Things we can help with
Bodies are complicated — and sometimes it’s not obvious what’s causing the problem or even what type of physio you need.
Start with what’s bothering you. We’ll help you work out what’s going on and what to do next.
Back Pain
The lower back is a complex structure made up of interconnecting bones, discs, joints, nerves, ligaments, discs and muscles working together to provide a base of support for the body.
Shoulder Issues
Shoulders are the linchpin of many movement functions and control, and once pain sets in, it can make day-to-day activities extremely painful and difficult to do.
Neck Tension & Headaches
They are frequently caused by joint or muscular dysfunction in the neck, poor posture, emotional tension or a combination of these.
Pelvic Floor Treatment
Your pelvic floor is a layer of muscles that assist in supporting the pelvic organs (bladder, bowel, and uterus in women) and spans the bottom of the pelvis.
Jaw Pain (TMJ)
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) syndrome is a pain in the jaw joint. The TMJ can be found just in front of your ear when you open and close your mouth.
Hypermobility
Hypermobility, or otherwise known as laxity, double-jointedness, loose-limbed or joint instability occurs in up to 25% of the population.
Walking Issues In Children
During the early years, there can be some obvious abnormalities in children’s gait (walking style). While many of these walking issues are quite common and can correct themselves on their own, some require physiotherapy assessment and treatment.
Pelvic Prolapse/Pessary Fitting
Women can have a dropping of their bladder, bowel or uterus into their vagina, it is common in women over 50. Our Women’s Health Physiotherapist provides full assessment, pelvic floor recovery training and can also fit and educate you on the use of a support pessary.
Endometriosis Pain
Endometriosis is a chronic disease that occurs when cells similar to those that line the female uterus grow in other parts of the body including the abdominal cavity and the internal organs inside the pelvis such as the ovaries, fallopian tubes, bladder and bowel.
Arthritis
Arthritis refers to a group of conditions affecting the body’s joints, including the bone, muscle and surrounding soft tissues. The most common symptoms are joint pain, stiffness and reduced function, which can lead to disability and reduced quality of life.
Chronic Pain
Pain that persists for 3 months or longer, it is considered chronic and can be very distressing. Physiotherapy treatment supports people with chronic pain to improve function, achieve goals and enjoy a better quality of life.
Sports Injuries
Whether you are an elite athlete, professional dancer or weekend warrior, sports injuries can be a common and frustrating problem. Many sports injuries are caused by overuse and overtraining, such as runner’s knee or tennis elbow, where you have pushed your body to the limit.
Knee Injury
Your ACL or anterior cruciate ligament is one of four knee ligaments that are critical to the stability of your knee joint. Most often ACL tears occur when pivoting or landing from a jump. Your knee gives out from under you once you tear your ACL.
Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is a common condition in which people experience symptoms that include widespread pain and tenderness in the body – usually neck, shoulders, back and pelvis but can also involve the limbs as well as headaches, dizziness and stomach pain.
Diastasis Recti
It’s common for women to experience pain as the body changes throughout and following pregnancy.
Achilles Tendinopathy
Achilles tendinopathy is caused by overloading/overuse or under-loading/underuse of the tendon. Many things can affect the load that is going through the tendon; therefore, it is important to be assessed by a physiotherapist to determine individual causes and risk factors.
Calf Strain
Calf injuries are common and can occur during sport, exercise or everyday activities, often when the calf is suddenly stretched or placed under increased load.
Dance Injuries/Conditioning
Common issues for dancers include muscle strains and sprains, recovery after stress fractures, overuse and tendon injuries and hyperflexibility.
