Physiotherapy is about preventing, treating and managing a variety of health complaints relating to injury, mobility and movement. In your session, your Physiotherapist may utilise a variety of techniques including: massage, joint mobilisation, postural assessment, active and passive stretching, taping, and myofascial and trigger point release methods. This total holistic approach to musculoskeletal care facilitates rehabilitation, repair and mobility.
If required, your Physiotherapist will also design an active rehabilitation program as part of your on-going treatment plan. This may include a tailored home or studio exercise program for self-management, as well as Myotherapy care to assist with the treatment of your muscles, tendons and ligaments.
Is Physiotherapy for me?
Physiotherapy is totally catered to the individual, which means that if you have a musculoskeletal health concern, it is appropriate to make an appointment with a physiotherapist. Many clients choose physiotherapy for back pain, to assist with postural alignment, for sporting injuries, for rehabilitation post surgery or for prevention of injury. Our physiotherapists also have experience with prenatal and postnatal treatment as well as treating children, teenagers and seniors. If you have a medical complaint that our physiotherapists cannot treat, they will be able to recommend the correct medical or health professional for you to see.
For our pregnant clients, we have a specially designed pregnancy pillow, which enables you to lie on your front all the way through your pregnancy.

Our expertise is important to us and all our Physiotherapists keep up-to-date with current research and we only use evidence-based techniques.

We will be able to assess you and make recommendations as to your ongoing care during your appointment. If required, your Physiotherapist will also treat you through active rehabilitation – Functional Physio (1:4), as part of your on-going treatment plan. Functional Physio (1:4) incorporates a plethora of physiotherapy rehabilitation exercises, pilates informed exercises, manual correction and are the perfect way to treat any injury.
Please bring along any referrals, scans, x-rays or reports which you may have.
Your normal every-day clothing is generally fine. However, if you are wearing restrictive clothing on the day we suggest you bring something a bit looser to change into as your Physiotherapist will need to access the area requiring treatment. Your comfort is paramount during your appointment.
Your appointment will be 30-minutes to one hour, depending on the treatment required and whether it is an initial consultation. This will all be confirmed with you at the time of booking.
Physiotherapists use advanced techniques and evidence based care to assess, diagnose, treat and prevent a range of health conditions and mobility issues.

Core takes a holistic approach to your health. Your Physiotherapist may utilise massage, joint mobilisation, postural assessment, stretching, taping, and trigger point release methods and may design an active rehabilitation program for you.
