Physiotherapists help you get the most out of life. They help you recover from injury, reduce pain and stiffness, increase mobility and prevent further injury. They listen to your needs to tailor a treatment specific to your condition. As first contact practitioners, you don’t need a doctor's referral to see a physiotherapist. Physiotherapists, doctors, and other health professionals will often work as part of a team to plan and manage treatment for a specific condition.

Testing Question one
Multiple sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a life-long neurological condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks tissues in the brain, spinal cord and optic nerve. MS is an incurable, unpredictable, and a commonly progressive, life-long neurological condition. MS affects approximately 26,000 people in Australia, and 2.8M people around the world. Neurological physiotherapists are a vital part of health management for people living with MS and are trained in central nervous system conditions.
Aged care
There are more physiotherapists working in residential aged care than any other allied health profession. Twenty one percent, or 2,874 of over 13,600 allied health workers in aged care, are physiotherapists.
Physiotherapists work with residents to maintain and improve mobility, reduce the risk of falls, address pain and provide treatment and rehabilitation services.
Falls prevention programs run by physiotherapists have been found to reduce the number of falls in aged care residents by 55%, including those living with dementia.
Endometriosis
Endometriosis affects more than 1 in 10 Australian women and is a highly individualised disease. The Australian Government first released a National Action Plan for endometriosis in 2018, which means most of the funded research in this area is quite recent. There are still many studies to be done to truly understand the causes, management and long-term implications. What we know to date is that a multi-disciplinary approach is paramount for optimal outcomes in treating pelvic pain and other symptoms associated with endometriosis.
