Sunshine Coast Physiotherapy – The Integrative Approach

We offer Sunshine Coast Physio Service sessions that are:

Individualised. No generic treatment plans. Care is based on your presenting symptoms and problems and not just the diagnosed title.
Client focused. Your comfort is important to us. You will never feel rushed. You will always feel heard.
Goal orientated. We will always have your health goals in mind.
Integrative. We don’t just treat the symptoms, we treat the cause.

What to expect in a consultation: 

Sarah, our Sunshine Coast Physio, will conduct a comprehensive assessment to establish what the problem is. A physical examination may be conducted as well, to then diagnose the problem. Following this, the Physiotherapist can then create a recovery/treatment plan for you. Treatment may include physical muscular manipulation, dry needling, joint mobilisation, exercise rehabilitation, yoga poses and stretches and massage.
