Welcome to Arana Hills Physiotherapy. We aim to work with you to discover the reasons for your pain and discomfort and work together through various means including manual therapy and exercise prescription to provide treatment and rehabilitation solutions.

Our aim is to find long lasting, simple solutions and give you the tools to tackle your problems effectively.

Our treatment philosophy involves manual therapy, education and exercise.

We treat many musculoskeletal issues, including:

• Neck pain

• Back pain

• Balance issues

• Hip and lower back pain

• Shoulder or knee pain

• Sports injuries

• Work injuries

On your initial visit we aim to identify what your condition is, why it is happening and the impact it is having on you. This takes the form of a discussion followed by watching you move and testing the affected area to work out a diagnosis that makes sense. The assessment then allows us to plan an effective treatment and rehabilitation solution for you based on the best current evidence. It is very important that you play an active role in your treatment and that you feel you are in control of your problem. Please feel free to ask about any aspect of your condition or treatment, it’s good to keep us on our toes.

We now offer Shockwave Therapy, this is a non-invasive option to consider before surgery or painful injections. Shockwave is an acoustic wave which carries high energy to painful spots and musculoskeletal tissues. The energy promotes regeneration and reparative processes of the bones, tendons and other soft tissues. Shockwave is administered by our Physios giving our patients the best possible results and private health rebates.

Our philosophy of treatment has always been based around exercise, manual therapy and education. Shockwave Therapy is an adjunct to our core physiotherapy service. After many months of trialling and research we see a valid need for this therapy and wanted to bring it to our patients and those people in the greater Brisbane north area.

Shockwave therapy or ESWT as it is often referred to, has been shown to be beneficial in the treatment of soft tissue disorders (of greater than 6 weeks duration) as well as some osteoarthritic conditions.

It is a non-invasive treatment that can provide effective pain relief and unlike injection therapy positively promotes the healing response in the affected area. It can prove to be an effective alternative to injection therapy and in some cases surgery in helping with pain relief and return to normal function.

Some researchers have described its properties as mechanisms of action 'as kick starting a stalled healing process'.

Conveniently located near to shops and cafes, with onsite parking, we are open Monday to Friday 7:30am till 7pm. We are ideally located for residents of Arana Hills, and surrounding suburbs such as Everton Hills, Mitchelton, Keperra and Ferny Hills.
