Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy is a science-based healthcare profession that views human movement as central to health and well-being. Physiotherapy aims to maintain and restore human function after disease or injury to help people maintain and improve quality of life.

Physiotherapists are trained to use a wide range of techniques and treatments to assess and manage a wide range of specific and non-specific medical conditions. These treatments and techniques include:

  • Soft tissue massage and myofascial release
  • Joint mobilisation and manipulation
  • Musculoskeletal analysis
  • Postural re-education
  • Specific Muscle stretching
  • Neural tissue mobilisation
  • Dry needling/ Acupuncture
  • Electrotherapy
  • Mechanical Traction
  • Real Time Ultrasound
  • Therapeutic Exercise
  • Pilates
  • Hydrotherapy

Medicare will subsidise a number of physiotherapy sessions each calendar year for chronic medical conditions, and the majority of private health insurers will subsidise physiotherapy services from a registered physiotherapist.
