ver wondered when it’s time to book in with a physio? You don’t have to be an athlete or recovering from surgery to benefit from physiotherapy. Whether it’s managing pain, improving mobility, or sorting out an old injury, physios are there to help you get back to feeling your best.

At The Physio House Townsville, we work with people from all walks of life, and in some cases, it’s easy to put off making that appointment. But here’s a little guide on when you should definitely think about coming in to see us.

1. Pain That Won’t Go Away

Got a sore back, neck, or any other body part that just won’t settle down? If you’ve been battling with pain for a while, and over-the-counter painkillers or stretches aren’t doing the trick, it’s time to see a physio. Persistent pain, especially when it affects your ability to do daily activities, is a sure sign that you could benefit from some professional care.

2. Sports Injuries

Whether you’re into CrossFit, footy, or just weekend jogs, injuries can happen. Sprains, strains, or muscle tightness – a physio can help you recover quicker and give you the tools to prevent future injuries. At The Physio House, we’re lucky to have access to a full gym, so we can work with you on rehab exercises that target your specific needs.

3. Feeling Stiff or Tight

If you’re feeling stiff or tight, especially first thing in the morning or after sitting for long periods, this could be a sign that your muscles or joints need some attention. We often see people who say, “I’m just getting older,” but physio can help improve flexibility and reduce that stiff feeling, no matter your age.

4. Recovering from Surgery

Post-surgery rehab is vital to getting back on your feet. Whether it’s after a knee replacement, spinal surgery, or anything in between, physiotherapy helps you regain strength, mobility, and confidence. We’ll work with you to create a plan that suits your recovery stage and goals.

5. Chronic Conditions

If you’ve got a long-term condition like arthritis, scoliosis, or even dizziness and balance issues, physio can be a game-changer. We’ll help manage your symptoms and get you moving better, with a focus on improving your day-to-day life.

6. Women’s Health

Our women’s health physio, Kiara, is specially trained to support women at various stages of life, from pregnancy to menopause. If you’re dealing with pelvic pain, incontinence, or postnatal recovery, we’ve got you covered.

7. You Want to Get Stronger

You don’t have to be injured to see a physio! Many people come to us because they want to improve their strength, posture, or movement patterns. Whether it’s to lift better at the gym or just feel stronger in everyday activities, we can design a program that works for you.
