Illawarra Sports Injury Rehabilitation and Physiotherapy Centre

Illawarra Sports Injury Rehabilitation and Physiotherapy Centre Physiotherapy services to help people move better and to perform better in daily life. ABN 40 442 761 152 Physiotherapy is the profession of movement.

It is about helping you enjoy life to the maximum by being able to move as well as possible. Over more than 30 years, I have been fortunate enough to work with many people to help them gain, regain or improve their movement. It has involved such a wide variety of circumstances and people:
- stroke patients, head injured patients, amputees, patients with neurological conditions
- patients who have had major trauma and/or major orthopaedic surgery
- sports people from purely social levels to elite level athletes
- helping workers with injury from the workplace return to work and their lifestyle
- people being limited by arthritic pain
- everyday people with sore backs or necks that interferes with their everyday activities

In each and every case, lack of normal, pain-free movement has impacted their life. My role has been to help these people get back their quality of life or to attain their maximal potential. Whilst I do have a special interest in sports injuries and orthopaedic conditions, and have worked extensively in these areas, every patient's story and circumstance is unique and important. I am thankful to the many patients over the years who have entrusted their health and recovery to my care. I am excited to have recently opened a new clinic that allows me the opportunity to provide greater assessment services, especially of sports and exercise-related injuries. It also allows for initial rehab to commence on-site and to more accutarely prescribe tailored rehabilitation exercises. If your life is being impacted by injury, painful movement or reduced movement, please call to make an appointment to assess your condition and see if a physiotherapy programme can help you move better, live better.

Imagine if the NSW Government could pay health staff as well as they pay tradies on infrastructure projects.

This offer is a major next step in rebuilding a supported and capable workforce and repairing our state’s healthcare. 🔨❤️‍🩹

We abolished the wages cap, established a new bargaining framework and are working to fix recruitment and retention.

We know that more health staff means lower wait times and better health outcomes – it’s as simple as that.

❓Why should I do prehab for my knee if I have an ACL injury?
❓ Why is 3 months of prehab prior to surgery or the decision to have surgery considered best practice?

1️⃣To decrease the inflammation and swelling in the knee. Remember, surgery is another trauma to the knee.
2️⃣To maintain or build up muscle, especially the quads. Quads muscle wasting occurs after an ACL injury, due to the pain and swelling.
3️⃣Regain a full range of movement.
4️⃣Reduce pain.
5️⃣Regain or improve proprioception in the knee. A torn ACL means there is a reduction in the proprioceptive input from the knee.
6️⃣Instil confidence in the knee. One of the biggest issues after an ACL injury is the patient losing confidence in their knee, preventing a return to sport.
7️⃣Produce a stable knee. This is the ultimate aim of prehab, to allow the patient to then decide if surgery is really required or if they can continue with conservative management.

🔴Not all ACL tears require surgery, and surgery is not right for everyone.

❗DM or book an assessment if you have had an ACL injury and:
▶want some advice
▶if your rehab isn't progressing
▶want to start some prehab

✅Telehealth consultations are available!

No Gap" and "Free" Physiotherapy services look like an enticing offer, right?

But before you sign up, dive a little deeper. How is your treatment being provided for such a low cost?

Is it because the service is low quality?
Are you made to come in for extra visits to make up for that initial discount?

If you are looking for QUALITY care, not CHEAP care, then this is the place for you.

Aspire Physiocare is a full-fee business that stands by the fees and quality of service provided.

Can you really afford to skimp on your own health?
