We are using video technology available through our Practice software to easily & safely connect with you via your device, in the comfort of your own home. We are uniquely placed as MDT (McKenzie) Physios to take a full history, assess and treat your issues remotely. If you have an injury or a niggle that you would usually ...present to our clinic with, we can address it via Telehealth! We are offering a 10% discount for Telehealth consultations.

23.01.2022 Showcasing our latest orthotic Thongs called Archies. Designed by a Physio, they provide a great summer alternative for those needing orthotics. They offer good arch support in either a standard or high arch setting. Great for those suffering from Plantar fasciitis or fasciopathy, often characterised by heel pain on walking first thing in the morning. Prize of a free pair for the best comment /reason why you need a pair! Merry Christmas from all the Staff at North Parramatta Physiotherapy. Thank you for all your support this year. We will only be closed over the Public Holidays.

22.01.2022 We had the pleasure of hosting the MDT study night last week, and enjoyed catching up with like minded Physios to share case studies. Always something new to learn!

22.01.2022 Next up: Jonathan! Jon joined our team at the beginning of the year & is a great all-rounder with a special passion for ankle and knee rehab. Have a watch to see why Jon became a Physio, and some fun facts about him!

20.01.2022 Pregnancy related back pain is something that we see regularly in our practice. It occurs in 20% of pregnant women, and can make everyday tasks such as getting out of a chair, rolling over in bed or just walking really painful. In the past the advice was just to "put up with it!" The good news is that now we understand the causes ( a combination of hormones and weak gluteal or butt muscles), we can treat it much more effectively. We often use braces like the one pictured belo...w to support the pelvis while we build up the weak muscles. Once the pain has settled, Clinical Pilates can really help to continue strengthening and get fit for delivery. We love treating those with Pelvic Girdle Pain of Pregnancy (PGPP),and seeing the beautiful babies when they come back for a six week check after birth. If you or anyone you know is suffering with pain, mention this ad for 10% of the initial consultation. See more

20.01.2022 All our Physio's are now wearing masks during treatment and classes to ensure your safety.

20.01.2022 Pilates Update at North Parramatta Physio As you may have seen already, there will be some upcoming changes to rebates with Pilates as of April 1st. Currently our program meets the requirements of Group Physiotherapy exercise sessions for rebates by PH funds by including: 1. An initial assessment for every client 2. An individualised program tailored to client oriented goals ... 3. Reassessment at each session 4. Clinical notes recorded What does that mean for me? From the 1st of April, our exercises classes will be known as Functional Physiotherapy 60 (FP60) to better reflect our intention of providing movement based treatment. We do not anticipate any issues with claiming rebates for your classes and our receipting will be changed to reflect this. Has it been a while since youve attended a class? For a limited time we will be offering a free individualised review of your previous program on us. Please call the practice on 9890 2444 or email [email protected] to schedule your 1:1 review.

05.01.2022 Return to Activity testing for low back pain! Are you recovering from back pain but not sure how ready you are to return to sport when it starts? This testing may be for you! We are back to having our Inservices in the clinic and we all trialed the Return to activity testing protocol this morning! ... We would use these tests for clients who are out of pain after a low back injury and looking to return to sport, high impact exercises and heavy manual work. It helps us assess their confidence & readiness to return. There are 4 levels of tests, and we are measuring performance variables such as symmetry between sides and repetitions in a specific time frame, depending on each test. A couple of examples are shown here, with the team challenging themselves in: - Sustained side plank on step - Loaded reach - Flexion / rotations around to wall in 30 seconds Do you think you could hold a side plank for >20 sec each side? Some videos to come! #physio #physiotherapy #lowbackpain #mdt #returntosport #returntoplay #northparramatta
