WHAT WE DO

In Australia, physiotherapists are “first contact practitioners” meaning you do not need to have a referral to see us. Physiotherapists are able to diagnose and treat all manner of musculoskeletal conditions. Physiotherapists are the most recommended practitioner by your GP.

We commonly are in contact with our patients medical team, be that GP’s, surgeons, specialists, personal trainers, nutritionists and coaches. If you would like us to be liaising with your team, we would love to ensure alignment to guarantee you the best possible results.

Yes, we have a HICAPS terminal on site, meaning you just need to bring your healthcare card (or card in your digital wallet). HICAPS is partnered with all major private health insurers in Australia, allowing you to claim for your appointment on the spot.

Our physiotherapists are experienced sports people themselves and have been through their own injuries, rehabilitation and surgeries. We know what it’s like going through the physical pain and emotional turmoil of having to take time off sport and/or work. Sports physiotherapy has a strong focus on;

• Ligament injuries such as ACL tears in the knee, shoulder dislocations and sprained ankles
• Tendinitis (now known as tendinopathy) such as in the Achilles, patella, rotator cuff or tennis elbow
• Muscle tears such as a torn hamstring or calf muscle
• Joint specific injuries such as meniscus (cartilage) tears in the knee and impingement syndromes in the hips or shoulders

Years of experience tell us that no 2 injuries are the same and that the 2 biggest factors in how quickly you recover are the time it takes you to get checked out and the thoroughness of the clinical examination.

Yes, it’s one of our expertises. Fixio is a spine-focused clinic!

We are very experienced in seeing patients with spinal related pain and provide best treatment methods to improve the speed of your recovery. This multifactorial expert led approach to spinal pain allows our physiotherapists to accurately diagnose your injury and assess contributing factors to your spinal condition. This deep dive into your physical health allows Fixio Physios to design a bespoke rehabilitation program with short, medium and long term outcomes to ensure success and a pain free future. We take a holistic hands-on approach.

Very rarely is there “one thing” causing long-standing back or neck pain in an individual. Hence we take a deep dive in your initial appointment to see what else will be contributing to your symptoms so that we can address the whole issue, not just “do some exercises”. Don’t worry, there’ll be plenty of exercise to do, but we have to take a multifaceted approach. When we say hands-on, we don’t just mean that we are a manual therapy clinic. Yes, you will get the hands on expert treatment to get you moving again, but we take a very hands-on approach to tackling your pain and getting you pain solutions that you haven’t had before.

After surgery, surgeons recommend physiotherapy as the most essential component to the rehabilitation of your new or improved body part. Surgery corrects structural problems, and now the body must relearn function to prevent another injury from occurring. Rehabilitation is a program which involves re-establishing optimal joint motion and function, specific muscle strength and then incorporating this into overall function and return to sport training.

Post surgery rehab can be a long process which requires both hands on physiotherapy and gym based strength and balance training. We know the process inside and out, having been on both sides and we will design the ideal program for your rehabilitation. With our state of the art gym and experienced physiotherapists you can sleep easy knowing you are in the best hands to return you to what you love doing.

Pre surgical preparation is also known as pre-habilitation or prehab. It is a pre-surgery regime to strengthen your body and get it into optimal shape which is one of the strongest predictors for a full recovery after surgery. It is common for pain and weakness to present in tandem, however recovery from surgery will require strength. In prehab you build strength and stability where you need it and we ensure that you get the most out of your rehabilitation.
