What physiotherapy do I need?
Located right in the heart of Mooloolaba, Performance Rehab & Physio provides physiotherapy assessment and treatment for a wide range of pain, injury and movement concerns. The type of physiotherapy you need will depend on your symptoms, goals, injury history and how your condition is affecting your daily life. Your physiotherapist will complete an individual assessment and develop a treatment plan that may include hands-on therapy, education, exercise prescription, self-management strategies and return-to-work, sport or activity planning.
Depending on your circumstances, some or all of your physiotherapy services may be covered by private health insurance, Medicare plans, WorkCover, DVA, NDIS or motor vehicle insurance.
Injury Rehabilitation
Assessment and treatment for back pain, neck pain, joint pain, muscle strains, sports injuries and movement-related concerns. Treatment may include hands-on therapy, education, exercise prescription and advice to support recovery and return to daily activity.
Persistent Pain
Persistent pain, previously known as chronic pain, can affect areas such as the neck, lower back, shoulders and hips. Our physiotherapy approach focuses on pain education, self-management strategies, goal setting and graded exercise to help improve movement, confidence and daily function.
Appointments are generally 60 minutes and can be delivered in clinic or via telehealth. We also offer psychology support for pain management, available via telehealth.
Lymphoedema
Education, prevention, and early detection are key in managing lymphoedema post-surgery. Tiffany Williams is our physiotherapist qualified in the treatment for lymphoedema. This includes manual lymphatic drainage along with the prescription and application of compression garments.
Following breast cancer procedures, cording and scarring can occur. To assist with this, our physios use both manual therapy techniques and the prescription of exercises.
Other Physiotherapy Treatment Areas
Sports physiotherapy
Whether you’re recovering from an injury or aiming to perform at your best, our physiotherapists provide evidence-based assessment, rehabilitation, return-to-sport planning, and injury prevention for athletes and active individuals of all levels.
Functional Neurological Disorder
Functional Neurological Disorder, or FND, can affect walking, balance, strength, coordination, sensation, movement control, fatigue, pain, dizziness, tremors, jerks or spasms, speech or swallowing, dissociation, episodes of reduced awareness, or functional seizures. Symptoms are real, can fluctuate, and may be triggered or worsened by stress, illness, injury, fatigue or changes in the nervous system.
Physiotherapy for FND focuses on education, movement retraining, balance and walking practice, graded activity, fatigue management and self-management strategies. Tiffany Williams has additional training and education in Functional Neurological Disorder, supporting people to improve confidence, movement control and participation in daily activities.
Post Operation
“Post op” physio, whether it’s on knees, hips or shoulders, is actually best started prior to surgery. It’s ideal to get exercises started beforehand so that you have a good understanding of what to expect after surgery and how to manage in that early phase when pain and discomfort might be most acute.
Rehab physiotherapy works at reducing pain and swelling as well as regaining a functional range of movement and strength so that you can return as quickly as safely as possible to work, sport, or everyday leisure activities
Neck & Back Pain
Our clients most common ailments are neck and low back pain. These are best managed not just with manual therapy but with patient education and advice on appropriate exercise that will complement the healing process.
