Physiotherapy is a registered health profession. It's an evidence-based scientific healthcare discipline. Using a variety of techniques and management approaches, we aim to improve pain and movement, minimise dysfunction and activity limitation, and optimise performance. We work closely with doctors (e.g. GPs) and other specialists (e.g. sports & exercise physicians, pain consultants, surgeons), and other allied health professionals (e.g. podiatrists, psychologists, dieticians).

You can expect a thorough-comprehensive assessment, with advanced-clinical and diagnostic reasoning. This is aimed at not only treating what we see in-front of us, but looking for contributing factors that form the root of the problem. This helps us formulate a treatment plan with our patients using strong reasoning and shared decision-making to progress towards a personalised outcome that has
meaning to you as the patient.
