Our physiotherapists aim to empower you, the patient, with the knowledge of self management strategies, so as to achieve your long term goals and functional ability specified for your needs and requirements.

We are first-line practitioners, so no need for a doctor’s referral.

We manage injuries sustained at work and work in close collaboration with the doctor, employer and case manager to monitor your safe and graded return to work.

We are also the preferred providers for BUPA and Medibank, and are NDIS-recognised.

All of our physiotherapists are registered with the Australian Health Practitioners Agency (AHPRA), as well as the Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA).

Lymphoedema is characterised by swelling of certain parts of the body, caused by problems with the lymphatic system. It commonly occurs as a side effect of cancer treatment where lymph nodes have been removed or damaged. For example, 1 in 5 women who survive breast cancer will develop lymphoedema.

We can provide patients with education on self-care and complication prevention which can prove effective. Taping, exercise and treatment of secondary problems (eg. neck pain and shoulder pain) are also effective at managing the condition.

Preparing properly for your physio appointment is essential to get the most out of your session. This includes:

Bringing all relevant documentation (medical history, referrals etc.)
Wearing comfortable clothing suitable for exercising
Having questions prepared

We have a friendly Physio team who are happy to see you. We can work through any questions and queries you may have to ensure the best treatment possible.
