What Can You Expect From Physiotherapy?

Through careful assessment of your movement and function, your physiotherapist may identify the underlying cause of your concern and create a personalised treatment plan to suit your goals and lifestyle.

Treatments may include:

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

Through the application of high-energy sound waves, shockwave therapy may help stimulate tissue repair and support 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

Clinical reformer pilates may assist in improving movement patterns and supporting your long-term recovery journey.

Medicare CDM/EPC referrals from your GP are welcome at DX Physio. A valid referral may allow you to claim a Medicare rebate for up to five sessions per calendar year, though please note a small gap fee will still apply.

Yes. We accept both workers’ compensation and CTP claims. Please bring your claim number and relevant documentation to your first appointment.

Does the physiotherapy consultation include manual therapy?

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

Our physiotherapists are experienced in assessing and managing a variety of sports and exercise-related injuries. Whether you compete at a high level or simply enjoy staying active, we’ll develop a personalised care plan designed to support your recovery and help you return to the activities you love.

Is physiotherapy beneficial for injury prevention?

Physiotherapy is not only beneficial for managing existing injuries. It may also help you develop a better understanding of your body, improve your posture, and move more efficiently, which may in turn help reduce the risk of future injuries.

May physiotherapy support a healthy and active lifestyle?

Physiotherapy isn’t only for when an injury occurs. Attending regular physiotherapy sessions may help support more efficient movement, assist in managing muscle tightness, and contribute to improved posture, helping you maintain a healthier and more active life long term.
