Services

Physio

All of our physios are highly experienced and all trained out of the University of Sydney. They are all involved with sports coverage on the weekends with football clubs and are really passionate about their jobs and helping people get back to their pre-injury state. We dont use machines here at Sports Physio Norwest. All treatments will involve hands-on therapy plus a combination of dry needling, stretching and strength/ resistance rehabilitation.

Casting

All the physios are trained in upper and lower limb casting. We do waterproof casting, but if required can use the ‘softban’ underwrap for diabetic patients or patients that need a softer cast. These are not waterproof. We can also remove your cast if needed.

Splints

We also are trained in thermoplastic splinting. These are usually upper limb patients with hand/wrist or finger complaints. Please ring to discuss if you need a splint.

Braces

Sports Physio Norwest supply a large range of braces and supports for the entire body. Everything from ASO ankle braces, to posture support braces right through to dynamic shoulder stabilisation braces and even TLSO back braces post lumbar fracture or injury. Many of these braces can be purchased through our ‘Products’ area on the website. Please ring to ask if you need something specific as we can order it in for you.

Reviews

“Really happy with the results.
I injured my mid-lower back to the point that I was really concerned with pain and discomfort and unable to workout in the gym.
Heather identified my issue and within a couple of weeks, thanks to the treatment and the stretching/exercises prescribed, I got back into lifting and my back feels so much better!
The environment is nice and friendly and as a client you feel comfortable as soon as you step into the studio.
Thanks guys”
