Finding Relief Through Physiotherapy

An injury or persistent pain can affect much more than the part of the body involved. Physiotherapy is often the first step toward understanding what is happening and doing something about it.

How physiotherapy helps

Physiotherapy treatment focuses on assessing and managing pain and loss of function, using hands-on techniques alongside individualised exercise programs aimed at restoring normal movement. Whether the problem is recent or long-standing, the approach is built around your particular presentation.

What the process looks like

Initial assessment

Everything starts with understanding your condition. Your physiotherapist takes a detailed history and performs a thorough assessment to identify what is driving your symptoms.

A personalised plan

From there, a plan combining hands-on treatment with specific exercise is built around your goals and your stage of recovery.

Post-surgical rehabilitation

For patients who have had surgery, rehabilitation protocols are developed with the surgical team, so that loading and progression match the procedure performed.

Physiotherapy at Joint Vision

Assessment, imaging, treatment and rehabilitation sit in one place, which means fewer steps between recognising a problem and acting on it. Your physiotherapist works alongside the orthopaedic surgeons, exercise physiologists and imaging team.
