Pain can be scary and disrupt your life. Helen Potter will listen to your story and help you to discover why you are suffering. Longer appointments allow you to discuss your goals and treatment options in a private friendly environment. At In Touch Physiotherapy Helen offers Specialist Physiotherapy care.
Her extensive clinical expertise is recognised by the Australian College of Physiotherapists' 2007 Title "Specialist Physiotherapist." You can expect some improvement within two treatment sessions but chronic and multi-factorial problems will take longer. I screen for serious conditions and advise you on scans, investigations or review by your doctor.

Have you been told you need a knee replacement, or back surgery? You may discover I can help relieve your pain. Alternatively I can assist your preparation for surgery so that you achieve a more optimal result. The title, Specialist Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist and Fellow of the Australian College of Physiotherapy (2007), acknowledges my advanced training and extensive experience.
The private and friendly environment of my clinic means we can achieve an optimal outcomes together. My goal is to empower you with accurate information and self-care advice to minimise recurrence where possible. Subsequent consultations last about 25 minutes. You can arrange a longer consultation (with a higher fee) if you prefer to manage several problems at one visit.
You are not alone in suffering headaches. More than three million Australians suffer from migraines or headaches, with about fifteen percent taking painkillers at some stage. The term "headache" refers to pain felt in the head, brain, neck, jaw, eyes, ears or sinuses. Our brains register and interpret the sensory impulses that reach it.
Pain is an unpleasant feeling felt somewhere in the body that urges us to protect that location. Pain is the only protective mechanism we are aware of and compels us to do something to protect the painful bit. Staying in your comfortable belief zones, will keep you on the rocky path to chronic pain and disability.

Helen is a very professional physiotherapist. Understands exactly what i feel even though i sometimes can't describe the feelings properly. Her simple yet effective exercises and suggestions made my back much less tense and painful. Also, her easy going nature makes you feel comfortable and relaxed.
