Physiotherapists are qualified healthcare professionals who assess, diagnose, treat, and prevent a wide range of health conditions and movement disorders.
Physiotherapy can play a key role in repairing damage, reducing pain and stiffness, increasing mobility, and improving overall quality of life. Physiotherapists often work closely with your GP and other healthcare providers to develop and manage a comprehensive care plan tailored to your needs.
The scope of physiotherapy includes injury prevention, recovery from both acute and chronic pain, pre- and post-operative rehabilitation, the maintenance of functional mobility, chronic disease management, and patient education.
Prior to your first visit, you’ll receive an email with a link to complete your New Patient paperwork. If you’re unable to complete it online, just let us know, and you can fill out a paper version upon arrival (please arrive 10 minutes early).
During the consultation, we’ll take the time to discuss:
We’ll perform a focused musculoskeletal and neurological assessment to better understand your case and determine the best course of action.
If manual therapy is indicated, we may begin treatment right away, which could include:
If rehabilitation or exercises will aid your recovery, we’ll develop a customised program tailored to you. This plan will be reviewed in detail during your next appointment, and can include:
Our tailored physiotherapy rehabilitation combines Clinical Pilates with evidence-based strength exercises, targeting posture, balance, mobility, and functional movement for dynamic improvement and goal attainment.
We offer group-based, physiotherapist-guided rehabilitation and Pilates sessions in our upstairs studio. These small group classes (maximum of 3 participants) provide personalised attention, allowing you to progress through your rehab in a supportive, focused setting.

Physiotherapy should not be painful, though some discomfort may occur, particularly when addressing injuries or working with inflamed tissue. Our skilled physiotherapists will keep you informed and adjust the treatment to maintain your comfort. It’s important to communicate any pain or discomfort so the approach can be modified if needed. If you have further questions or concerns, it’s always a good idea to discuss them directly with your practitioner.
The number of physiotherapy appointments needed varies based on your specific condition, treatment goals, and response to therapy. Some people may see improvement in just a few sessions, while others may require several weeks or months of treatment. Your physiotherapist will assess your progress and discuss a tailored plan with you, including whether ongoing visits are necessary for maintenance or prevention.
Our Initial Appointments are 45 minutes, Standard Appointments are 30 minutes, 1 on 1 Rehab Appointments (in pilates studio) are 45 minutes and Group Functional Rehab Sessions (also in pilates reformer studio) are 60 minutes.
A physiotherapist can be seen soon after an injury if you are concerned. Early intervention allows for expert assessment, effective pain management, and the development of a tailored treatment plan. There are a range of techniques our physiotherapists can use even when you have acute pain and swelling to ease symptoms. If you can not make it in quickly or are in too much pain, do not stress. Seek help guided by your symptoms.
