Musculoskeletal Physio Perth

Musculoskeletal physiotherapy is a specialised branch of physiotherapy that focuses on diagnosing, treating, and managing conditions related to muscles, bones, joints, nerves, and the circulatory system. It’s all about getting to the root of your pain, improving how you move, and boosting your overall wellbeing. Whether you’re struggling with day-to-day discomfort or specific injuries, our team is here to guide you towards a more comfortable, active life.

Musculoskeletal physiotherapy offers a lot of long-term benefits that help to enhance your overall quality of life, including:

• Reduced pain and discomfort: Through targeted therapies and techniques, we aim to significantly reduce or eliminate the pain associated with musculoskeletal conditions.
• Improved mobility and function: Our personalised treatment plans are designed to restore your range of motion and improve the function of affected areas.
• Injury prevention: By identifying and addressing the root causes of your condition, such as postural issues or muscle imbalances, we can help prevent future injuries and conditions from developing.
• Enhanced strength and stability: Strengthening the muscles around affected joints not only aids in recovery but also contributes to a stronger, more stable body.
• Optimised athletic performance: For athletes, our targeted therapies can improve performance by enhancing strength, flexibility, and endurance, while also reducing the risk of sport-related injuries.
• Accelerated recovery times: With our comprehensive and tailored approach, we’ll hep you return to work, sport, and other activities sooner.
• Holistic health improvement: By focusing on the body as a whole, musculoskeletal physiotherapy contributes to your overall health and wellbeing, promoting a more active, pain-free life.

We begin with a comprehensive evaluation, involving a detailed history and physical assessment. Following this, we provide a clear diagnosis for your condition. Hands-on treatment commences as part of our approach. You’ll also receive a comprehensive management plan, which includes prescribed exercises and guidance on the recommended frequency and duration of your treatment.

Your second consultation, scheduled shortly after the initial visit, offers an opportunity for feedback and questions. A streamlined re-evaluation is conducted through a physical assessment, allowing you to experience treatment benefits. Subsequent consultations are geared towards supporting your recovery and achieving optimal outcomes for your pain or injury.

Recovery is a journey, and its pace varies from person to person. Some might see a difference after just a few sessions, while others might need a bit more time. After your initial assessment, we’ll give you an honest overview of what to expect and how we plan to help you get there.

If persistent aches or stiffness are stopping you from enjoying your daily routines or hobbies, it might be time to give us a call. Common tell-tale signs include ongoing back or neck pain, sports-related discomfort, joint pains, or the aftermath of repetitive strain. We’re here to assess your situation and recommend the best path forward.

Definitely! Our approach is great for treating and preventing all sorts of sports injuries. Whether you’re a weekend warrior or a competitive athlete, we’re skilled at not just nursing you back to health but also enhancing your performance, ensuring you’re stronger and more resilient than ever.

Wearing comfortable clothing and shoes that allow for movement is recommended. Review our guide on what to what to wear to a physio appointment for more specific recommendations.

It’s also helpful to bring a list of your current medications and a summary of your medical history, including any diagnostic tests related to your injury or condition.

There are no cancellation fees or 24-hour notice requirements. Just give us a call if you can’t make it to your appointment.

A doctor’s referral is typically not required to visit us unless your condition is associated with Workers Compensation, Motor Vehicle Injury, Veterans Affairs, or a Medicare Enhanced Primary Care plan. In most cases, you can directly schedule an appointment as all our physiotherapists are primary contact practitioners, capable of providing comprehensive care without the need for a referral.

To access physiotherapy services through Medicare, you must have a referral from your GP under the Chronic Disease Management Plan, often referred to as an Enhanced Primary Care Plan (EPC). This plan is required for Medicare coverage when seeing a physiotherapist.
