Conditions We Treat at Kardinya Physiotherapy

At Kardinya Physiotherapy, our experienced physiotherapists provide expert treatment for a wide range of conditions. Whether you’re recovering from a sports injury, managing chronic pain, or seeking help after surgery, our team will create a personalised treatment plan to help you move better, recover faster, and prevent future problems.

Below are some of the most common conditions we treat.

Sports & Joint Injuries

• AC Joint Injuries – Pain or deformity at the top of the shoulder can result from injury to the acromioclavicular (AC) joint. Supportive taping, rehabilitation, and strengthening are key to restoring shoulder stability and preventing long-term issues.
• Ankle Sprains & Instability – One of the most common sports injuries. Without proper rehab, ankle sprains can lead to chronic instability. Physiotherapy helps restore movement, strength, and balance.
• Knee Injuries (ACL, MCL, Meniscus tears, Patellofemoral pain) – Whether from sport or everyday activity, knee injuries require targeted treatment to reduce pain and prevent recurrence.
• Hip & Groin Pain – Often caused by muscle imbalances, overuse, or labral injuries. We provide hands-on therapy, exercise programs, and strength training for optimal recovery.
• Shoulder Injuries (Rotator Cuff Tears, Bursitis, Impingement) – Common in athletes and tradespeople. Physiotherapy can restore mobility, reduce pain, and prevent surgery in many cases.

Tendon & Soft Tissue Conditions

• Achilles Tendinopathy – Pain at the back of the heel, especially in runners. Our physiotherapists provide structured loading programs, shockwave therapy, and hands-on treatment for long-term relief.
• Plantar Fasciitis / Heel Pain – A very common foot condition that responds well to physiotherapy, orthotics, and exercise-based rehab.
• Tennis Elbow / Golfer’s Elbow – Elbow pain from overuse or repetitive strain. We use dry needling, manual therapy, and strengthening to speed recovery.
• Hamstring Strains – A frequent sports injury that needs guided rehabilitation to avoid re-injury.

Spinal & Postural Conditions

• Back Pain & Sciatica – 80% of people experience back pain in their lifetime. We treat acute and chronic back pain, sciatica, and disc injuries with manual therapy, exercise rehab, and education.
• Neck Pain & Whiplash – Whether from poor posture, stress, or motor vehicle accidents, our team can reduce pain, improve mobility, and prevent recurrence.
• Postural Issues – Poor posture can cause headaches, neck pain, and shoulder dysfunction. We provide ergonomic advice, exercise retraining, and hands-on therapy.
• Ankylosing Spondylitis & Other Spinal Conditions – Physiotherapy helps maintain mobility, reduce stiffness, and support long-term spinal health.

Chronic & Degenerative Conditions

• Arthritis (Osteoarthritis & Rheumatoid Arthritis) – Physiotherapy helps reduce pain, improve strength, and keep you active.
• Fibromyalgia & Chronic Pain Syndromes – We provide supportive care to help manage pain, movement, and function.
• Osteoporosis – Exercise-based physiotherapy helps improve bone health and reduce falls risk.

We’ll guide you safely back to function with structured rehab programs.
