At Core, we pride ourselves on being an industry leader in South East Queensland for the management of all things physiotherapy and exercise. Our highly experienced and accredited physiotherapists provide expert assessment and tailored treatment for a wide variety of conditions.

What is Physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy is all about promoting, restoring, and maintaining your physical function and mobility. It’s a fantastic way to address injuries, illnesses, or disabilities and improve your overall quality of life. 

Our physiotherapists are here to assess your unique needs and create personalised treatment plans just for you. Therapists have a toolbox of techniques and exercises to help alleviate pain, boost strength, enhance flexibility, and get you back to feeling your best.

As one of the leading physiotherapy clinics in South East Queensland, we employ a variety of methods to help you on your journey, including: 

• Manual (hands-on) therapy
• Self-management education
• Joint mobilisation
• Soft tissue massage
• Dry needling
• Stretches, strengthening, and stabilising exercises
• Taping for support or bracing
• Biomechanical assessment and correction
• Progressive exercise programs
• Mobility aid or brace prescription

But it’s not just about the treatments, education plays a significant role in your recovery. Your physiotherapist will empower you with knowledge and teach you how to manage your injuries, and chronic conditions, or optimise your performance in sports and daily activities.

Back and Neck Pain

Is back pain keeping you awake at night? Have you found that weekly massages, treatments, medication, acupuncture or yoga aren’t assisting with chronic back pain? Are you considering injections, procedures, or even surgery?

At Core, our Senior Physiotherapists have blended experience and expertise to develop SpinePhysio & Exercise™. This is a refined and targeted formula to improve your physical activity levels and help you overcome debilitating back pain.

Core’s SpinePhysio & Exercise™ Program starts with a comprehensive assessment. We ascertain what has not previously worked for you, where there is scope for improvement, and then implement a plan involving three key elements:

1. Customised Spine Injury Education, where we learn how to move “smarter”.
   2. Tailored Exercise Programs, which include a specific blend of aquatic, core and back strengthening, cardio-vascular, gym, and stretching exercises.
   3. Ergonomic Skills, which integrate your exercise and new movement patterns into your daily living.

PhysioKids (TM)

Physio isn’t only for adults and has incredible benefits for children and infants when required. Our affiliated paediatric physiotherapy services are available at our Spine Centre, Southport clinic on the Gold Coast.

PhysioKids focuses on assisting children to reach physical milestones during key stages of their development. Through individualised programs, children can gain the physical and cognitive skills required for learning and growth.

Physiotherapy for older children is also encouraged in the areas of fitness conditioning and exercise prescription. We also provide rehabilitation programs for children, as well as management of congenital and musculoskeletal conditions.

Through early intervention therapy and a proactive approach, physiotherapy enables our children to reach their full physical potential.

NDIS – The National Disability Insurance Scheme

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides individualised support for people with disability, their families and carers. Disability can affect anyone, and having the right support can make a world of difference.

Core Physiotherapy can help self-managed and plan-managed NDIS participants with physiotherapy and exercise physiology services. Our physiotherapists are warm, engaged, and focused on providing you and your loved ones with exceptional care. We can also provide assistance with the purchase of equipment and support where needed.

At Core, our aim is to improve your function, mobility, independence and general wellbeing. We can offer you an individual therapy program to help with range of movement, coordination, and pain relief, and we’re always happy to provide advice and education on the importance of exercise and how to incorporate it into your everyday life to maintain your health.
