Services
Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapy services address spinal injuries, sports conditions, and chronic pain management. Using manual techniques and tailored exercise programs, we treat neck/back pain, shoulder injuries, and TMJ disorders. With over three decades of clinical expertise, our therapists develop rehabilitation plans that improve mobility while addressing underlying biomechanical issues. We incorporate evidence-based approaches for inflammatory arthritis, osteoarthritis, and post-surgical recovery, focusing on restoring function and preventing re-injury through comprehensive patient education and progressive strengthening programs.
Clinical Pilates
Physiolates combines clinical pilates with rehabilitation for injury-specific treatment. Our qualified physiotherapists design individual programs using reformer equipment and resistance training to address postural imbalances and musculoskeletal conditions. This approach benefits patients recovering from spinal surgeries, hip/knee replacements, and sports injuries. We offer both private sessions and group classes, with programs adapted for pregnancy-related musculoskeletal changes and osteoporosis management, focusing on core stability, joint mobility, and functional movement patterns.
Pelvic Health
Specialised pelvic floor physiotherapy treats incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and pregnancy-related musculoskeletal pain. Our therapists provide postnatal assessments and rehabilitation for diastasis recti. We address dyspareunia conditions like vulvodynia and vestibulodynia, employing manual therapy and targeted exercise programs. The service also supports men's pelvic health concerns, offering non-invasive solutions for pelvic floor dysfunction through individualised treatment plans developed by APA-accredited pelvic health specialists.
TMJ Therapy
Our TMJ specialists address jaw pain and dysfunction through manual therapy and neuromuscular retraining. Treatment includes joint mobilisation, dry needling, and therapeutic exercises to improve jaw mobility and reduce headaches. We manage temporomandibular disorders caused by dental issues, bruxism, or trauma, incorporating postural correction and sleep position advice. The program combines intra-oral techniques with cervical spine treatment to alleviate referred pain patterns associated with TMJ dysfunction.
Vestibular Rehabilitation
Specialised treatment for dizziness and balance disorders uses vestibular adaptation techniques. Our therapists manage BPPV through canalith repositioning manoeuvres and develop habituation programs for chronic dizziness. The service addresses balance dysfunction related to Meniere's disease, vestibular neuritis, and neurological conditions. Treatment includes gaze stability exercises and progressive balance challenges to improve functional mobility and reduce fall risk in patients with peripheral or central vestibular disorders.
