HOW Does BRISBANE PHYSIOTHERAPY treatment work?
In your first consultation, our Brisbane physiotherapists will do a deep dive to properly understand your injury and how it’s affecting you. Then they will take you through a comprehensive examination to find the root cause of your pain and provide a diagnosis. Once our Brisbane physiotherapists know what’s going on, they can start treating your condition.
Exercise Therapy
Our goal is to help you live pain-free long term, and even though we love seeing you, we’ve truly succeeded if you don’t need to come back! In addition to the hands-on therapy you receive, our physiotherapists will provide you with a specific rehabilitation program to better manage your injury and try to prevent it from returning.
Active Release Technique
Active Release Technique (ART for short) uses muscle release techniques that involve shortening and lengthening the muscle under pressure to break up scar tissue and muscle tightness. It’s our Brisbane physiotherapists’ primary method for treating problems relating to muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and nerves.
Dry Needling
Dry needling is used to elicit a response from your soft tissues (the muscle will often ‘twitch’) to release tension and aid healing. Think of it like a super-deep massage which can be both incredibly helpful and satisfying. Whilst it might look like acupuncture, Brisbane dry needling is more focused on releasing tensions and knots.

Physiotherapy Brisbane FAQs
How can physiotherapy help with pain management and injury prevention?
Brisbane physiotherapy care plays a crucial role in managing a clients pain by identifying the root cause of the pain and developing a tailored treatment plan to address it. A physiotherapist will use a combination of targeted exercises to improve strength, flexibility, and range of motion, as well as manual therapy techniques such as massage or joint mobilisation. Additionally, our senior sports physiotherapist may use modalities like heat or cold therapy, ultrasound, or electrotherapy to reduce pain and inflammation. By targeting the underlying issue causing the pain, rather than simply masking the symptoms with medication, physical therapy can provide lasting pain relief.
Musculoskeletal physiotherapy is also a valuable tool for injury prevention as it can help identify and address underlying bodily weaknesses or imbalances that increase the risk of injury. For example, an experienced physiotherapist may develop a specific workout regimen to strengthen and stabilise the muscles surrounding an injured joint, improving overall function and reducing the risk of reinjury. Additionally, a sports physiotherapist can provide education on proper form and technique for activities like sports or lifting, which can help prevent common future injuries.
A physiotherapist can effectively treat a wide range of conditions, including:
- Lower back pain
- Neck pain
- Knee pain
- Shoulder pain
- Shin splints
- Tennis elbow
- Ankle sprains
- Plantar fasciitis
- Sciatica
- Hip pain
- Chronic pain
Overall, physiotherapy and sports physiotherapy is a non-invasive and effective approach to managing pain and preventing future injuries. By consulting with our Brisbane physiotherapist, patients can create a personalised treatment plan to address their unique needs and goals.
