A physio practice dedicated to understanding your problem and helping you get painfree fast. What makes Adelaide West Physio and Pilates different?
You will notice the difference as soon as you walk in the door. You will feel like you have been listened to - we spend more face to face time with you so that we can fully understand your problem. You have our undivided attention for the whole appointment time. We don’t put you on a machine and treat someone else at the same time. We have expertise that set us apart:
• headache and migraine solutions
• low back pain
• persistent pain
• sports physiotherapy
• running performance and running injuries
• credentialled McKenzie therapists who use the McKenzie method
We are fully committed to helping you get better quicker - it is more than just a job. Our passion is helping, that is why we chose to become physiotherapists and massage therapists. You will know exactly what is going on - we provide you with a clear plan of attack and an estimate of the number of treatment sessions required to get you better. You can feel reassured that we know our stuff - we spend time and money on continuing professional development and higher qualifications. We are committed to using scientific evidence to inform our treatment so you get better quicker and you get the best bang for your buck. Adelaide West is an independent physiotherapy clinic, not part of a franchise. That means we have autonomy in how we do things, which means that we can be more responsive to our patients so we can help you the best we can. You will enjoy using our fully-equipped and supervised Pilates studio - it doesn’t matter if you are completely new to Pilates, we give all the help that you need to make sure that you get the best out of it. If you suffer from headaches, we have a dedicated headache service - Adelaide West Headache Clinic - for more information, see www.adelaidewestphysio.com.au/headache-clinic or the Adelaide West Headache Clinic page. If you are looking for something to help out with tired or tight muscles, or you are an athlete looking for a pre or post game massage, you can't go past our Remedial Massage Therapists, who also work closely with the physiotherapists. All of this means that you get quicker results with less visits. On top of that, we have arguably the friendliest practice around, with the best reception staff!

If you’ve been “resting” your Achilles and it’s still cranky… this will interest you.
Most Achilles tendinopathy rehab is about the right loading, progressed over time.
Start where you can:
• isometrics or supported raises
Then build to:
• heavy, slow calf raises (hard last rep)
Then return to sport speed:
• pogo jumps, skipping, change-of-direction drills
And don’t skip the bent-knee work — soleus matters for running.

Dizzy… but your ear crystals look fine? Not all dizziness is BPPV — and it’s not always “your neck” either.
One possible cause is cervicogenic dizziness: when neck joints/muscles contribute to that off-balance / lightheaded feeling.�
Often worse with:
• turning your head
• looking up
• sitting in one position too long
The key is testing the right system first, so you’re not guessing.
If you’re unsure what’s driving it, a vestibular-trained physio can screen for BPPV, migraine-related dizziness and other causes — and treat what’s actually relevant.

So weird! Picked up in the afternoon by some dudes in a Mercedes SUV - and the dog. Half an hour of working under the bonnet and they were gone!
I can’t thank everyone enough for sharing this and following the ridiculous saga. I am certain that it had something to do with it being picked up. It even made it onto ABC 891 thanks to you guys!
Muchas gracias!

First the Astra begat a bed. Then overnight, the bed was dismantled and turfed into the carpark! What is going on? Did they think there was copper piping in the bed? Who are these people 🙄

Great news! The Astra has gone! Thanks so much to everyone who shared the post last week, it was much appreciated.
And no, we didn't push it out onto the street. It was picked up yesterday by some guys in a Mercedes SUV. They worked under the bonnet for a bit, got it going then shot off pretty quickly.
Unfortunately, it has been replaced by a lovely bed and mattress. At least that's on the council strip, so the council should help out with that at least 🤣

If star jumps (or running/jumping) make you nervous because you might leak, you’re not the only one.�
It’s common — but it’s also treatable, and you don’t have to give up the exercise you enjoy.
If you’re not sure where to start, a women’s health physio can assess what’s driving it and guide the right plan — without guesswork.

👨🏻 A nice gift from Movember for our contributions this year. These socks don't belong to me, they belong to everyone who has donated. So if you'd like to borrow the socks, let me know.

UPDATE: THE CAR HAS GONE!!!!
Do you recognise this car? 🚗
It was left in our car park on Friday night (30th Jan). It is unregistered. All windows are open, has sustained damage (missing passenger side mirror) & has a screw driver on the drivers seat.
SAPOL and the council can’t do anything as it is considered to be on private property. Legally, we have to advertise the car hoping the owner might come forward & wait 42 days before we can do anything else!
It is taking up a vital car park, close to the front door, that our clients use. Some have mobility issues and are at risk if they have to park down the street!
If you recognise the car or know the owner please just ask them to remove it… we would just like it gone! 🤞

Read our story and see if we sound like your kind of people!
to provide a reliable and professional service with the highest level of expertise, using the best current research, science and consensus.
to help our patients reach their maximum potential of their physical health and quality of life by establishing and working towards the patients’ own goals.
to make use of the power of education and self-management principles wherever possible.
to provide our services in a friendly, supportive and caring environment, by enthusiastic practitioners, with acknowledgement of the importance of psychological health as part of total health.
We aren’t part of a franchise – we don’t dance to the tune of a head office.
If our customers or one of our staff suggests an improvement to our practice, we can just do it!
We value our continuing education very highly – we each attend external courses throughout the year and we invest in our physios to do so. Plus we hold two sessions of one hour of continuing education each week.
In other words, that’s two hours each week to improve the outcomes for our customers and clients.
The end result? Our customers get results faster and save money and time.
You should feel really welcome to give feedback – good or bad, feedback is the only way that we know how we are doing as a clinic.
We always want to know how we can improve.
Some of our services are quite special – there aren’t many practices in Adelaide with:
- a Headache and Migraine clinic and a Watson Headache Certified Practitioner
- Credentialed McKenzie Method therapists and a focus on the well-researched McKenzie Method
- our knowledge and passion for pain biology and novel approaches to persistent pain
- involvement in studies with UniSA and Return To Work SA
- physios with an in-depth understanding of strength and conditioning
- regular GLA:D exercise classes for knee and hip osteoarthritis management
You can be sure that we are using the best evidence to back up our treatment methods – you won’t find us using outdated concepts, unnecessary or ineffective electrotherapy, or any ‘pseudoscience’ like many sadly do in health.
It means getting your results faster instead of stuck in wasteful and expensive treatment cycles.
We take the time – our appointments are purposely scheduled to give you the time that you need to explain your problem and so that we can really listen. You won’t feel bundled out of the door with a bunch of unanswered questions. You will have our undivided attention for your whole appointment.
We want you to understand your problem. You need to understand it to get the best results.
We make an effort to stay in touch – we want to make sure that you get exactly the outcome that you are looking for.
We follow up with all our clients because we aren’t satisfied until you are.
We offer 5 guarantees on your visits - there aren’t many places that offer guarantees in health care! You can read more about them here.
This is a sign of how much we believe in our therapists and front desk staff.
You will know exactly what is going on - if you have something wrong, there is nothing quite like having a clear explanation of what is wrong, a plan of attack of how you are going to get better and an estimate of your recovery time.
We provide you with a clear plan of attack and an estimate of the number of treatment sessions required to get you better
