you.
Goal Orientated:
Restoring lost range-of-motion, strength, movement dysfunction or posture are all normal goals of physiotherapy. The diagnosis for your injury or condition guides an appropriate treatment and exercise protocol to meet these needs. Your Physiotherapist uses their knowledge of pathology and healing timeframes to provide an accurate timeframe for these goals to be achieved and the fastest, long-lasting road to recovery possible.
Long-lasting Results:
If we are doing a good job then we should be doing ourselves out of a job! Our philosophy is about solving your problem as soon as possible and overtime the need for our hands-on services should reduce as predominately guidance with exercises and stretches will ensure ongoing optimal health. Physiotherapy is all about educating each patient, skilling you with your own self-management techniques (stretches, exercises etc) and providing therapeutic solutions to your pain or limitations. We strive to build lifelong relationships and sincere rapport with all of our clients and their families. Let’s solve your injury today and make sure it doesn’t come back again in the future.
