At CBD Wellness Centre we are dedicated to providing Perth City with expert standards of Physiotherapy treatment. Our physiotherapists are experienced in treating a wide range of spinal and peripheral conditions to reduce pain fast.

Physiotherapy or Physical Therapy, is a healthcare profession dedicated to the assessment, maintenance, and restoration of the physical function and performance of the body. We are a first-contact profession so you DO NOT require a referral from your doctor to access our services. Physiotherapy is a distinct form of care that can be performed either in isolation or in combination with other types of medical management. Used in conjunction with certain medical or surgical techniques, physiotherapy can complement these modalities to help provide a speedy and complication-free return to normal activity.

Physiotherapy is useful in the diagnosis and management of a wide range of injuries, disease processes, and other conditions, including:

• Sports injuries
• Back and neck pain
• Pain or injury to the extremities
• Postural problems
• Occupational and motor vehicle accident injuries
• Arthritis
• Post-surgical rehabilitation
• Spinal cord injuries
• Pre and post-natal dysfunctions

CBD Wellness Centre offers a diverse range of physiotherapy treatments and services. We practice a range of proven techniques, with a focus on rehabilitation and education, to help kick-start your recovery in the shortest amount of time possible. Our key treatment methods include:

THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE AND MUSCULAR RELEASE – This includes soft tissue, deep tissue, friction, and myofascial massage, to assist in pain relief and improved mobility.

JOINT MOBILISATION AND MANIPULATION – The passive movement of a joint to restore full function and range of motion

HEAT THERAPY – Heat improves flexibility, removes toxins from cells, and relaxes muscles to help relieve pain.

CRYOTHERAPY – Cold therapy reduces inflammation and pain and is best applied within the first 48 hours following an injury.

ULTRASOUND – Ultrasound is the passing of high-frequency sound waves through muscle tissues and fibers. Ultrasound is commonly used to reduce nerve irritation, improve blood flow, break up scar tissue, ease muscle spasms, and increase mobility.

DRY NEEDLING – Dry needling differs greatly from the acupuncture methods of the Far East. It is used to produce localized healing and to reduce injury pain associated with swollen or stiff joints, postural dysfunctions, muscle flexibility limitations and imbalances, and strength deficiencies.

TAPING AND BRACING – We also use taping and bracing techniques to restrict or guide movement, helping you to continue your activity whilst reducing the risk of further injury.

EXERCISE PRESCRIPTION – Our treatment methods include a wide variety of prescribed exercise programs, including:

• Therapeutic exercise
• Flexibility and stretching techniques
• Strength and conditioning exercises
• Postural correction exercises
• Pilates based exercises
• Cardiovascular and rehabilitation exercises

All of our therapists have experience in human movement, exercise physiology, and strength and conditioning, as such in addition to our physiotherapy services we also provide:
