Physiotherapists specialise in treatment of the body’s
musculo-skeletal system i.e. the ligaments,
muscles, tendons, joints and nerves that service them.
Physiotherapy courses are
conducted by Universities and Institutes around
Australia. The Bachelor of Physiotherapy at the University of Queensland is
a four year degree. Entrants require and OP score of 1 or 2, depending on
the year of application.
At your initial
consultation your condition will be assessed in detail to determine its
cause. We will clearly explain to you the nature of your condition, the
treatment required, your expected recovery time and what you can do to
minimise the chances of recurrence.
Treatment is active and
“hands-on”. Your treatment program will be
tailored to your condition and your particular lifestyle (work situation,
sports participation).
Home exercise programs
are used to hasten your recovery time. It is important that you work
together with your treating physiotherapist in this way to obtain optimal
results.
Exercises will be
specific to your injury condition and to the demands of your sport and
workplace situations. Graduated rehabilitation and return to sports
programs are an essential component of
treatment.
We stock a range of
educational brochures in our waiting room for your information.
