Improving your quality of life
Physiotherapists help people by improving their physical function and/or pain whether it's from an injury or a medical condition. We are all about patient-centredness i.e. being respectful, empathic and listening to the patient and treating them as a person and not a mere condition/injury.

aged care

hands on therapy (massage, manipulations, mobilisations, stretches)
