Mint Physiotherapy is different. 

Your goals, are our goals.  And with longer appointment times, we'll always listen first.

Whilst we like to believe we're the physio experts, we understand that you are the expert on you!

 

 

 


  • Musculoskeletal & Spinal Pain Physiotherapy - whether it's back pain, neck pain or any joint pain, our physiotherapists are highly skilled in diagnosing your condition and formulating a treatment plan for your longterm benefit. Rather than a 'quick fix' we'll both reduce your pain now, and seek to correct any underlying causes, to prevent the pain from recurring.

 

  • Sports Injury Physiotherapy - we can get you back on the field / court / pool faster, and ensure you remain injury free. We also have extensive experience rehabilitating players after surgery.

 

  • Vertigo & Dizziness Physiotherapy - our Physiotherapists have undergone additional training to complement their experience treating vertigo. Did you know 80% of BPPV (the most common form of vertigo) can be fixed with just 1-2 physio sessions!

 

  • Pregnancy & Postnatal Physiotherapy Care (including pelvic girdle and low back pain, abdominal separation rehab, ultrasound treatment for narrowed milk ducts / mastitis and laser therapy for nipple trauma caused by breastfeeding). All women require a postnatal physio assessment, after their medical check (6 wk appointment with Obstetrician / GP).

 

  • Pelvic Floor - Obstetric & Gynae Physiotherapy - Urinary Incontinence & Urgency, Prolapse, Pelvic Pain, Pre & Postnatal, Pre & Post surgical, Pelvic Floor Muscle Dysfunction

 

 

  • Group Physio - maximum 4-6 in an individualised exercise session:
    • Falls & Balance Group - 1 in 3 people over 65 fall each year. Targeted falls prevention exercises reduce your risk.
    • GLAD Arthritis for hip and knee OA - proven to reduce the need for surgery

 

  • Paediatric Physiotherapy - babies with torticollis (tight neck, turned head), plagiocephaly & brachiocephaly (flat spot on bub's head).

 

 

  • Running Analysis - an in-depth video assessment of your running style to improve your performance and efficiency. This biomechanical analysis will also provide insight into your pain & injuries. Our physiotherpists will provide corrections and exercises to ensure you're running at your very best.

 

  • Surgery & Rehabilitation Physiotherapy - orthopaedic surgeries (eg hip replacements, knee reconstructions, shoulder rotator cuff repairs, spinal surgery) require specific rehabilitation to ensure you achieve the best surgical outcomes. Our Physiotherapists have extensive experience rehabilitating the patients of surgeons both in hospital and once you're home.

 



REFERRALS:
