Physiotherapy

Move well, stay well

The traditional focus of physiotherapy is to remove pain and restore healthy, functional movement. At The Body Refinery, we take it to the next step. We are highly trained to assess and diagnose musculoskeletal problems and treat the underlying causes of the pain and dysfunction. We then take it to the next level to establish power strength and endurance in all your movement.
Physiotherapists complete a 4-year university degree in which they study human movement and its rehabilitation. The Body Refinery physiotherapists are also highly skilled technicians when it comes to movement restoration through Pilates and other movement therapies.
We are here to help you whether you are recovering from pain, illness, injury or whether you are looking to prevent pain illness and injury. Don’t waste time, to experience the benefits that physiotherapy can bring to your body and quality of life, call to book your appointment today.

Your initial session will be 45 minutes long. This will allow your physiotherapist to take a detailed history of your condition, assess your movements and do testing along with discussing key issues, treating you, and making a plan of action to move forward with. You should also have adequate time to ask questions so you truly understand your presenting problem and how to manage it.
