Fractures
To fracture or break a bone is a common injury throughout childhood and adult life, yet most of these fractures heal without problems. The rate of fracture increases with age and is greater in women than in men. The majority of fractures will be treated with a cast, splint or minimal intervention to immobilise (keep the fracture still) the fracture for comfort and to protect it while it heals. A smaller number may require a procedure to put the broken bone into the correct position so it heals correctly.

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.

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.
