What is Physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy is a healthcare treatment that helps restore movement, function and physical ability when someone is affected by injury, illness or disability. It uses movement, exercise, manual therapy, education and advice to:.
- Improve movement and strength
- Reduce pain
- Help people recover after surgery or an injury
- Improve quality of life and independence
- Prevent future injury or health problems by teaching healthier movement and activity habits
What To Expect
During our MSK physiotherapy assessment and treatment, we will typically:
- Ask about your symptoms, history and goals
- Physically assess movement, strength, pain and posture
- Develop a personalised treatment plan
- Provide exercises and education to do at home
- Use manual techniques and therapeutic modalities as needed
Treatments are tailored to your condition and goals — for example, a runner with knee pain will get a different exercise plan than someone recovering from shoulder surgery.
