Exercise is the best medicine. Sometimes pain or weakness can interfere with staying fit. Physiotherapy can help you to keep your body strong and mobile. Programs can be tailored to improving your balance and co-ordination. The physiotherapists are happy to assist you in setting up a suitable and safe program at the local gym, in the pool or at home.

Exercises groups are available which address strength and balance. Please ring and book for these.

After any surgery your body needs a chance to heal and recover. Initially physiotherapy may help with gently moving your body so that range of movement is maintained. After a few weeks you will be ready to get your muscles strong and movements back to normal. Physiotherapy can help guide and optimize your rehabilitation.

Sometimes babies do not develop as quickly as expected and physiotherapy programs can assist the child to maximize their potential.

Helen Cooper has worked in many settings, treating children with a range of developmental problems. We are happy to work with NDIS clients.

Sometimes pain stays around long after tissues are healed and strong pain medications are not helping. Learning about the nature of pain and how our emotions and personal history can influence what we feel can empower people to improve their quality of life. Helen has done advanced training in pain management through the University of Sydney and Uni SA. She can assist in developing a effective rehabilitation plan.

Both Helen and Kareena are Sports Trainers and can do first aid and strapping for sporting events. Phone to arrange coverage.

Helen can fit some pessaries for stress incontinence and prolapse.
