Modern Physiotherapy Clinic is your best destination for the most reliable and effective physiotherapy treatments.
Physiotherapy
According to WHO, physiotherapists assess, plan and implementrehabilitative programs that improve or restore human motor functions, maximise movement ability, relieve pain syndromes, and treat or prevent physical challenges associated with injuries, diseases and other impairments.
At Modern Physiotherapy Clinic, we apply a broad range of techniques such as Tecar therapy, shockwave therapy, laser therapy, exercise, movement, ultrasound, electrotherapy, dry needling, taping and other techniques. We develop and implement personalised programmes for screening and prevention of common physical ailments and disorders.
- Say goodbye to pain!
- Personalised approach
- Prevent future injury
Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation is defined as “a set of interventions designed to optimise functioning and reduce disability in individuals with health conditions in interaction with their environment”.
At Modern Physiotherapy Clinic, rehabilitation is highly person-centered, meaning that the interventions and approach selected for each individual depends on their goals and preferences.
- Understand your condition
- Improve quality of life
- Increase your mobility exercise tolerance
TECAR Therapy
Modern Physiotherapy Clinic are pioneers in application of TECAR therapy in the state of Victoria. TECAR therapy is a form of combined contact diathermy and electrotherapy. It is a medical practice that applies electromagnetic energy to biological tissue.
Patients appreciate TECAR therapy for the pleasant sensation of warmth. Unlike other therapies or conventional, fixed frequency TECAR therapy, Gymna Care 300 stands out in the number of pathologies that are treatable, even in the acute phase.
The beneficial effects of TECAR therapy are mostly used in physitherapy, rehabilitation and pain management: • Bruises and sprains• Post-surgery rehabilitation• Sports traumas• Muscle and tendon disorders• Neuropathies• Scar tissue• Spine and peripheral joint disorders• Vascular and lymphatic system disorders• Orthopaedic disorders of the peripheral nervous system• Pelvic floor rehabilitation• Acute and chronic pain

Shockwave Therapy
Radial shockwave therapy is an established and recognized form of treatment and the perfect treatment method for all chronic and complex musculoskeletal conditions.
The shockwave propagates in the tissues radially, enabling treatment of both surface-located diseases and pathological processes located in deeper tissues.
The shockwave propagates in the tissues radially, enabling treatment of both surface-located diseases and pathological processes located in deeper tissues.
Effects of radial shockwave therapy: • Pain reduction by production of substance P and the hyper stimulation of pain sensors
• Regeneration of affected tissue via: - Improved blood perfusion and new vascularization - Increases in growth factors - Increases in mesenchymal stem cells- Stimulation of the metabolism
• Mechanical effects: - Disintegration of calcifications of calcifications and fibroses
The beneficial effects of shockwave therapy are mostly used in:• Chronic tendinopathies and enthesopathies such as Epicondylosis, plantar fasciitis, tennis / golfer’s elbow, rotator cuff tendinopathy (with calcification), calcaneal spur, Inflammation and achilles tendon pain, trochanteric bursitis, etc.
• Myofascial pain syndrome: Low back pain, neck pain, ‘trigger points’, tension headaches, etc.

GAIT Scan
The MobileMat® products consist of Tekscan’s validated, pressure measurement platforms that made Tekscan a world leader in foot mat systems. The MobileMat gives the clinicians the ability to measure both static and dynamic foot function, great for determining balance and pressure discrepancy due to a pathology. The MobileMat assessment is provided as part of your biomechanical & gait assessment.
Being equiped with SAM™ (Sway Analysis Module) makes it an ideal tool to analyze sway and assess postural stability by detecting and measuring key stability parameters such as center of force(CoF) motion, left/right foot weight distribution and front-to-back weight distribution. Sway analysis can help to uncover any underlying dysfunctions such as musculoskeletal and neurological problems.
- Capture and evaluate static and dynamic foot function
- Assess postural stability
- Help to uncover any underlying dysfunctions such as musculoskeletal and neurological problems.
Clinical Pilates
Clinical Pilates is an evidence based approach in managing the chronic and recurrent injury problems. It involves a personalised exercise program for the rehabilitation and prevention of musculoskeletal injuries using reformer equipment as well as floor-based routines. Clinical Pilates has a focus on core strength and stability, designed to target postural muscles supporting the spine and joints.
Prior to participating in a class, you will be thoroughly assessed by an experienced physiotherapist with extensive training and knowledge of the human body to ensure that all your exercises are tailored to your specific needs.

ONERO
The award winning evidence-based exercise programme for osteoporosis.Onero™, supervised, bone-targeted high intensity resistance and impact training is safe and reduces risk for osteoporotic fracture in postmenopausal women with low to very low bone mass. Onero™ training includes exercises to help prevent falls and thereby reduce osteoporotic fractures.
The safety of the Onero™ depends on clinical decision-making skills to diagnose co-morbidities and adapt the program in its initial stages in order to be able to participate without risk of injury or exacerbation of existing conditions. As such, close supervision of the participants by appropriately trained allied health professionals is necessary.
- Reduce risk of osteoporotic fracture
- Training to help prevent falls
- Prevent future injury
Sports-Injuries
Sports injuries are commonly caused by overuse, direct impact, or the application of force that is greater than the body part can structurally withstand.
Common injuries include bruises, sprains, strains, joint injuries and nose bleeds. Medical investigation is important, as leaving an injury untreated can have far more severe onsequences.
At Modern Physiotherapy Clinic, our focus is rehabilitation is highly on Injury prevention strategies, however, once the injury occured, physiotherapy can help to rehabilitate the injured site and, depending on the injury, may include exercises to promote strength and flexibility.
- Injury prevention strategies
- Load management education
- Biomechanical analysis

Dry needling
Dry needling involves the use of acupuncture type needles being introduced into trigger points in muscles to stimulate a ‘twitch’ response resulting in ‘release or relaxation’ of the trigger point.
The basis of the technique is to restore normal muscle function and is to be used in conjunction with an exercise program and/or other techniques which are also targeted at improving biomechanical impairments leading to muscle dysfunction and myofascial trigger point formation.

Dry needling alone cannot resolve muscle dysfunction but it certainly assists in healing and our physiotherapists use it to compliment other physiotherapy techniques to resolve musculoskeletal injuries.
Dry needling is being used to assist healing for a wide range of conditions such as:
