We are proud to offer a wide range of comprehensive services to meet the needs of adults, seniors, and pediatric patients. Our team of professional caregivers.
Musculoskeletal physiotherapy is the assessment and treatment of your muscles, ligaments, tendons, joints or bones. If you have suffered an injury to any of these structures, your physiotherapist will employ advanced clinical assessment and diagnostic methods to find out about nature of the injury. Your physiotherapist will then discuss a treatment plan with you.
You don’t necessarily have to have a specific mechanism of injury to seek treatment, many musculoskeletal complaints arise without you even realising what you did. Regardless of this, our professionals can still assess your condition and work out a comprehensive management plan.
Did you sleep awkwardly last night? Is sitting at your desk giving you headaches? Quite often your neck can be the cause of headaches. This can make activities such as working, driving or simply turning your head very difficult.
Our therapists can provide postural advice and correction as well as soft tissue therapy and joint mobilization. Often if a headache is neck related it can be relieved through Physiotherapy.
Many of our Physiotherapists are fully trained in the use of dry needling for relieving muscular aches and pains. Although the idea may sound frightening it is often quite effective for relaxing tight muscles and easing pressure on joints.
PhysioCare Townsville team members can give you exercises and advice to help manage a variety of pelvic floor problems, including stress and urge incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, as well as pregnancy-related and postnatal problems.
Due to our partnership working with workers compensation agencies such as Injury NET, WorkCover/Q-Comp and the Woolworths Physio Recovery Program, we are accustomed to dealing with workplace injuries and the communication and documentation that is involved with these clients.
There can be a number of complications following any type of surgery (eg. ACL reconstruction, hip replacement) and our trained therapists can help you get back on track through strengthening exercises, pain management, balance retraining and regaining range of movement.
Physiotherapists are trained to manage the complications of a number of respiratory conditions such as pneumonia or cystic fibrosis. We can assist in the clearing of mucus from your lungs, teach better breathing strategies or develop exercise programs for those short of breath.
Our Physiotherapists are all trained in the management of neurological conditions. We can assist in the rehabilitation of anything from strokes and acquired brain injuries to chronic neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis or cerebral palsy.
Home visits and treatments can be arranged for those who are unable to leave the house or nursing home. Please call and talk to one of our friendly receptionists if you require a Home Visit or Nursing Home Consultation.
Our Functional Pre-Employment Screening program provides a comprehensive baseline assessment of your employees’ musculoskeletal health and can be kept as a record of their injury status prior to commencement of work.
Is pain limiting you from exercising or affecting your gym routine? We can provide a comprehensive program that best suits your body as well as attend a gym session with you to correct any poor movement patterns or unsafe techniques.
The benefits of water-based therapy are well documented. Exercise in the water can assist in decreasing the load on your joints as well as relaxing muscles while providing gentle compression.
Poor manual handling practice is one of the most common causes of injuries in the workplace. Physiocare Townsville can implement manual handling training to correct poor workplace techniques and identify hazards. One on one training or group presentations can be completed in your workplace to reduce this disabling and costly issue.
We treat a number of patients under the NDIS. Our Physiotherapists provide hands on therapy, hydrotherapy, exercise-based treatment and functional retraining to suit each NDIS patients needs. We offer both an in clinic and a home visit service to be able to address each patients’ individual needs and work towards their own personal goals. We have opened our own rehabilitation gym to be able to provide a space for functional training and strengthening in a more appropriate setting.
Several of our highly trained Physiotherapists have undertaken further study to work with Paediatric patients. Our Physios are able to tailor a treatment session to best suit the needs of each child. We understand that children’s needs can be very complex which is why our treatment sessions vary from our treatment rooms to the local park to the patient’s own house.
