Services
Mobile Physiotherapy
Our mobile physiotherapy service brings expert care directly to your home in Brisbane Bayside and Redlands. We treat musculoskeletal conditions like back pain, sports injuries, and post-surgical rehabilitation using manual therapy, exercise prescription, and postural correction. Sessions adapt to your home environment, enabling practical self-management strategies for long-term recovery.
Dance Physiotherapy
Specialised physiotherapy for dancers addresses pre-pointe assessments, injury rehabilitation, and performance enhancement. We focus on biomechanics, hypermobility management, and technique correction to prevent overuse injuries. Clinic-based sessions utilise dance-specific equipment to ensure safe return to training while addressing common issues like ankle sprains and stress fractures.
McKenzie Method
The McKenzie Method provides targeted assessment and treatment for spinal and joint pain. Through movement-based diagnosis, we identify individualised exercises to reduce pain and prevent recurrence. This evidence-based approach prioritises patient education and self-management, often avoiding unnecessary imaging or interventions for musculoskeletal conditions.
Clinical Pilates
Clinical Pilates combines equipment-based and mat exercises to rehabilitate injuries and improve core stability. Tailored programs enhance posture, strength, and flexibility using reformers and trapeze tables in our Thorneside clinic. Ideal for post-natal recovery, chronic pain management, and pre/post-surgical conditioning, sessions focus on controlled, quality movements for functional improvement.
Pre-Pointe Assessments
Pre-pointe assessments evaluate joint range, strength, and posture to determine ballet students' readiness for pointe work. We compare individual measurements to age-specific norms and provide targeted exercises to address deficits. This proactive approach prevents serious injuries while enhancing technical ability and confidence for safe pointe progression.
