Physiotherapy

 Is pain holding you back from enjoying life to the fullest?

If you've been struggling with chronic pain, limited mobility, or a recent injury, physiotherapy could be the solution you've been searching for. At My Health Team in Redcliffe, our expert physiotherapists are here to guide you on your journey to recovery.

What to Expect During Your First Physiotherapy Session

When you first visit a physiotherapist, the initial assessment is crucial. This thorough evaluation helps determine whether physiotherapy is the right treatment for you. At My Health Team, we take the time to understand your pain and functional issues, using a holistic approach to address the root causes.

Physiotherapy vs. Chiropractic Care: What’s the Difference?

While both physiotherapists and chiropractors aim to relieve pain, their methods differ significantly. Physiotherapists focus on the entire body, addressing all joints and muscles to improve overall function. In contrast, chiropractors may concentrate more on spinal adjustments. Our physiotherapists at My Health Team consider your gait, walking ability, and how these impact your lower back, hips, and other areas.

How Physiotherapy Can Change Your Life

A common scenario we encounter is patients arriving with imaging scans and a sense of anxiety about their diagnosis. Our role is to ease those concerns by providing a clear, manageable treatment plan. We combine manual therapy with tailored exercise programs to not only reduce pain but also prevent future injuries.

Physiotherapy is more than just a pain management tool—it's a pathway to reclaiming your life. By addressing the entire body, My Health Team’s physiotherapists in Redcliffe help you move better, feel better, and live better.
