Physiotherapy

Our Brisbane Physiotherapists can help

If you suffer from undiagnosed pain or difficulty with movement, our Physiotherapists can help. Physiotherapy is the practice of physical techniques to improve movement, reduce pain and stiffness, and recover from injury. We work with a range of people affected by injury, illness or disability. Physiotherapists are qualified to treat conditions to do with bones, muscles, nerves and joints.

Our highly skilled Physiotherapists can help treat a range of issues, including:

Freedom from the constraints of everyday life

Injury and pain that prevents you from doing the things you love or performing day-to-day activities is frustrating. Our world-class Physiotherapy team are dedicated to working with you. They will diagnose and construct an individualised treatment plan that aims to get you back to the things you love, pain-free.

What treatment methods are involved?

In your appointment, your Physiotherapist may use a mixture of treatment methods. Depending on your injury and treatment pathway these can include:

Along with physical treatment methods, your Physiotherapist may also provide behavioural advice, health education and exercise counselling.

Getting you back to the things you love, pain free

We understand that injury or pain that prevents you from doing the things you love is frustrating. We work with you to create a personalised treatment plan that aims to achieve the best outcome for your body.

What can I expect in my first appointment?

Your appointment will start by getting to know you and your injury or pain. We need to know how you got hurt or what you were doing at the time to cause your pain. We’ll also ask what movement or activities make your pain worse and better – so keep this in mind before your appointment. 

Don’t be surprised by our range of questions during your initial consultation. Your personal goals are just as important to us. Whether they’re getting back to the activities you love, improving athletic performance, or performing day-to-day tasks pain-free – we want to know and help! 

Next, we will need to assess your injury. This is usually done by carrying out a physical examination. It will help to diagnose your injury and devise an individualised treatment plan. Your Physiotherapist will discuss both of these with you and will recommend when you should come in next.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. You do not need to be an athlete or have a sports-related injury to see our team.

The majority of people will not experience any pain during their physiotherapy appointment. Sometimes you may feel feelings of discomfort. You must alert your Physiotherapist if anything feels uncomfortable. This helps your physiotherapist to learn more about your injury and help create your treatment plan.

Your Physiotherapist will need to look at your injury. We recommend you wear comfortable and loose clothing that allows easy access to the area. If you have x-rays, scans, medical notes, or reports from specialists, please bring these along.

Most likely, yes. Your Physiotherapist will create a treatment plan which may include at-home exercises. This plan will usually include some exercises for you to do in between your appointments. It’s important to remember to do your exercises; this will play an integral role in the speed and extent of your recovery.
