Physiotherapists are human movement specialists who aim to address not only the symptoms of a particular injury, but address the underlying driving factor that causes it.
Physiotherapy utilises a variety of techniques include massage, joint mobilisation, manipulation, taping, heat/cold therapy, acupuncture/dry needling, stretching and strengthening exercises to help relieve pain and regain full function of your musculoskeletal system.
Physiotherapists have an important role in rehabilitation that can range from the most basic of tasks, such as relearning to walk post operation or stroke, to returning to elite level sport after a muscle/ligament tear.

- Back and Neck Pain, including whiplash
- Shoulder, Elbow and Hand Pain

- Headaches
- Work Related Injury (Workcover Accredited)
- Motor Vehicle Accident Injuries
- Pre and Post Surgical Rehabilitation
