What to expect

What to expect at your first physiotherapy visit   

We have a full 30 minutes one-on-one with no overlap or interruptions. There is time to talk through what matters, assess thoroughly, begin treatment, and leave with a simple plan you feel confident following. New clients often have many questions: what is causing the pain, how long recovery might take, and what to do at home between sessions. We will make sure we have time to cover all your questions.

1

Conversation and goals

Tell us your story in your own words. We listen for what matters most to you, when symptoms began, what helps or worsens them, and what you want to get back to.

2

Assessment

Gentle, focused checks of movement, strength, joints and nerves help us understand what is driving your symptoms and what your body needs next.

3

Explanation

We talk through the findings, what they mean for you, and the approach we recommend, so the following steps feel transparent and manageable.  

4

Treatment

When appropriate, care starts on day one with hands-on therapy, movement coaching and targeted exercises aimed at easing symptoms and restoring comfortable function.

5

Personalised plan

You leave with a practical home program, an expected time frame for improvement, and a review plan to monitor and adjust progress as you go.  

Physio services provided at a glance

Physiotherapy services in Aldinga

Physio for back pain

Several things can cause back pain. It can come on suddenly or gradually over weeks, months or years.

Physio for sciatica

Sciatica is a type of pain caused by irritation of the sciatic nerve and is often in the back of the thigh or calf.

Physio for neck pain

There are several causes of neck pain. These include wry neck, whiplash, postural-related neck pain, neck pain due to shoulder weakness, discogenic neck pain, facet joint neck pain, and myofascial neck pain.

Physio for sports injuries

I know how much people miss performing to their best or not being able to do the sport they love. Whether you are a weekend warrior, high-level athlete or need that run to clear your head, I should be able to help.

Physio for headaches and migraine

Many headaches are caused by neck, shoulder or jaw problems. I will assess you to determine if your headache is one of these.

Physio for hip and knee arthritis

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a wear-and-tear type of arthritis. It typically occurs more in our joints as we age. A lot of people will start to show signs of OA in their hips and knees as early as their 20s.

Physio for tendonitis/tendinopathies

Tendonitis is when a tendon is inflamed, and tendinopathy is a more chronic state in which changes have occurred in the tendon structure due to repeated injury.

Physio for shoulder pain/injury

We have tendons all over our bodies. Tendonitis is when a tendon is inflamed, and tendinopathy is a more chronic state in which changes have occurred in the tendon structure due to repeated injury.

Physio for post-op rehab

Total hip replacements/direct, anterior, posterior approaches

  • Knee replacements
  • Hip arthroscopy
  • ACL reconstruction
  • and more ..

Dry needling

Dry needling can be a useful complement to physiotherapy treatment. Dry needling refers to the use of acupuncture needles within modern medical practice, rather than the traditional oriental principles.

Kids and the younger athlete

Having worked in a paediatric physiotherapy department in England and with youth sports teams, I am experienced in addressing the different considerations between adults and the younger population regarding injury.

NDIS

I will happily see clients who receive NDIS funding, whether self-managed or third-party managed.
