PHYSIOTHERAPY

 

What is Physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy is an evidence based health practice that aims to rehabilitate individuals’ function across all ages. 


In order to practice, all of our Physiotherapists must hold a university degree in Physiotherapy and be registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Registration Agency (AHPRA). With strong anatomical and physiological knowledge, physiotherapists are able to provide a thorough assessment and treatment plan to help reach your individual goals.


Physiotherapists use a combination of ‘hands on therapy’ to relieve pain and stiffness as well as taking a strong exercise based approach to a persons recovery and maintenance of function and movement.
