• Physiotherapy is the practice of analysing human movement and function and maximising physical potential through careful application of exercise prescription and manual therapy.
• Injuries, illness, strains and sprains can affect anyone. Working with a physiotherapist can get you moving pain free and back to doing what you love, whether that’s walking the dog or running marathons.

• Physiotherapists are experts in movement and use hands-on techniques and specific exercises to address any areas of concern. Physiotherapists will tailor your treatment to your specific goals and fitness level. 
• They can identify and treat a wide range of both chronic and acute conditions such as; Musculoskeletal aches and pain, men’s and women’s health, vestibular, neurological and respiratory.

While some physios will have a Doctorate of Physiotherapy, a DPT, physiotherapists are not medical doctors. Physio’s will typically work alongside other medical professions such as doctors, occupational therapists, and speech and language therapists.

Physiotherapy appointments are tailored specifically to whichever body parts are affected by injury, illness or disability. Comfortable, loose fitting clothing and a pair of trainers is ideal in most situations.

Physiotherapy appointments can vary in length depending on speciality and complexity. The average appointment will be between 30 minutes and 1 hour.

Physiotherapy should be considered for anyone who has had a diagnosis of arthritis. A physiotherapist can help guide you through exercise programs tailored specifically to you to help manage pain and improve physical function. Joints are designed to move and are healthiest when they are used frequently and purposefully.

Sciatica can be a pain in the butt (and leg) and is usually caused by a compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve which runs along the back of the leg. Working with a physio can help you to identify any movements or positions that are irritating the nerve. Manual therapy, dry needling and ‘nerve glides’ can then be applied to ease the surrounding muscles, allowing the nerve to settle and symptoms to disappear.

Physiotherapy is one of the most common treatments for chronic neck pain. A physio can help to identify tight muscles or poor muscle recruitment patterns. Careful mobilisation of the thoracic and cervical spine, manual therapy of the surrounding muscles and purposeful exercise can help restore full, pain free range of motion.

Roughly 80% of people will experience low back pain in their lifetime. Working with a physiotherapist is one of the best ways to strengthen and mobilise your core muscles to get you moving pain free.
