Services
Bodywell Therapy is a physiotherapy practice providing assessment and treatment of all musculoskeletal problems. Under this banner of physiotherapy we also draw upon a diverse range of other treatment skills to manage pain & movement dysfunction and improve health.
Treating the cause, not the symptom, is paramount to the overall success you will achieve in restoring your overall wellbeing. A thorough physiotherapy assessment of all aspects of your complaint and your lifestyle will enable us to deliver an individualised plan to manage your complaint. A number of approaches may be adopted in this treatment plan.

Physiotherapy
Treatment and management focuses heavily on a hands-on approach. Manual therapy techniques such as joint mobilisation, soft-tissue mobilisation and release, muscle energy technique, postural retraining and neuromuscular mobilisation blended with a strong emphasis on rehabilitative based exercise techniques offers a well-rounded management style to regain, retrain, maintain movement, or any combination of these, enabling you to move well and stay well.
Traditional Chinese Acupuncture
Scientific literature has long shown acupuncture can be effective in the management of a variety of musculoskeletal and systemic conditions. East meets West here, using traditional theory and treatment methods such as needling and acupressure, in combination with physiotherapy techniques, or alone, to improve treatment outcome.
Clinical Pilates
Clinical Pilates is a dynamic exercise method developed specifically by physiotherapists as a tool for determining poor patterns of movement, core control issues and painful spinal conditions. The depth of scope to Clinical Pilates is based upon evidence that is continually being developed from joint and spinal stability & related research.
This service provided by BodyWell Therapy may make up part of your treatment and management plan or can be initiated as a service on its own. It encompasses physiotherapy skills from the initial assessment and injury history evaluation through to the devision of an individualised program that suits the person and is pathology specific. Pilates can be taught on a 1:1 or small group basis, or can be adopted as a home exercise program and monitored/progressed at regular intervals.
The focus of Clinical Pilates exercise is to facilitate functional stability muscle control moreso than pure strength, promoting efficient movement and reducing pain and injury for individuals. With this in mind it is best suited to small groups or individual sessions.
Rehabilitative Exercise
Just as we want fuel efficient cars, we want energy efficient movement. One size does not fit all! We are all unique
Re-education and training of more efficient movement patterns following injury, disease, or lifestyle factors, is important in restoring pain-free movement and achieving more dynamic movement at work or in sport. Part of the physiotherapy service at Bodywell Therapy is to identify and address muscle and postural dysfunction and assist in re-training your body to move as well as it can.
Specific forms of rehabilitation outside of general musculoskeletal management plan may include:
Clinical pilates
Resistance training
Personal training
Small group exercise ie. Improving flexibility for golf, cardiac rehabilitation
