At Physio K, we offer a full suite of physio treatments to treat pain and injury. As AHPRA-registered physiotherapists, we use evidence-based, contemporary techniques including soft tissue massage, mobilisations, dry needling, taping and stretching.

​

At Physio K, symptoms are never viewed in isolation. Pain is often the result of dysfunction elsewhere in the body, which is why we assess how your entire movement system works rather than focusing only on where it hurts.

By identifying the underlying cause of your symptoms, we can create treatment plans that not only relieve pain but also reduce the likelihood of it returning.

What Is Manual Therapy?

​

​

​

​

​

​

​​

Manual therapy (MT) is the core focus of our treatment. MT is an advanced area within physiotherapy based on manual examination and specialised treatment techniques integrated with exercise, education and other modalities to address pain, loss of function and wellness.
It has been used for a long time within the profession of physiotherapy and physiotherapists have greatly contributed to the diversity in manual therapy techniques.
The International Federation of Orthopaedic Manipulative Physical Therapists (IFOMPT) defines orthopaedic manual physiotherapy as: "a specialised area of physiotherapy for the management of NMS conditions, based on clinical reasoning, using highly specific treatment approaches including manual techniques and exercise therapy. " 
Orthopaedic Manual Therapy also encompasses and is driven by, the available scientific and clinical evidence and the biopsychosocial framework of each patient.

Manual therapy is a large umbrella that includes many specific hands-on techniques. Here’s a list of the most common ones we use:

​

• Traction

• Soft tissue work

• Passive and active range of motion techniques

• Joint mobilisations and translations

• Trigger point therapy

• Active release techniques

• Myofascial release

• Stretching

• Neuromuscular release

• Nerve sliders and tensioners

• Joint manipulation / high-velocity thrusts

• Dry needling​​                      ​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Benefits Of Manual Therapy

​

Manual therapy offers several benefits for treating musculoskeletal conditions:

• Pain Reduction: Manual therapy techniques, including joint mobilisations and soft tissue mobilisations, can help alleviate musculoskeletal pain including headaches by targeting specific areas of discomfort.

• Improved Mobility: By addressing neck pain, joint stiffness and muscle tightness, manual therapy helps improve range of motion and flexibility, facilitating better movement patterns.

• Enhanced Healing: Manual therapy techniques may support tissue healing and recovery, aiding in the rehabilitation process.

• Personalised Treatment: Physiotherapists tailor manual therapy sessions to individual needs, ensuring targeted care based on your specific needs.

​

A Tailored Treatment Plan For Every Patient

​​

To be able to assess your problems with our hands alone, without the assistance of imaging (soft tissue and joint restrictions are not typically visible in most imaging) requires refined manual assessment skills developed through training, patience, and clinical experience.

Our patients come to us for a variety of reasons, and we take great pride in delivering attentive, individualised care.

​

For example, some people are looking to recover from an injury to return to work. We also care for people who are simply looking to develop a more active lifestyle.

Our team will put together a physiotherapy plan that focuses on achievable goals, helping you develop a fitness routine that is sustainable in the long term.

We can apply this to athletes and sporting teams at all levels, from ‘weekend warriors’ to elite performers, supporting your physical preparation for your next challenge.

​

Treatment doesn't end when your pain improves.

​

We'll guide you on posture, movement patterns, workplace ergonomics and exercises that help reduce the risk of future injuries. Our goal is to give you the knowledge and confidence to manage your body long after your appointments have finished.

​
