physiotherapy for teens and adults

Physiotherapists are experts in the human body and its movement. Physiotherapists support people to restore their movement and function when someone is affected by injury, illness, or disability. Physiotherapists can also help prevent risk of injury or reduced function in the future.

Physiotherapists use a holistic approach which involves the person being directly involved in their therapy and working towards goals which are meaningful to them.

physiotherapists can support families in their natural environments, for example:

• home,
• school,
• day programs,
• workplace,
• supported disability accommodation,
• local pool, gym and in the community.

We use a capacity building approach to support you with ideas and strategies which you can integrate into your daily life and routines, along with direct hands-on therapy.
