Physiotherapy services for Blackburn patients

​

Blackburn patients most often come to us with sports injuries, back and neck pain, joint problems, rehabilitation after surgery and women's health concerns. Each service has its own page with the detail:

If you know where the problem is, start with back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, hip pain, knee pain, ankle pain or heel pain, or read about sporting injuries and osteoarthritis.

​

Every first appointment begins with a thorough assessment to find the cause of the pain. Your physio then talks you through the treatment options. Most plans combine hands-on treatment with exercise prescription built around your health goals, so you keep building strength and moving well between visits. Once the pain settles, the program shifts to injury prevention.

Why Blackburn patients choose Eastside Physio + Co

Eastside Physio + Co opened in 2017 and has treated more than 6,300 patients since. The team of seven physiotherapists works across musculoskeletal injuries and pelvic health conditions, helping patients with everything from muscle aches to recovery after surgery. Treatment follows current evidence rather than habit. Your physio will tell you what they think is going on and how long recovery is likely to take. The exercises you are given each have a reason behind them. Your plan is measured against the thing you want to get back to, such as running, sport or a full day at work.

​

If an injury has not settled on its own, book a time and we will start with an assessment.
