Janine Physiotherapist Meadowridge Services

Movewell Physiotherapy offers a wide range of services to improve movement, relieve pain, and restore function. Each treatment takes a holistic approach and suits the patient’s specific needs. The aim is to support long-term results.

Movement Control and Dysfunction Assessment

Janine provides an in-depth assessment of movement patterns to find dysfunction or restrictions. She focuses on the root causes of pain and movement limits. She also provides a clear and thorough diagnosis to guide the treatment plan.

Hands-on Treatment and Rehabilitation

Movewell Physiotherapy uses hands-on treatment to promote healing and restore function. Treatment options include:

• Soft Tissue Treatment and Myofascial Release: Helps ease muscle tension and reduce pain.
• Joint Mobilisations: Improves joint movement and reduces stiffness.
• Neural Mobilisations: Treats nerve-related pain and dysfunction.
• Strapping and Kinesio Taping: Supports injured areas and helps prevent further strain.
• Dry Needling: Helps relax muscles and treat trigger points.

Rehabilitation also includes post-operative care after total hip or knee replacements, spinal surgeries, and shoulder procedures. Janine creates tailored plans to support recovery and a return to daily activities. Home exercise programs also help reinforce treatment and support healing.

Conditions Treated

Movewell Physiotherapy treats many musculoskeletal conditions, including neck and back pain, peripheral joint pain in the shoulders, hips, knees and ankles, tendinopathies, muscle strains, tension headaches, sport-related overuse injuries, and general mobility issues. Sport-related injuries include shin splints, groin pain, and rotator cuff injuries.

Ergonomics and Your Visit

Janine also provides workstation assessments to reduce strain and help prevent injury. She gives tailored advice on workstation set-up and posture.

During your first visit, Janine assesses your movement and identifies dysfunction or pain-related issues. Please wear comfortable clothing, such as shorts, so she can clearly assess your body movements. After the assessment, she explains the findings and creates an individualised treatment plan. She also answers questions and helps you understand your condition and treatment options.
