When should I see a physio?
There’s no one set reason to see a physio. If you’re questioning it I’d recommend booking in, or at the very least shooting me an email. Best case you land in the right spot and I can help you out, worst case I can point you in the right direction (physios tend to do a bit of project management in this way)
But for those of you who love a list, check it out
Persistent pain: when it’s more than just a niggle
Pain that sticks around for more than a couple of days, or keeps showing up again and again, is your body's way of asking you to pay attention. It doesn't need to be dramatic or stop you in your tracks to be worth looking into. Sometimes the smaller, nagging stuff is exactly what benefits most from an early conversation, because it's easier to work with before it becomes a bigger pattern. If something's been hanging around longer than feels normal for you, that's reason enough to book in.
Limited movement: what it means and what you can do
Movement that feels reduced, whether that's because it hurts to get there or it just feels stuck and unwilling to cooperate, is worth digging into. There's often more than one factor at play, and untangling those is exactly the kind of two way conversation we can have. Together we’ll work to assess what's actually contributing to the limitation, not just the symptom in front of us, and build a plan from there. The goal isn't a quick stretch and a shrug, it's understanding why your body is behaving the way it is right now.
Injury rehab: from sprains to post-op recovery
Sprains, strains, tears, pre and post op recovery, if it falls under the injury rehab umbrella, we've got you. Every injury and every body responds differently, so rehab looks different depending on what you're working with and what you need to get back to. We'll build something individualised around your specific injury and your goals, whether that's returning to sport, getting through daily life comfortably, or simply feeling steady on your feet again. Wherever you're at in the process, there's a plan that can meet you there.
Preventative care: physio before something ‘goes wrong’
Feeling good is honestly one of the best times to see a physio, not just because something's gone wrong. Working with us when things are already going well means we can help you identify proactive strategies before they're needed, whether that's optimising a training program, having a go-to plan for when your body's feeling the effects of a big few days, or just having some support in your corner. Staying on top of your health shouldn't feel like a full time job, and preventative care is one of the most practical ways to make sure it doesn't.
Remember, physio isn’t just for injuries. It’s about keeping your body working well so you can enjoy your day without pain or limitations.
If something feels off, don’t wait. Your body will thank you.
