Physiotherapy is an allied health care profession aimed to help people achieve their maximum level of physical function as comfortably as possible.

A physio is an allied health professional who helps people of all ages, and from all walks of life. We help with a range of things whether it is related to pain, function, movement, sports, injury, pre/post surgery and rehabilitation.

A physio will take time to understand your reason for the appointment, your story to date and ask you some questions around this. Then they will take you through a physical examination based on the information you have provided, safety needs and your goals. From there a treatment plan will discussed with you. The physio may recommend that you meet with other healthcare professionals to put together the best possible care plan for you.

Physio treatment will often involve some or all of these modalities: manual therapy, taping, splinting, acupuncture, exercise, education, rehabilitation, making changes to your lifestyle/posture, or soft tissue release work.
