Common conditions physiotherapy helps you recover from

Sciatica

Sciatica is a pattern of symptoms, not one diagnosis. What causes the pain down your leg, why being seen early matters, and how physiotherapy treats it.

Low Back Pain

Up to 80% of Australians get low back pain. What actually causes it, when leg pain or numbness means being seen sooner, and how physiotherapy treats it.

Neck Pain

Neck pain is one of the most common conditions physiotherapists treat, often from posture and desk work. Treatment combines manual therapy and exercise.

Headaches & Migraines

Tension, cervicogenic and migraine headaches have different causes and different treatments. How to tell them apart, and when the neck is the real driver.

Dizziness

Dizziness or vertigo often has a treatable cause in the neck. Physiotherapy identifies cervicogenic dizziness and treats it with manual therapy.

Sport Performance & Injury

Modern sports injury rehab favours early, guided movement over rest. Andrew builds a staged recovery plan tailored to your injury and goals.

Respiratory Issues

Chest physiotherapy helps clear the airways and improve breathing for asthma, COPD and bronchitis, alongside your existing medical treatment.

Chronic Fatigue & Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome cause widespread pain and exhaustion. Physiotherapy helps manage symptoms with a carefully paced programme.

TMJ Dysfunction Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy for TMJ dysfunction and TMJ disorder at our Melbourne clinic, jaw pain, clicking and headaches treated with manual therapy and dry needling.

Frozen Shoulder

Frozen shoulder causes progressive stiffness and pain that can take months to resolve. Physiotherapy eases pain and speeds recovery at every stage.

Rotator Cuff Injury

Rotator cuff injuries range from mild tendinopathy to a full tear, causing shoulder pain and weakness. Assessment determines the right treatment path.

Tennis Elbow & Golfer's Elbow

Tennis elbow and golfer's elbow are overuse tendon injuries causing elbow pain. Physiotherapy addresses both pain and its underlying cause.

ACL Damage

ACL injuries are common in sports involving pivoting and sudden direction changes. Physiotherapy helps before and after surgery, or non-surgically.

Meniscal Tear

A torn meniscus can cause knee pain, swelling and locking. Physiotherapy is often first-line treatment, alongside imaging or surgical referral if needed.

Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis causes sharp heel pain, often worst with first steps in the morning. Treatment combines hands-on therapy, taping and exercises.

Ankle Sprains

Ankle sprains are one of the most common sporting injuries. Physiotherapy restores strength and balance to stop them recurring.

Achilles Tendonitis

Achilles tendonitis causes heel pain and stiffness in runners and active people. Physiotherapy uses evidence-based loading protocols to treat it.

Bursitis

Bursitis causes localised pain and swelling around a joint, often the hip or shoulder. Physiotherapy treats the inflammation and its underlying cause.

Shin Splints

Shin splints cause pain along the shin bone, common in runners after a sudden increase in activity. Physiotherapy addresses symptoms and training factors.

Osteoarthritis & Rheumatoid Arthritis

Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis both cause joint pain and stiffness. Physiotherapy helps manage pain and maintain mobility with either condition.

Pre & Post-Op Recovery

Physiotherapy before and after orthopaedic surgery, knee and hip replacements, ACL reconstruction and shoulder surgery, preparing well and rebuilding strength safely.

Hamstring Injuries

Hamstring strains range from mild tightness to a tear, common in running and sprinting. A graded return-to-running programme reduces re-injury risk.

Groin Strain

Groin strains affect the inner thigh muscles, common in sprinting and kicking sports. Physiotherapy addresses pain and the strength deficits behind it.

Heel Spur

Heel spurs are a bony growth linked to long-term plantar fascia strain. Physiotherapy addresses the underlying cause to relieve heel pain.

Runner's Knee

Runner's knee causes pain around the kneecap, common in runners and anyone increasing training load. Physiotherapy resolves it and keeps you running.

ITB Syndrome

ITB syndrome causes sharp pain on the outside of the knee, common in runners and cyclists. Physiotherapy addresses the hip strength behind it.

Upper Back Pain

Physiotherapy for upper back and mid-back pain, the tight, aching band between the shoulder blades that builds over a desk-based week.

Nerve-related Pain

Physiotherapy for nerve-related pain, the burning, tingling or shooting symptoms that travel down an arm or leg rather than staying in one spot.

Hip Pain

Physiotherapy for hip pain, from groin and buttock pain to the outer-hip ache that wakes you at night. Assessment, hands-on treatment and a loading plan.

Knee Pain

Physiotherapy for knee pain, from front-of-knee ache on stairs to swelling, locking or giving way. Assessment, treatment and a return-to-activity plan.

Wrist Pain

Physiotherapy for wrist and hand pain, from keyboard and tool-related strain to tendon irritation and pins and needles in the fingers.

Muscle Strains

Physiotherapy for muscle strains and tears, from the first few days through to a graded, tested return to sport or work.

Ligament Injuries

Physiotherapy for sprained and torn ligaments at the ankle, knee, shoulder and wrist, from early management to restored stability and confidence.

Tendon Injuries

Physiotherapy for tendon pain and tendinopathy at the shoulder, elbow, hip, knee and heel, built around graded loading rather than rest.

Fractures

Physiotherapy after a fracture, rebuilding the movement, strength and confidence lost while a bone was immobilised, in or out of a boot or cast.
