Specific Physiotherapy: Customised Treatment Solutions

Our team of Alphington physiotherapists concentrate on devising the best possible treatment tailored to your needs, supporting your path to optimal health. Recognising that each body is different, we believe in creating unique treatment plans accordingly.

Physiotherapy Alphington
By discussing your medical history, we gain insights into your chronic conditions, sports injuries, or any musculoskeletal problems, and then introduce you to our range of treatment options, including hands-on therapies, for instance:
Dry needling
Joint manipulation (often used for ankles, knees, the spine, etc)
Trigger point therapy
Strength and conditioning exercises
Specific exercises and personalised educational material may be part of your physiotherapy plan. We go beyond standard handouts, offering a comprehensive anatomical breakdown of your injury or condition, discussing expected recovery times, including the management of your injury, prognosis, and ways to prevent future injuries. Our physiotherapists provide top-tier care, aiming for excellence in our clinic.

Physiotherapy Alphington: Our Treatment Process

1. Initial Examination

During your physiotherapy consultation, we'll talk about your concerns and medical history, and carry out a comprehensive assessment. We'll collect all necessary details regarding your chronic condition, musculoskeletal injuries, or sports injuries, and determine which manual therapy is best suited for your specific requirements.

2. Learning and Treatment Strategy

Now that we understand your situation, it's our chance to enlighten you! We use visual learning tools, including anatomy models and informative posters, to give you a detailed explanation of your condition. Afterwards, we'll present your manual therapy options and seek your input.

3. In-Clinic Treatment

At our physiotherapy clinic, your hands-on treatment, be it dry needling, joint mobilisation, Clinical Pilates, remedial massage, or a blend of various therapies, is always delivered with a friendly smile.

4. Physical Activity and Ongoing Help

Our approach to treatment encompasses more than direct hands-on therapy. We actively continue to assist you in preventing future injuries, which can impact anyone, not just individuals with existing injuries.

FAQs

There’s no need for a referral to consult with a physio. You can easily book an appointment online at our physiotherapy clinic, where we’ll team up to design a treatment strategy just for you. 

Certainly, we provide support for chronic pain management. We understand its impact on daily life and aim to assist in its management. The Medicare Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) program allows those with an EPC plan to access up to five allied health sessions per year, and our experience with chronic conditions under this program is extensive. For further information, check out our chronic pain page here. 

Absolutely, we do! With a background in collaborating with AFL teams and maintaining connections with numerous AFL athletes, our team is well-equipped to work with athletes. Whether your goal is to join the Magpies, Hawks, or just enhance your performance as a runner or supporter in your children’s soccer games, we cater to athletes of every level and ability.  

In many instances, it’s possible to have your treatment on the same day as your first assessment. There might be times when this isn’t achievable, for instance, if we need to refer you for further examination elsewhere. Generally, though, treatment on the day of your assessment is a realistic expectation.  

You’ll find Specific Physiotherapy ideally located at 149 Plenty Road, Preston, Vic, offering a convenient location for your physiotherapy appointments.  

The amount of physio sessions required varies based on your particular condition and objectives, meaning there isn’t a standard number of appointments for everyone. We’ll provide an estimate of the sessions you might need during your initial session and keep you updated if this changes during your treatment.  

In addition to private patients, our services extend to those covered by TAC and WorkCover. Feel free to contact us for more detailed information.
