Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I see a physiotherapist near East Brisbane?
If you are looking for a physiotherapist in East Brisbane, Motion Ease Physiotherapy provides physiotherapy services for East Brisbane clients at our nearby Woolloongabba clinic, located at 28 Wellington Road, Woolloongabba QLD.
Our physiotherapy services cover pain management, sports injuries, sporting injuries, injury rehabilitation, post-surgical rehabilitation, and a range of musculoskeletal conditions. Each client receives an individual assessment before an appropriate physiotherapy treatment plan is developed.
Your physiotherapist will consider your symptoms, movement, physical function, and recovery goals when determining an appropriate approach to treatment.
What happens during a physiotherapy assessment?
A physiotherapy assessment helps your physiotherapist understand your condition or injury and how it is affecting your movement and everyday activities.
During your assessment, you can discuss your symptoms, pain, physical activity, and recovery goals. Your physiotherapist can then use this information to develop a personalised treatment plan based on your individual needs.
Treatment and rehabilitation can be adjusted over time as your symptoms and physical function change. This allows your physiotherapy and exercise program to progress alongside your recovery.
Can physiotherapy help with sports injuries?
Yes. Motion Ease Physiotherapy provides sports physiotherapy for clients recovering from sports injuries and sporting injuries.
The appropriate sports physiotherapy treatment will depend on your injury, current physical function, and the demands of the sport or activity you want to return to. Rehabilitation may include manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, progressive strengthening, and sport-specific exercise and programming where appropriate.
Your exercise program can be adapted as your rehabilitation progresses, helping you gradually work towards improved movement, strength, and a return to sport. Motion Ease Physiotherapy also provides combat sports injury rehabilitation.
What types of pain and musculoskeletal conditions can physiotherapy treat?
Physiotherapy can help manage pain and a range of musculoskeletal conditions affecting movement and physical function. Common areas treated at Motion Ease Physiotherapy include the back, lower back, neck, shoulders, knees, hips, and ankles.
Musculoskeletal physiotherapy treatment may involve manual therapy and exercise to support pain management, improve movement, restore strength and flexibility, and assist with rehabilitation following an injury.
Because pain and injuries can affect each person differently, your physiotherapist will assess your individual condition before recommending treatment. Your physiotherapy plan will be based on your symptoms, movement, and recovery goals.
Can physiotherapy help with pain management and pain relief?
Physiotherapy may form part of a personalised approach to pain management for musculoskeletal conditions and injuries. Treatment focuses on understanding how your condition affects movement and physical function before developing an appropriate rehabilitation plan.
Depending on your needs, physiotherapy treatment may involve manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, and other available treatment techniques. Exercise may also be used to gradually improve strength, mobility, and physical function.
The approach taken will depend on your individual condition and symptoms. Your physiotherapist can assess your pain and movement before discussing suitable treatment options and recovery goals.

Depending on your needs, treatment may include manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, dry needling, cupping, soft tissue massage, and sport-specific exercise and programming. Your physiotherapist will determine which treatment techniques are appropriate following an assessment of your condition.
Rather than using the same approach for every injury, your treatment and exercise program can be adapted throughout rehabilitation based on your progress, movement, physical function, and recovery goals.
Do you provide sports physiotherapy for people who want to return to sport?
Yes. Our sports physiotherapy services include rehabilitation and return-to-sport support for clients recovering from sports injuries.

Can physiotherapy help prevent another injury?
Injury prevention is one of the areas of expertise at Motion Ease Physiotherapy. Physiotherapy may focus on movement, exercise, strength, and the physical demands associated with your work, everyday activities, or sport.
For active clients and athletes, an exercise program may include sport-specific exercise and programming where appropriate. This allows rehabilitation and injury prevention strategies to reflect the activities you regularly perform.
Your physiotherapist can assess your individual needs and develop an appropriate plan focused on improving physical function and helping reduce the risk of future injury.
Can I see a physiotherapist for rehabilitation after surgery?
Yes. Motion Ease Physiotherapy provides post-surgical rehabilitation.
The rehabilitation process following surgery varies between patients and depends on individual circumstances and recovery needs. Physiotherapy may focus on gradually restoring movement, mobility, strength, balance, and flexibility.
Your physiotherapist can develop a personalised rehabilitation and exercise program based on your needs. Treatment can then be adjusted as your recovery progresses, supporting your gradual return to everyday activities and, where appropriate, exercise, work, or sport.
How long will I need physiotherapy and rehabilitation?
The amount of physiotherapy and rehabilitation required varies between clients. Factors such as your condition, type and severity of injury, physical function, recovery goals, and response to treatment can all influence how long rehabilitation takes.
Following your assessment, your physiotherapist can discuss an appropriate treatment plan with you. Some injuries may require a shorter period of physiotherapy, while other conditions may benefit from ongoing rehabilitation and exercise.
Your progress will be reassessed throughout treatment. This allows your physiotherapy treatment and exercise program to change as your movement, strength, and physical function improve.
Do you accept private health funds and Medicare referrals?
