Frequently Asked Questions
What conditions do you treat?
We treat clients with basically all presenting symptoms requiring a Physiotherapist. However if we were to choose a few areas we would say chronic pain, back pain and injury, core strength, knee pain, pregnancy, womens health and spinal injury or pain.
Do you offer soft tissues release and manual massage therapy?
Yes we do. We spend a lot of time working “on” the problem. Manual therapy and massage is an important part of recovery. Soft tissue release is great for correcting an imbalance, providing rehabilitation and it feels quickly restorative. Described as similar to remedial massage. This is beneficial for many areas of the body such as back pain, neck pain, leg pain, arm pain, calf pain and knee pain.
What is dry needling?
Our Sunshine Coast Physiotherapist is trained in dry needle therapy. It is similar, yet very different to acupuncture. Dry Needling is the insertion of very thin, sterile needles for the purpose of pain relief. It is particularly beneficial for relieving very tight, tense muscles. For some clients this is part of their care plan.
Is there any medicare or private health fund rebates?
You can receive medicare rebates if you have an Enhanced Primary Care Plan from your doctor for a chronic health condition. Private health fund rebates are subject to your level of cover. If you are eligible, you can claim the rebate on the spot.
I am after exercise rehabilitation, do you offer this?
Absolutely. This is aimed at getting your feeling better after an injury or surgery. Plans are generally gentle, yet effective.
What is integrative physiotherapy care?
Integrative Physiotherapy care is understanding the persons presenting symptoms and problems by assessing all aspects of their health. It means we value collaborative care and will often integrated Occupational Therapy (OT’s), Dietitians, Doctors and Specialists into clients care if that is what will get you well sooner.
