Services
Manual Treatments
Our physiotherapists utilise soft tissue massage, joint mobilisations, and spinal techniques to address musculoskeletal injuries. These hands-on treatments help reduce pain and restore movement in the early stages of recovery. Combined with exercise prescription, this approach ensures comprehensive rehabilitation for optimal functional outcomes.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
We provide structured rehabilitation programs for post-operative knee, shoulder, spinal, and joint replacement surgeries. Collaborating with orthopaedic specialists, we develop custom protocols to accelerate recovery. Our goal is to restore mobility and enable safe return to sports or daily activities within optimal timeframes.
Hydrotherapy
Weekly hydrotherapy sessions at Forresters Beach Indoor Pool offer low-impact exercise in heated water. This treatment benefits orthopaedic rehabilitation, arthritis management, and sports injury recovery. The buoyancy reduces joint stress while allowing strength and cardiovascular training through guided exercises.
Supervised Gym Programs
Physiotherapy-guided gym sessions at Forresters Beach Indoor Gym improve strength and fitness while minimising injury risks. These programs cater to post-surgical patients, arthritis sufferers, and sports injury rehabilitation. Health fund rebates apply for accessible, supervised exercise therapy.
Dry Needling
Post-graduate trained physiotherapists use dry needling to target persistent muscle trigger points unresponsive to manual treatments. This western acupuncture technique effectively releases tension in deep muscle layers. It's often combined with other therapies for enhanced pain relief and mobility restoration.

Questions
What happens during the first physiotherapy session?
Your physiotherapist will conduct a detailed assessment through questioning and physical examination to diagnose your condition. Treatment begins immediately, with a customised plan developed in consultation with you.
What should I wear to my appointment?
Wear comfortable clothing that allows exposure of the injured area, like shorts for knee injuries. Gowns and towels are available for privacy during treatment sessions.
Will I receive exercises to do at home?
Yes, most patients receive customised home exercise programs to complement clinic treatments. These are demonstrated in sessions and designed to accelerate your recovery process.
How long do treatment sessions last?
Initial appointments typically last 40-60 minutes. Follow-up sessions vary depending on your condition and treatment requirements, as determined by your physiotherapist.
Do I need a doctor's referral?
No referral is required for private physiotherapy. However, WorkCover patients and those claiming through certain insurance schemes may need formal referrals for treatment eligibility.
What if specialist care is needed?
Our physiotherapists will refer you to appropriate specialists if progress isn't meeting expectations. We maintain strong relationships with orthopaedic surgeons, sports physicians, and other medical specialists for coordinated care.
