Physiotherapists
General Information:
Our Physiotherapists have trained in a particular way to provide you with a high quality of service, no matter who you see. We have all been trained in:
- Sacro-Iliac Joint (Pelvis) Treatment - We use gentle and safe techniques to effectively treat this area having been taught by some of the world's leading Physiotherapists in pelvic-girdle pain. Antony travels to Perth twice a year to lecture about the SIJ on Australia's most popular post-graduate Physiotherapy Masters Degree at the University of Western Australia.
- Thorax and Rib Treatment - This is an area that is poorly understood generally...however, we specialise in the assessment and treatment of dysfunctions and pain from this region. If you have back, neck or shoulder pain, we will check your thorax to see if it is a problem.
- Ante and Post Natal Treatment - We use gentle techniques that are safe for you and your baby. We have an excellent working relationship with the obstetricians in our area. Click here to view our Pregnancy Brochure.
- Acupuncture / Dry Needling - We use a gentle combination of Eastern and Western needling techniques to help release Trigger Points and relax overactive muscles
- Golf Physiotherapy - Antony and Adrian have completed the PGA-approved course run by their golf consultant - Ramsay McMaster. As a Sports Physiotherapist, Derek is also well qualified to treat golf injuries.
- Exercise Programmes - We can write Pilates, home-based and gym-based programmes. We can also liase with your exercise instructor so they understand what your diagnosis is and how we intend to help you recover.
