Our expert team can assist you in any of the following areas:
Sport injuries
We will assist to treat and rehabilitate any injuries or complaints sustained during sporting activities. These may be either acute injuries resulting in fractures, tears or bruising, or overuse injuries such as inflammation, tendinitis, and muscle spasm.
Early and accurate diagnosis is essential in these cases to direct appropriate management. Where necessary our therapists will refer you on to the appropriate practitioners for further examination or investigations such as MRI scan, X-Ray, Ultrasound, etc.
Our therapists will also outline a detailed sports-specific program to restore full mobility, control and strength to the injured limb as well as the fitness required to ensure the seamless return to your sporting activities without any further symptoms or relapse of your injury.
Neck & Back Pain
Neck and back pain is one of the most common complaints in modern society and one of the biggest causes of absenteeism and disability in our society. Unfortunately many still don’t understand how to manage this condition and the role that a physiotherapist can play to help treat and resolve your back pain symptoms.
Our therapists can provide an array of treatments to relieve your neck or back pain and furthermore will teach you how to look after your back to prevent future episodes. An individually prescribed strength and core stability program will further help to protect your spine against the rigors of our daily lives.
POST OPERATIVE REHABILITATION
Following any orthopaedic procedure a guided rehabilitation program is crucial to a successful outcome. Our physiotherapists will work to help avoid any potential complications post-op and also to guide you towards returning to your full function as quickly and safely as possible.
We will work with you closely to set specific goals of your rehabilitation program and these will vary depending on your needs – whether it is to return to high level sports or simply be able to complete your daily tasks of living.
DRY NEEDLING
This is an increasingly popular modality in the physiotherapy field which is used to treat muscle spasm and pain in both acute and chronic injuries.
Dry needling involves inserting acupuncture needles into sensitive ‘trigger points’ in muscles which relieves tension and pain and restores the normal function of the muscle. Our experienced physiotherapists will assess your injury and determine whether dry needling can assist in your recovery.
CASTING & SPLINTING
We are able to provide and fit you with a selection of splints, braces, casts and crutches for a large array of injury types and for various body parts.
Work related injuries & third party
Workplace injuries are very common and may be debilitating. They can occur as a result of a fall or incident but quite often are due to overuse and the repetitive nature of one’s work.
Our physiotherapists are very experienced in not only rehabilitating your injuries but in advising you on the correct work strategies and exercises to ensure a safe and durable return to work. All our therapists are WorkCover approved. As part of managing your injuries, we will work closely with your treating doctor, insurance case managers and employers to help streamline the return to work process.
Our management may also require a worksite visit and ergonomic assessment. Our sister company – In Touch Physiotherapy – has provided onsite physiotherapy and injury services to various organisations around Australia including one of Australia’s most iconic brands Qantas.

CORE STABILITY & PILATES
Pilates exercise emphasises the balanced development of muscles in the body to improve core strength, stability and flexibility. Through guided exercises either on a floor mat or on our Pilates Reformer equipment we will help you to return to your normal mobility as quickly as possible following injury and also help to protect you against further injury.
Pilates based rehabilitation is suitable for people of all ages and is an excellent program for people with chronic or recurrent neck or back pain, hip and pelvic pain, post-surgical conditions and also pre or post-pregnancy.
Pre-Employment Screening

Our testing of physical capabilities includes:

EXERCISE PRESCRIPTION
