Physio Preston

Physical Healthcare was first established in the Northern suburbs of Melbourne in 1997 as Active Care Physiotherapy Group. Since its inception the practice has expanded over twelve sites spanning the northern, eastern, western and bayside suburbs of Melbourne. In 2009, the clinics were rebranded as Physical Healthcare to better reflect the range of services we offer beyond physiotherapy.

Physical Healthcare is conveniently located in Melbourne, including in Preston, Bulleen, Lalor, St Kilda, Sydenham, Taylors Lakes and Thomastown. We also have a number of female physiotherapists available to provide treatment in our Preston, Bulleen, St Kilda, Sydenham and Taylors Lakes clinics.

Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession dedicated to the treatment and management of muscle, joint and nerve disorders, aimed at restoration of normal function that may have been compromised through injury, ageing, disease or environmental factors.Physiotherapists are highly trained in assessment, management and treatment of sports injuries, occupational injuries (work related), motor vehicle injuries and general physical injuries.

Physical Healthcare offers a variety of services to assist our clients with their pain and rehabilitation. Deeply integrated within our philosophy and practice is the utilisation of a hands-on approach or manual therapy. In most instances, our physiotherapists will incorporate manual therapy within a multi-modal treatment package such as exercise, lifestyle advice, electrotherapy and dry needling to enhance recovery.

Despite spending almost half of our weekdays at work, we will often periodically neglect our health during these moments. This is particularly evident in sedentary workers who spend most of their time seated or even standing in front of a computer. By doing this, we are more prone to poor postures such as a rounded upper back, flat lower back and a protruding head.

Rehabilitation is an extremely vital process after an operation or surgery. Even after a successful procedure has been performed by the surgeon, there is a significant amount of work required to return you back to your normal and fit self. Whether it's returning to sport or even being able to do the house chores, working with your physiotherapist is essential for achieving your postoperative goals.
