At By Design Physiotherapy, we offer a wide range of treatment options to address various musculoskeletal issues, ensuring that you receive the care you need, when you need it. Here's a brief overview of some common conditions we treat and how our services can help:

OUR TREATMENT OPTIONS

  • We've integrated Dry Needling into our array of innovative treatments, to address injuries and pain. This technique aims to alleviate pain by desensitising tissue, reducing inflammation, enhancing local healing, and relaxing muscle spasms. It's one of our manual therapy approaches, and is offered where needed.

  • Lower back pain affects up to 80% of people at some point and is one of the most common reasons for seeking physiotherapy. We focus on identifying the root cause—whether it’s a muscular imbalance, disc irritation, joint stiffness, or nerve involvement. Our sessions combine manual therapy, progressive strength exercises, and education to build confidence with movement, reduce pain, and prevent recurrence. We help you get back to doing what you love without fear or limitation.

  • Neck and jaw pain are increasingly common, often linked to stress, poor posture, or prolonged screen time. At By Design Physio, we take a detailed look at what’s driving your symptoms—whether it’s tight neck muscles, reduced joint mobility, or jaw tension and clenching. Our approach includes targeted hands-on treatment, specific exercises to restore movement and control, and strategies to improve posture, sleep, and work ergonomics. The goal is to help you move with confidence, reduce flare-ups, and prevent long-term issues.

  • We love seeing headache and neck tension ease under our care. Many headaches and migraines are linked to muscle tension, neck stiffness, or poor posture. Through a detailed assessment and history, we identify the contributing factors—whether they stem from the neck, jaw, shoulders, stress, lifestyle, or nervous system sensitivity. We combine hands-on treatment, targeted exercises, and simple management strategies to relieve symptoms and reduce frequency. Our goal is to give you both immediate relief and long-term control.

  • Osteoarthritis doesn’t have to mean slowing down. At By Design Physio, we’re committed to helping you stay strong, mobile, and independent. Our team creates tailored plans that include home and gym-based exercises to build joint strength and mobility, hands-on therapy to reduce pain and stiffness, and practical education on joint-friendly movement for daily life. We focus on managing symptoms while improving the way you move—so you can stay active and live life by design.

  • Problems such as rotator cuff injuries, tendonitis, impingements, bursitis, or sprains, we offer thorough assessments, individualised and sport-specific exercises, hands-on therapy, and advice on correct body mechanics to help you optimally heal and prevent future issues.

  • Whether it’s from sport, lifting, or daily activities, muscle strains can be frustrating and limiting. At By Design Physio, we use targeted exercises, hands-on therapy, and up-to-date rehab strategies to help you recover quickly and safely. We focus on restoring strength, mobility, flexibility, and proper muscle coordination—so you can move confidently and prevent it from happening again.

  • We understand the importance of addressing nerve issues such as sciatica and carpal tunnel syndrome, quickly - we understand your pain. Our physio's incorporate movement, manual therapy, glides, and education to improve nerve function, movement patterns and prevent further nerve compression or irritation. By staying at the forefront of emerging treatments and techniques, we help our clients achieve optimal nerve health and pain reduction.

  • That first step in the morning shouldn’t hurt. Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain—and one we treat often. At By Design Physio, we assess the root causes, whether it’s poor foot mechanics, calf tightness, or load errors. Treatment includes hands-on therapy, progressive loading, and mobility work to relieve pain and improve tissue resilience. We also guide you on footwear, activity modification, and daily habits to keep you moving pain-free.

  • Whether it’s a rolled ankle, a twisted knee, or a strained wrist, ligament injuries need more than just rest. At By Design Physio, we guide you through a structured rehab process to restore joint stability, rebuild strength, and reduce the risk of re-injury. Using hands-on treatment, progressive loading, and movement retraining, we help you return to sport or daily life with confidence. We also assess the surrounding joints and muscles to ensure the whole chain is functioning well—not just the injured area.

  • Physiotherapy is integral to stellar surgical outcomes. We work with you to prepare for surgery; building strength and resilience, while prepping you for the event. We support your recovery through regaining full range of movement, rebuilding strength, capacity & confidence, and reducing associated pain. By providing detailed education and personalised programs, we help you to navigate your road to recovery.

  • Whether you’re an elite athlete or a weekend warrior, we understand the drive to perform—and the frustration of being sidelined by injury. At By Design Physio, we don’t just treat the injury; we bridge the gap between rehab and high performance. Our approach combines injury prevention strategies, sport-specific strength and conditioning, and tailored programming to reduce your risk of future issues. If you’re injured, we’ll guide you through a structured rehab plan that restores function, builds resilience, and gets you back doing what you love—stronger than before.

  • Tennis elbow isn’t just for tennis players—it’s a common overuse injury caused by repetitive gripping, lifting, or computer work. At By Design Physio, we go beyond treating the symptoms. We assess your whole upper limb and how you load it, then build a tailored plan combining manual therapy, progressive strengthening, and tendon loading strategies. We’ll help you improve grip strength, reduce pain, and get back to your sport or work without flare-ups.

  • From ankle sprains to Achilles tendinopathy, foot and ankle injuries affect more than just your lower limbs—they influence your entire movement chain. That’s why we take a whole-body approach. At By Design Physio, we assess the way your hips, knees, and core contribute to how your feet land and absorb force. We provide hands-on treatment, individualised rehab, and strength-based progressions tailored to your goals—whether you’re walking pain-free or returning to sport.

  • From gripping pain at the elbow to hand weakness or wrist strain, upper limb injuries can seriously impact your work, training, and daily life. At By Design Physio, we treat conditions like tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, carpal tunnel, and repetitive strain with a focus on restoring function and reducing pain. We combine hands-on treatment with progressive loading, grip strength work, and nerve mobility techniques. We also assess how your shoulder and neck may be contributing to the issue—because the upper limb doesn’t work in isolation.

  • RSIs can sneak up gradually—causing pain, weakness, or numbness in the hands, forearms, elbows, or shoulders. Whether from typing, manual work, or repetitive movement, we take a whole-body view to identify the cause, not just the symptoms. At By Design Physio, we use hands-on therapy, movement retraining, and progressive strength work to offload irritated tissues and restore healthy movement patterns. We also help you modify your environment and routines to prevent flare-ups and keep you doing what you love.

  • Hip and knee pain are increasingly common in our active lifestyles. At Our approach focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of your pain, whether it's due to poor posture, muscle imbalances, or an underlying injury in the muscle, joint, or nerve. We provide personalised, effective exercises, manual therapy to alleviate pain, and education on proper posture and movement patterns. Our goal is to help you regain control over your pain, reduce avoidance and compensation behaviors, and prevent future issues by addressing the underlying causes.

  • Recovering from a workplace injury requires more than just rest—it requires a plan. At By Design Physio, we specialise in helping you return to work safely and confidently. Our team combines hands-on treatment with progressive rehab that builds strength, mobility, and resilience. With access to advanced strength testing and outcome tracking, we tailor your program to match the physical demands of your job and monitor your progress at every stage. Whether you’re recovering from an acute injury or managing a long-standing issue, we guide you every step of the way.

  • Often, when we have pain, we have demanded too much of our body. This pain and dysfunction we feel is our body warning us to stop before causing more damage. At By Design, we seamlessly incorporate strength trianing into our treatment approach to build your body's capacity to do more, so your pain reduces and you can get back to living your best life.

    Strength training isn't about joining a gym and getting bulky, it's about gradually developing capacity in the things you want to do, so you can keep doing it! Forever.

  • Fractures are more than just bone injuries—they affect strength, mobility, and confidence long after the cast comes off. At By Design Physio, we support your recovery every step of the way. From early mobility and swelling management to restoring full strength and function, we tailor your rehab to your injury, lifestyle, and goals. With a focus on joint mobility, muscle balance, and whole-body integration, we help you return safely to work, sport, and life—stronger than before.
