Australian Physiotherapists are registered Health Care Professionals with University qualifications.
Physiotherapists assess, diagnose and treat people with movement problems. Physiotherapists also help people avoid injuries and maintain a fit, healthy body.
Physiotherapy includes a wide range of specialties that meet the health needs of different people such as babies and children, sportspeople, pregnant women, injured workers, senior citizens and anybody else with a movement related problem.
Physiotherapy programs are based on practical goals agreed between the Physiotherapist and the patient. Physiotherapists help people gain as much movement and physical independence as possible, so they can resume or maintain their normal job or lifestyle.
When necessary, Physiotherapists will consult with other health professionals to ensure the best possible treatment outcomes.
Do I Need Physiotherapy?
If you are in pain, it is important to determine if the pain is likely to be musculoskeletal in nature. If so,
Physiotherapy can help. Some
injuries require ‘hands on’ assessment and treatment, however many issues can be managed with the advice and exercise program provided by
Physios Online.
The easiest and fastest way to find out if you need physiotherapy is to send a ‘
Quick Question’ to
Physios Online. Often, treatment can be carried out by you without the need to see a
Physiotherapist personally. This saves you time, inconvenience, and money. Rest assured, if you need to see a
Physiotherapist personally, we will let you know.
