What is Involved in a Physiotherapy Session?

Your physiotherapist will assess how your body moves to help identify the underlying cause of your concern, and from there, develop a treatment plan tailored to your individual goals and lifestyle.

A range of treatment options may be used, including:

Manual Therapy

Gentle manipulation of the muscles and joints may help to relieve discomfort and support improved mobility.

Exercise Programs

An individualised exercise programme may help support the development of strength and flexibility over time.

Shockwave Therapy

shockwave therapy delivers high-energy sound waves to targeted areas, which may help stimulate tissue and assist in supporting your recovery.

Therapeutic Ultrasound

By directing sound waves at the affected area, therapeutic ultrasound may help support the recovery process and assist in reducing inflammation.

Dry Needling

Using fine needles applied to targeted muscle points, dry needling may help address muscle tightness and assist in managing pain.

Clinical Reformer Pilates

Through guided movement on the reformer, Clinical reformer pilates may help support improved movement patterns and long-term recovery.

Living with pain doesn’t have to be your only option.

Initial consultations are usually 45-60 minutes. Follow-up sessions are 30-45 minutes, depending on your treatment needs.

Comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely and provides easy access to the affected area is best. Activewear or loose-fitting clothes are a great option.

Where clinically appropriate, hands-on manual therapy is incorporated into your physiotherapy consultation at no additional cost.
