Injuries & Conditions We Treat
Sports Injuries
Sport is a vital part of the Australian Lifestyle – it promotes good health, facilitates stress relief and, most importantly, is a source of fun, enjoyment and recreation. Sometimes injuries may occur through sport, but fortunately most injuries can be effectively treated by your Physiotherapist.
Work Accidents
All our staff expertise in dealing with your work injury. Our focus is to ensure a quick and speedy resolution for positive return to work outcomes.
Neck Pain
Your head is heavy balanced on a narrow support made up of seven bones called the vertebrae. The vertebrae are separated from each other by discs, stabilized by joints and ligaments and moved by muscle. Because the neck is so mobile, it is easily damaged.
Car Injuries
These injuries are generally covered by Compulsory Third Party (Green Slip) Insurance (contact our clinic for more information). The physiotherapist will commence strategies to alleviate the pain and any additional problems associated as a result of the motor vehicle accident.
Back Pain
There are various mechanisms for the production and existence of back pain, including poor posture, which can place undue stress upon your spine.
Knee Pain
Acute knee injuries can arise from sudden trauma, such as an awkward fall, collision or twist of the joint. Overuse injuries result from continuous activity or overload, such as running, jumping, cycling, weight training or bushwalking.
