Physiotherapy That Moves With You

Physiotherapy can be discussed in relation to movement and physical function. Prime Medic delivers physiotherapy as part of our broader allied health services, available via telehealth in whatever way you prefer - via online consultations or in-person visits.

If you are experiencing pain, stiffness, or changes after an injury, physiotherapy consultations may be considered. Our professionals can make physiotherapy services available to you across Australia without waiting weeks or going through paperwork.

What Is Physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy is also known as physical therapy. It primarily focuses on supporting physical activity and mobility, particularly for people with chronic diseases, and addresses movement and functional capacity considerations. Physiotherapists mainly use movement assessment tools to provide guidance tailored to your needs and support your daily movement and physical function.

If you are experiencing muscle tightening, joint pain, or having a problem with your balance, visiting a physiotherapist can be very helpful to talk about different factors that may affect your movement and figure out the ways that you can use to get back your movement step by step.

Easy Access to Physiotherapy, Wherever You Are

You can have a physiotherapy session via Prime Medic no matter where you are in Australia. There are two modes of service delivery: telehealth appointments and home visit consultations; your choice, always! Follow-up discussions can take place via telehealth, and further talks without leaving your apartment.

Our services include:

• Telehealth physiotherapy appointments
• Home physiotherapy support (only in some locations)
• Assisting with referrals, including a specialist referral medical clearance certificates, and follow-ups

If you are looking for physiotherapy near you, need a medical clearance certificate, or want support without leaving home, consultations are available via Prime Medic. Additionally, you should book an online doctor's appointment. Bulk billing may be available, subject to eligibility, and you may need a referral or other supporting documentation for your physiotherapy sessions.

Common Conditions Physiotherapists May Support

Recovering from surgery or injury is not the only time you can use physiotherapy. Many individuals seek help with daily issues or ongoing discomfort that affects their daily activities.

Here is a list of some common problems people ask for help with:

• Back and neck pain
• Joint stiffness and mobility issues
• nerve-related symptoms
• hand or wrist discomfort and tendon irritation
• shoulder stiffness
• Recovering after surgery or a hospital stay
• Sports-related injuries and muscular tightness
• Chronic pain or difficulties in general movement

In some cases, an orthopaedic assessment may also be considered to better understand joint or bone-related concerns. In case of doubt as to whether physiotherapy will be helpful to you, it is excellent to have a consultation and come up with a solution together.

Physiotherapy That's Personalised to You

Discuss support options based on individual needs and circumstances because every human being is unique. Your physiotherapist might employ the following methods depending on your situation:

• Rehab exercises to help support functional activities
• soft tissue techniques discussed during consultation
• Posture correction, along with movement guidance at a slow, increasing pace
• hands-on techniques discussed where appropriate
• Stretching techniques were discussed where appropriate
• Application of heat or cold
• modalities discussed where clinically appropriate
• An exercise program was discussed for home-based activity

Such methods can be applied provided that they are in line with what you have discussed in your consultation and suit your support management.

Physiotherapy for All Stages of Life

Physiotherapy services need to be tailored to the individual patients. Our physiotherapists have the experience of working with individuals at different phases of their lives and under various circumstances, including:

• Sports physio for strains or rehab after activity
• Ortho physio for the alleviation of joint or bone-related issues
• neuro-focused physiotherapy support for movement challenges
• Geriatric physio to be able to discuss mobility and daily activity considerations
• Paediatric physio for children's growth and movement development
• Women's health physio before and after pregnancy
• Cardiopulmonary physiotherapy for breathing and strengthening
• Aged care physiotherapy support.

During the session, your focus will mainly be on what really matters to you, like walking with greater comfort, feeling more stable, or returning to daily activities following surgery. Visit the guide for support and programs focused on physiotherapy for older adults and maintaining mobility.
