Physiotherapy

Our physiotherapists provide evidence-based clinical management of injuries and movement conditions.

Balance North physiotherapy may involve the combination of hands-on therapy, exercise and education to help clients overcome injuries.

Exercise assessment and prescription can help guide you to prevent injuries or enhance sport performance. We work with a wide range of clients from different age groups and activity levels.

Physiotherapy for Group Exercise (Heal)

Our ‘Heal’ classes are a small exercise class (maximum 4 people) led by one of our experienced physiotherapists. Each participant is completing their own individualised exercise program for the class. Exercise selection will be completed in an evidence-based manner, using a combination of clinical Pilates, strength & conditioning, mobility and balance exercises. At the beginning of each session, the physiotherapist will check in on how you are feeling that day and will tailor the class to your needs. The goal of each class is to address any assessment findings in a safe and challenging manner. The class duration is 45 minutes and a physiotherapist will be present at all times during the class.

Vestibular Physiotherapy

Vestibular physiotherapy is a specialised field within physiotherapy focused on diagnosing and managing symptoms related to the vestibular system, such as balance, dizziness and vertigo.

Your physiotherapist will begin with a thorough assessment of your symptoms, which may include performing specific tests. Based on this evaluation, they can often diagnose your condition and develop a tailored treatment plan.

In some cases, your physiotherapist may refer you to a neurologist for additional evaluations, which might involve hearing tests, brain MRI scans, blood tests, and further balance function assessments.

Vestibular physiotherapy typically includes exercises aimed at:

  • Inducing mild dizziness to help your vestibular system adapt and accept the sensation (habituation exercises).
  • Enhancing coordination between your eyes and head.
  • Strengthening and challenging your vestibular balance system while walking.

Your physiotherapist might also employ techniques such as the Epley maneuver to alleviate vertigo symptoms.
