Aldinga Bay Physio provides personalised physiotherapy in Aldinga so you can feel better fast and stay better long term. We can help you overcome the aches and pains from everyday life, where we focus on addressing the source of your pain, not just symptoms, with treatment aligned to your goals.
Our hands-on, manual therapy aims to settle your pain quickly, allowing you to move more normally. It includes joint mobilisation, neural stretching, soft-tissue mobilisation with movement, postural correction, facilitated movement, and appropriate-intensity massage. Dry needling is also used to reach deep tissues and relieve nerve pain.

I will then assess your movement and perform relevant tests to help me identify the source of your problem. You will receive some treatment on the first day, and depending on the injury, this may include manual therapy, advice or exercises. Often, this is all of the above. If I think that someone else can help you further, I’ll let you know.
