Frequently Asked Questions

Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession focused on restoring movement, function, and strength following injury, pain, or physical limitations. It combines assessment, hands-on treatment, exercise-based rehabilitation, and education to support recovery and long-term health.

People see a physiotherapist to reduce pain, recover from injury or surgery, improve movement, prevent future injuries, and return to daily activities or sport with confidence.

Physiotherapy is appropriate for individuals of all ages and activity levels, including athletes, active adults, people recovering from injury or surgery, and those managing chronic pain or mobility concerns.

Physiotherapy can help with a wide range of conditions, including sports injuries, back and neck pain, knee arthritis, sciatica, post-surgical recovery, concussion management, and balance or mobility issues.

Your first physiotherapy appointment includes a comprehensive assessment, discussion of your goals, hands-on treatment when appropriate, and a personalized exercise or recovery plan tailored to your needs.
