What is Physiotherapy?
Physiotherapists are healthcare professionals who diagnose and treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, and chronic metabolic and neurological conditions. Physiotherapists are experts in biomechanics and function and help with recovery from injury, and reduce stiffness, pain and risk of further injury.
Physiotherapists use a wide range of education strategies, manual therapy techniques, and individually tailored exercise programs to help manage specific injuries and conditions. As first-contact practitioners, we treat a wide array of patients with multiple conditions and different complexities; plus you don’t need a referral to see a physiotherapist.
Physiotherapists are accredited by Australian Health Practitioners Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and have studied at university for a minimum of four years. This includes four clinical placements spread across musculoskeletal, neurological and cardiopulmonary physiotherapy domains in various different environments. Physiotherapists are required to participate in continued professional development to use evidence-based practice when providing treatment to all patients.
Physiotherapy is more than just treating musculoskeletal problems. Different areas of physiotherapy can include.
- Neurological
- Cardiorespiratory
- Occupational health
- Paediatric
- Sports
- Cancer, palliative care and lymphoedema
- Orthopaedics
- Chronic pain

What are the benefits of Physiotherapy?
There are many benefits to working with a Physiotherapist that can make a real difference in your life. One of the primary advantages is that a Physiotherapist can help you restore your range of motion, strength, and balance. They can also offer guidance for rehabilitation both before and after surgery, as well as for joint replacements. This can help speed up your recovery time and get you back to your daily activities sooner.
Moreover, Physiotherapists can help you maintain your independence and enhance your quality of life. They can assist you in managing chronic pain, which can be a significant challenge for many people. And, if you’re an avid sports enthusiast, they can give you the guidance you need to safely and effectively get back into your favourite activities.
Working with a Physiotherapist can significantly improve your quality of life, regardless of the challenges you’re facing. Whether you’re recuperating from an injury or dealing with a chronic condition, a Physiotherapist can provide the necessary support and guidance to help you feel better and live life to the fullest.
When should I see a Physiotherapist?
A physiotherapist can assist with all musculoskeletal injuries and conditions at both acute and chronic stages. Early intervention is recommended for optimal results as well as assisting with initial diagnosis and management especially if you are unsure how to initially manage the injury. Physiotherapists tailor treatment to accommodate one’s lifestyle, we understand the challenges individuals may face with busy lives and the effect that can have on motivation and achieving our goals. Our physiotherapists are equipped to collaborate with patients to constantly review programs and goals to help our patients achieve the desired outcome.
