Physiotherapists provide assessment and diagnosis of injuries and use both hands-on therapy and exercise interventions to help you manage your injury, pain or disability. Physiotherapists are your first line of treatment if you have recently been injured, are suffering from pain or limited movement. They also are well equipped in assessing and managing complex neurological conditions, being able to complete neurological impairment testing. Additionally, they have the skills and knowledge to work with our paediatrics population to conduct paediatric milestone testing and ensure our kids are meeting these important development markers.

Dry Needling: Dry needling utilises fine needles similar to acupuncture. A few of our PT's have been trained in this, and some may not be able to do all requested areas etc, as this is additional training levels (e.g. Neck), it is best to check with the actual clinic before booking if we have this capacity. There are many contraindications for Dry Needling, and we are not able to book this without an initial assessment first so that the practitioner can assess suitability. Dry needling often requires a longer appointment time.
