How can Chill Physiotherapy help you?
Physiotherapists are trained in the assessment and treatment of musculoskeletal injury and are often the first port of call for the injured athlete.

Physiotherapy management may include:
- Joint mobilisation and manipulation
- Soft tissue massage and stretching
- Dry needling
- Taping and bracing
- Exercise programs for rehabilitation and injury prevention
- Postural assessment and corrective exercise including Clinical Pilates
- Specific sports musculoskeletal screening for enhanced performance and injury prevention
- Referral to other allied health and/or medical practitioners
- Electrotherapy modalities

Our physiotherapists are specialised in creating the right rehabilitation program for you and this may include the development of a home program, or gym program that can be performed in your local gym.

At Chill Sports and Spinal Physiotherapy we have a unique approach to physiotherapy management. We believe that our patients should be actively involved in their recovery process in order to benefit most from physiotherapy. Our team ensure you get the latest treatment techniques to achieve optimal results.

Our team aims to assist your recovery by:
1. Completing a thorough and accurate assessment of your injury. This may include specific muscle and joint testing.
2. Providing an in-depth explanation, including the underlying causes of your injury. Usually this can be achieved in your initial consultation.
3. Developing an effective management treatment plan which fits in with your lifestyle and goals. Generally this plan will include specific physiotherapy treatment, therapeutic exercise and possibly activity modification and reloading.
4. Finally, implementing strategies to optimise your recovery including possible referrals to physiotherapy rehabilitation, diagnostic imaging, sports physicians or podiatry.

The balance of the rehabilitation plan will largely depend upon your individual problem. In many situations an ongoing maintenance program is required to achieve optimal results. This may take the form of specific strengthening exercises, flexibility program and education.

We are open Monday - Saturday and on-call on Sundays
