Physiotherapy
Fewer treatments. Better results.
Unlike some other physiotherapy clinics, we don’t want to see you for endless appointments. It is our goal to have as few sessions with you as possible, while still delivering results.
When you visit Function PCP, one of our expert physiotherapists will conduct a thorough discussion and examination to diagnose the cause of your injury before working with you to resolve it. Your treatment will fast-track your recovery and minimise the number of sessions required.

Dry Needling & Acupuncture
What is Dry Needling?
Dry Needling is a treatment technique whereby a sterile, single-use, fine filament needle (acupuncture needle) is inserted into the muscle to assist with decreasing pain and improving function through the release of myofascial trigger points (knots in the muscle).
How can this help you?
Every patient is unique, and everyone needs their own treatment plan. Here we can use dry needling as a modality that can allow muscle releases, blood circulation, muscle activation, and increased lymphatic drainage. We use dry needling as part of the treatment, meaning that everyone still needs an assessment and a treatment plan.
Functional Movement Assessments
What is a Functional Movement Screening?
Injuries can never be fully predicted. You can never tell when or how someone will get injured. It can, however, be anticipated. Functional Movement Screening (FMS) is a very helpful tool in determining how prone an individual is to injury.
It locates weaknesses by identifying imbalances and asymmetries in movement patterns and uses that to single out where the weaknesses lie.
Once that’s identified, our clients can strengthen these areas, drastically reducing the risk of injury in them, making them proactive in injury prevention instead of reactive to injury.
How will it benefit me?
Combined with physiotherapeutic intervention, it’s the perfect package for proactive injury prevention and muscle healing, strengthening and recovery.
So not only can you reduce the risk of injury, with physical therapy the programme focuses on healing the injuries that have already occurred.
Return to sport screening & analysis
Even the most athletic person in the room may not feel 100% in their movements.
Our goal for our patients is to be able to perform daily activities and even participate in sports without pain and discomfort limiting their freedom of movement.
At Function PCP we let science speak. Our 3 different sports screenings provide a detailed report of the impairments and dysfunctions to ease you into rehabilitation, strength and stability programs that you suit your unique body.
Women’s Health Physiotherapy
What is Women’s Health Physio?
Women's Health Physios have an in-depth understanding of the female anatomy and how to help women through the different life stages:
to help with exercising during pregnancy or returning to exercise after pregnancy
if you are suffering from bladder or bowel incontinence regardless of age
if you are suffering from lower back or pelvic pain during pregnancy
What are the Treatments?
Using an ultrasound machine we can help retrain your pelvic floor muscles post-partum with real-time feedback. This then helps us form an exercise program that can be completed at home or in conjunction with our clinical Pilates programs. We may use some equipment such as taping, belts, compression tights, pessaries or therabands to help with our rehabilitation.
