What we treat
Physiotherapy for pain, injury and movement-related problems.
People seek physiotherapy for many different reasons, from a recent injury or persistent pain to rehabilitation after surgery or difficulty returning to normal activity, work or sport.
Common reasons for physiotherapy
Start with where the problem is affecting you.
Back and neck
Assessment and physiotherapy for back or neck pain, stiffness, movement limitations and related problems affecting daily activity, work or exercise.
Shoulder
Shoulder pain, reduced movement, weakness or difficulty with lifting, reaching, training and other upper-limb activities.
Knee
Knee pain, swelling, reduced function or difficulty with walking, running, sport, strength training and other physical activity.
Sports injuries
Recent or ongoing injuries related to sport and training, with rehabilitation progressed according to the individual problem and the demands of returning to activity.
Muscle and tendon injuries
Muscle strains, tendon-related pain and other loading problems that may require assessment, symptom management and progressive rehabilitation.
Post-operative rehabilitation
Rehabilitation following orthopaedic or musculoskeletal surgery, guided by the procedure, stage of recovery, clinical presentation and relevant medical recommendations.
These categories are a starting point rather than a complete list. If you are unsure whether physiotherapy is suitable for your problem, an assessment can help determine the appropriate next step.
Assessment first
The same symptom can have different explanations.
A painful knee, shoulder or back does not automatically point to one diagnosis or one type of treatment.
Assessment considers the history of the problem, how symptoms behave, movement, strength, function and other clinically relevant findings.
This helps determine whether physiotherapy may be appropriate and what the next step should be. Where further medical assessment or referral is indicated, that should take priority.
