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!

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.
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.
