Our Specific Physiotherapy Treatments

Our Preston physiotherapists are focused on finding the most appropriate treatment for you and assisting you on your journey towards optimal health. We understand that no two bodies are the same, so why should two treatment plans be?

Patient getting treatment

We discuss your medical history with you to gain insight into your sports injury, or any musculoskeletal conditions you may have and then walk you through our treatment options.
We provide hands-on therapies, including:

Dry needling
Joint manipulation (often used for ankles, knees, the spine, etc)
Trigger point therapy
Strength and conditioning exercises
We may also prescribe specific exercises and provide education that may assist you with your physio treatments. However, our education is just as personalised as our treatments! There are no generic printouts here— instead, we take the time to provide an anatomical explanation of your condition or injury. We detail the expected timeframe, including how long injury management may take, your prognosis, and information about injury prevention. Preston physiotherapists go above and beyond, and our physiotherapy clinic aims for the top!

Physiotherapy Preston: How It Works

1. Initial Assessment

At your physiotherapy consultation, we discuss your concerns and medical history and conduct a thorough assessment. We gather any information we may need about your chronic condition, musculoskeletal injuries, or sports injuries and decide which manual therapy may benefit you.

2. Education and Treatment Plan

Now that we're educated about you, it's time for us to turn the tables! Here, we use our visual learning aids, like anatomy models and posters, to explain your condition in detail. Then, we discuss your manual therapy options and see what you think.

3. Hands-on Treatment

Whether your hands-on treatment includes dry needling, joint mobilisation, Clinical Pilates, or a combination of therapies, we deliver it with a smile here in our Preston physiotherapy clinic.

4. Exercise and Support

Our treatment doesn't begin and end with our hands-on approach. We continue to support you in an effort to prevent future injuries, which could happen to anybody— injury prevention isn't only for those with current injuries, after all!

Your Physiotherapy Questions Answered

No, you don’t need a referral to visit a physio. Book your appointment online at our physiotherapy clinic, and we’ll work with you to create a treatment plan for you.

Yes, we do! We understand the role chronic pain may play in people’s lives, and we aim to play a role in assisting you to manage it. The Medicare initiative Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) allows those with EPC plans to access up to five allied health sessions per calendar year, and we have experience working with people with chronic conditions under this initiative. To find out more, visit our chronic pain page here.

We’re very proud to say yes, we do! Our team has a history of working with AFL teams and has ongoing relationships with many AFL athletes. Whether you aim to be a Magpie, a Hawk, or simply a better runner/water-fetcher at your kids’ soccer games, we work with athletes of all skills and strengths.
In many cases, yes, you may have treatment on the same day as your initial assessment. Sometimes, this may not be possible, for example, if we need to refer you to another practitioner for further evaluation. Still, generally, you may expect to begin treatment on the same day as your assessment.

Specific Physiotherapy is located at 149 Plenty Road, Preston, Vic. Our physiotherapists provide treatments for people in the Preston area, including Coburg, Heidelberg, Thornbury, Northcote, Reservoir, Ivanhoe, and surrounding suburbs.

The number of physio sessions you need will depend on your specific condition and goals, so there’s no one-size-fits-all number of sessions. We’ll discuss how many we expect you will need at your first appointment and update you if this changes throughout your treatment.
Yes, we do. Along with private patients, we also work with TAC and WorkCover patients. Contact us to learn more.

Frequently Asked Questions

The answer to this depends on your specific injury, wellness goals, and how you’d like to approach your overall well-being! Remedial massage therapy from an experienced massage therapist may be a great way to address and hopefully alleviate pain for some, while others prefer physiotherapy, and some combine the two! If you’re open to physiotherapy or a remedial massage from a Preston massage therapist, our team at Specific Physiotherapy is ready to welcome you.

A relaxation massage aims to reduce stress through long, flowing, gentle strokes and gentle kneading. A massage therapist may recommend a relaxation massage as part of a pregnancy massage, corporate massage, or any other situation where relaxing is the goal. On the other hand, a remedial massage focuses on alleviating pain such as neck pain, back pain, or pain elsewhere in the body following a detailed assessment as part of a treatment plan. A remedial massage appointment may also promote relaxation, though alleviating pain is often the main focus.

A remedial massage may benefit a wide range of people, but whether it’s right for you specifically will depend on your needs, goals, and any health conditions you may have. Your remedial massage therapist will consider these and other factors at your remedial massage appointment before commencing a treatment plan.

Are you looking for remedial massage in Preston? Wherever you are in the area, we’re not far away! You can find us at 149 Plenty Road, Preston Vic. We provide a range of massage therapy treatments for people in the local area, including Coburg, Heidelberg, Thornbury, Northcote, Reservoir, Ivanhoe, and surrounding suburbs.

While a remedial massage shouldn’t hurt, some people may experience slight discomfort depending on the techniques used. At Specific Physiotherapy, we ensure your Preston remedial massage is comfortable by communicating with you throughout the experience. Now that’s a top-quality remedial massage!
