Patient Reviews
I’ve been seeing Steve at Motion Ease Physiotherapy for couple of months now. And I cannot recommend him enough. From the very first session he took the time to understand my concerns and created a customized plan to treat my Ankle injury. His expertise in physio therapy and dry needling have made a huge difference in my recovery process. And I have noticed significant improvements in my mobility and pain levels. If you are looking for a knowledgeable and a caring physio – Steve is the one to see!

Your physiotherapist will assess your condition, symptoms, and movement before discussing a personalised treatment plan based on your individual needs and recovery goals.
What happens during a physiotherapy session?

Depending on your needs, physiotherapy treatment may include manual therapy, exercise, dry needling, cupping, soft tissue massage, and sport-specific exercise and programming.
Your treatment plan may change as you progress through rehabilitation. Your physiotherapist can reassess your movement and physical function over time and adjust your treatment or exercise program according to your recovery.
Can physiotherapy help with a sports injury?
Yes. Motion Ease Physiotherapy provides sports physiotherapy for clients recovering from sports injuries and sporting injuries.
Sports injury rehabilitation is tailored to the type of injury, your current physical function, and the demands of your chosen sport. Your physiotherapy treatment may involve manual therapy, exercise, progressive strengthening, and sport-specific exercise and programming where appropriate.
As your injury rehab progresses, your exercise program can be adjusted to reflect improvements in movement and strength. The aim is to support your recovery and help you progressively work towards returning to sport and regular physical activity.
What are musculoskeletal injuries and conditions?
Musculoskeletal injuries and conditions can affect areas involved in movement, including muscles and joints. At Motion Ease Physiotherapy, common areas treated include the back, lower back, neck, shoulders, knees, hips, and ankles.
Musculoskeletal physiotherapy focuses on understanding how pain or injury affects your movement and physical function. Treatment may include manual therapy and exercise as part of a personalised rehabilitation approach.
Your physiotherapist will assess your individual condition before developing a treatment plan. Depending on your needs, the focus may include pain management, improving movement, restoring strength, or supporting recovery following an injury.
How does exercise support injury rehabilitation?
Exercise can play an important role in injury rehabilitation by helping clients progressively work on movement, strength, and physical function.
Your exercise program will depend on your injury, current ability, and recovery goals. Rather than using the same exercises for every client, your physiotherapist can select appropriate exercises and adjust them as your rehabilitation progresses.
For clients involved in sport, sport-specific exercise and programming may be included where appropriate. This allows your exercise rehabilitation to consider the physical demands of the activities you are working towards returning to.
What is manual therapy in physiotherapy?
Manual therapy is one of the treatment approaches that may be used as part of your physiotherapy treatment plan.
Whether manual therapy is appropriate will depend on your individual condition and symptoms. It may be combined with exercise and other available physiotherapy techniques to support movement, pain management, and rehabilitation.
At Motion Ease Physiotherapy, treatment is personalised rather than relying on a single technique. Your physiotherapist will determine an appropriate combination of treatment and exercise based on your assessment and recovery goals.
Do you offer dry needling as part of physiotherapy?
Yes. Dry needling is one of the treatment techniques available at Motion Ease Physiotherapy.
Whether dry needling is included in your physiotherapy treatment will depend on your individual condition and needs. Your physiotherapist can determine whether it is appropriate as part of your personalised treatment plan.
Dry needling may be used alongside other physiotherapy approaches, including manual therapy and exercise. Treatment can be adjusted throughout your recovery based on your symptoms, movement, and response to rehabilitation.
Can physiotherapy help me build strength after an injury?
Physiotherapy and exercise rehabilitation can support clients who need to progressively rebuild strength following an injury.
Your physiotherapist can develop an exercise program based on your current physical function and recovery goals. Exercises can then be progressed as your movement and strength improve.
Building strength may form part of a broader injury rehab plan alongside appropriate physiotherapy treatment. For clients returning to sport, exercise may also become more specific to the physical demands of their chosen activity as rehabilitation progresses.
Can you help me return to sport after an injury?
Yes. Motion Ease Physiotherapy provides return-to-sport support for clients recovering from sports injuries and sporting injuries.
Your rehabilitation and treatment plan will depend on the nature of your injury and the requirements of your sport. Exercise and progressive strengthening may be used to help you develop movement, physical function, and strength throughout your recovery.
Sport-specific exercise and programming may also be incorporated where appropriate. Your physiotherapist can adjust your program as your injury rehab progresses, helping you work towards your individual return-to-sport goals.
Do you provide rehabilitation after surgery?
Yes. Motion Ease Physiotherapy provides post-surgical rehabilitation.
The appropriate rehabilitation approach will depend on your individual circumstances, stage of recovery, and goals. Physiotherapy and exercise may focus on gradually improving movement, mobility, strength, balance, and flexibility.
Your physiotherapist can develop a personalised treatment plan and adapt your exercise program as your recovery progresses. Rehabilitation may support your gradual return to everyday activities and, where appropriate, work, exercise, or sport.
How many physiotherapy sessions will I need?
The number of physiotherapy sessions required varies depending on the individual. Your condition or injury, its severity, your physical function, recovery goals, and response to treatment can all influence the length of rehabilitation.
Following an assessment, your physiotherapist can discuss a treatment plan based on your needs. Some clients may require fewer physiotherapy sessions, while others may benefit from ongoing injury rehab or rehabilitation.
