What is Physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession that assesses, diagnoses, treats, and works to prevent injury and disability through physical means. Physiotherapists are experts in movement and function who work in partnership with their patients, assisting them to overcome movement disorders, which may have been present from birth, acquired through accident or injury, or as a result of ageing.
At Living Springs Physiotherapy, we use a variety of treatment techniques to help your body work to its full potential. This can help repair damage by speeding up the healing process, reduce pain and stiffness associated with an injury. Our physiotherapists will also offer their advice and strategies to help you prevent future occurrences/aggravation to your problems.

Assessment Consultation 40min - $90

Our team is experienced in various types of musculoskeletal injuries. We identify the underlying causes, and together with you, work to prevent future occurrences. Where appropriate, we use techniques such as soft tissue massage, joint mobilisation, dry needling and prescribe exercises specific to your condition.

Headaches/Migraines
Headaches and migraines are becoming a more prevalent issue in the modern day society. Our physiotherapists have undergone specialised training with the Watson Headache Institute ® and will provide thorough assessment and diagnosis to find out the cause of your headache.
Whether it be cervicogenic headaches associated with neck dysfunction, tension headaches, cluster headaches or migraines, we will work with you to provide the tailored treatment and exercises.
Jaw/TMJ dysfunctions
The temporomandibular joint connects your lower jaw to the temporal bone of your skull, which is in front of each ear. Its movement is governed by a complex system of muscles and ligaments, as well as a cartilaginous disc. This allows you to move your jaw up and down, forward and back, side to side , so you can talk, chew and yawn. Problems with your jaw and the associated muscles are known as temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD) , and can be caused by many factors, most commonly trauma (such as a heavy blow or whiplash) and bruxism (grinding or clenching your teeth). Our physiotherapists have experience in assessing and treating jaw conditions, and can work with your doctor or dentist to optimise your outcome.
