A Physiotherapist plays a vital role in healing, pain relief and rehabilitation following fractures, surgery, muscle, tendon, ligament and joint injuries. Treatment aims to correct and stimulate the body's own natural healing processes. In addition to being able to provide general musculoskeletal physiotherapy services, our physiotherapists are also highly trained and skilled in the assessment and management of shoulder and upper limb conditions.
You may be seen by an Extend therapist as part of your inpatient care following an injury or surgery. Hospital inpatient therapy will usually be arranged by your treating specialist or surgeon as necessary. If you have private health insurance, and your insurer is contracted to the hospital, we may be able to bill the cost of our inpatient treatment directly to the hospital.
Our hand therapists and physiotherapists also see patients in consultation with the hand and upper limb surgeons in the Brisbane Hand and Upper Limb Clinic (Brisbane Private Hospital Specialist Centre) and at Queensland Combined Orthopaedic Specialists (The Wesley Hospital). Your treating surgeon will usually arrange this.

A big thank-you to all the great staff for your friendly and professional service today. I really appreciate your ‘can-do’ attitude with regard to making my hand splints….they are going to make a huge difference with regard to reducing the pain in my hands at night….Thanks in particular to Chelsea & Bridget. 👏👏

I have been to Extend Rehabilitation Greenslopes for two injuries both involving shoulders. One a dislocation of my right and the other, a fall causing significant loss of function in my left plus hip pain.
Ben at Extend Greenslopes treated me both times and his understanding and skills and his ability to explain what he found and what was needed to fix it was outstanding.
I would recommend him and Extend Rehabilitation Greenslopes without reservation.

I had an appointment on 31 May 2021. I didn’t even get past reception before I was made to feel like I wasn’t important to their business. No one asked me my name, or if I even had an appointment. I was left to sit in the waiting area for 20 minutes before I left in disgust and totally disappointed. A follow up call was also pointless. No apology or explanation why I wasn’t greeted on arrival or left to sit without any acknowledgement that I was even there.
The Physio could have been exceptional, but that’s something I’ll never know.
