We also provide sports physiotherapy, injury rehabilitation, post-surgical rehabilitation, injury prevention, and support for clients working towards returning to work, exercise, training, or sport.

What happens during my first physiotherapy appointment?

Your first physiotherapy appointment involves assessing your condition or injury, symptoms, movement, physical function, and recovery goals.

Your physiotherapist will discuss how your condition is affecting your everyday activities, work, exercise, or sport. This information helps guide the development of a personalised physiotherapy treatment plan suited to your individual needs.

Depending on your assessment, treatment may include manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, dry needling, or other appropriate physiotherapy techniques. Your treatment plan can then be reviewed and progressed throughout your rehabilitation.

What types of pain and injuries can physiotherapy help with?

Physiotherapy can help manage a range of pain, injuries, and musculoskeletal conditions. Common conditions treated at Motion Ease Physiotherapy include back pain, lower back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, knee pain, hip pain, ankle pain, sports injuries, and sporting injuries.

Your physiotherapist will assess your symptoms, movement, and physical function before recommending an appropriate treatment approach.

Depending on your needs, physiotherapy treatment may incorporate manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, rehabilitation, and other suitable techniques to support movement, strength, pain management, and recovery.

Do you provide sports physiotherapy?

Yes. Wavell Heights clients can access sports physiotherapy through Motion Ease Physiotherapy at our Newstead clinic.

Sports physiotherapy can support rehabilitation following sports injuries and sporting injuries. Your physiotherapist will consider the nature of your injury, current movement and strength, recovery stage, and the physical demands of the sport you want to return to.

Your rehabilitation may include manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, progressive strengthening, and sport-specific exercise and programming where appropriate.

Can physiotherapy help me return to sport after an injury?

Physiotherapy can support a progressive return to sport following an injury. The rehabilitation process will depend on your injury, current physical function, strength, movement, and sporting goals.

Rather than focusing only on your immediate symptoms, your physiotherapy treatment plan can progress as your ability improves. Exercise and rehabilitation may become increasingly specific to the movements and physical demands of your sport.

Motion Ease Physiotherapy also provides sport-specific exercise and programming where appropriate to support your return to training and sporting activities.

Can physiotherapy help after surgery?

Yes. Motion Ease Physiotherapy provides post-surgical rehabilitation.

Your physiotherapy treatment will depend on the type of surgery you have undergone, your stage of recovery, current movement and strength, and your individual goals. Rehabilitation may focus on gradually restoring movement, improving mobility, rebuilding strength, and supporting physical function.

Your physiotherapist can reassess your progress throughout rehabilitation and adjust your treatment and exercise program as your recovery develops.

Why is exercise used during physiotherapy rehabilitation?

Exercise is an important part of many physiotherapy and rehabilitation programs because it can help restore movement, develop strength, and improve physical function.

Your physiotherapist will select therapeutic exercises based on your condition, current ability, and recovery goals rather than using the same exercise program for every client.

As your movement and strength improve, exercises can be progressed accordingly. For clients returning to sport or physically demanding work, rehabilitation can also become more specific to the activities they need to perform.

What is manual therapy?

Manual therapy refers to hands-on techniques that a physiotherapist may use as part of physiotherapy treatment.

Whether manual therapy is appropriate will depend on your condition, symptoms, movement, and assessment findings. When suitable, it may be combined with therapeutic exercise and other physiotherapy techniques as part of your rehabilitation.

Your treatment plan is personalised, so manual therapy will only be included where appropriate for your individual needs.

Do you offer dry needling?

Yes. Dry needling is one of the treatment techniques available at Motion Ease Physiotherapy.

Your physiotherapist will first assess your condition and determine whether dry needling is appropriate for you. When suitable, dry needling may be incorporated into a broader physiotherapy treatment plan alongside manual therapy, exercise, and rehabilitation.

The combination of treatment techniques used will depend on your symptoms, physical function, and individual recovery goals.

Can physiotherapy help with injury prevention?

Yes. Injury prevention is one of the areas of expertise at Motion Ease Physiotherapy.

Your physiotherapist can consider factors such as your movement, strength, exercise habits, training demands, and previous injuries when developing your rehabilitation program.

As your recovery progresses, therapeutic exercise and sport-specific exercise and programming may be used where appropriate to build strength, improve physical function, and help reduce the risk of future injury.

Do you accept private health funds and Medicare referrals?

Yes. Motion Ease Physiotherapy accepts major private health funds through HICAPS and welcomes eligible GP referrals under Medicare’s EPC plan.

If you are unsure about your eligibility, available rebates, or coverage for physiotherapy treatment, contact the team for further information before your appointment.

How many physiotherapy sessions will I need?

The number of physiotherapy sessions required varies between clients. It can depend on the type and severity of your injury or condition, your physical function, recovery goals, and how you respond to treatment and rehabilitation.

Some clients may experience improvement within a few physiotherapy appointments, while other conditions or injuries may require rehabilitation over a longer period.

Your physiotherapist will regularly reassess your progress and adjust your treatment plan where appropriate rather than following a fixed number of sessions for every client.
