A physiotherapist can help you overcome many physical problems or at least ease the pain a little. At the East Perth Medical Centre, we have a qualified and very experienced physiotherapist in Dianne Mavor. Dianne can help you address your mobility problems which may be a result of illness, injury, or age.

Physiotherapy treatment is available for numerous problems including:

• back pain
• neck pain
• joint pain
• headaches
• stress
• incontinence
• sporting injuries
• motor vehicle injuries
• repetitive strain injuries
• workers’ compensation injuries

Treatment may involve:

• massage
• therapeutic exercises
• pilates
• gym programs
• pool programs

Prevention is always better than the cure which is why we recommend work place assessments to ensure staff are using correct work techniques and correct posture to avoid injuries. Many sporting injuries can also be prevented if the advice of a physio is followed.

The primary purpose of seeing a physiotherapist is to receive treatment for mobility problems. The first step in this process is to get the correct diagnoses of your condition and needs. Your doctor or a physio can diagnose your condition or advise on treating your existing condtion. Conditions such as arthritis can be debilitating but regular physiotherapy sessions can help relieve the pain. Other serious conditions can also be treated by a physiotherapist such as Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and stroke. If you have any of these conditions, speak to your doctor about whether treatment by a physiotherapist can help you or make an appointment directly with a physio.
