Physiotherapy Services

What do we provide?

“Physiotherapy services that are hands on, with one-on-one sessions, is evidence based, goal oriented and ensures lasting results”

This philosophy ensures we provide a great physiotherapy service to our patients.

Hands-on:

Our hands-on approach incorporates a wide variety of manual therapy techniques including massage (deep tissue or remedial style), myofascial release, joint mobilisations and stretching. These techniques can also include deep dry needing (including deep muscle stimulation if indicated) or intra-muscular stimulation needling techniques. No machines can replace a skilled physiotherapist and whilst short-term symptomatic relief is possible with some devices, we offer advice only about usage.

Diagnosis:

The diagnosis for your injury or condition guides an appropriate treatment and exercise protocol to drive your recovery. Your Physiotherapist uses their knowledge of pathology, special testing and healing timeframes to provide an accurate timeframe for your specific injury. We will refer you for xrays, CT-scans, Ultrasound scans or MRI via direct referral or correspondence with your GP. Diagnosis of musculoskeletal injuries is what we are trained to do, and without a correct diagnosis, pain can persist or the injury may reoccur.

We value our working relationships with local G.P doctors, radiologists, podiatrists, sports medicine physicians and orthopaedic surgeons. This is part of our service and there is no cost to our patients to liase on their behalf..

One-on-one sessions:

Your doctor wouldn’t see two patients at one time and neither do we! We provide our full attention to each patient. This is the difference between clinics providing physiotherapy and those providing physiotherapy excellence!

Evidence based:

Continuing professional development for Village Physio practitioners ensures your physiotherapist is up-to-date in the most beneficial treatment and rehabilitation protocols. We use recent findings in journals, investigative studies, randomised controlled trials, Australian Physiotherapy Association affiliated conferences and courses, to guide our clinical reasoning and the treatment we provide for you.
