Staying active in the garden and on the trails
Eltham life is often busy and outdoors – gardening, bushwalking, cycling and looking after a home on a sloping block. Reasons people commonly book physiotherapy include:
- Lower back pain after gardening or lifting – see lower back pain Eltham
- Knee and hip pain on hills and stairs
- Shoulder pain from pruning and overhead work
- Balance and strength programs to stay steady on uneven ground
- Arthritis management to keep moving comfortably
The aim is simple: keep you doing what you love with less pain.
Your first visit
Your physiotherapist will ask about your problem, your health and your goals, assess how you move, then explain what is going on and start a plan – usually with exercises you can begin straight away. More on our physiotherapy in Lower Plenty page.
