Restore • Improve • Maintain • Educate
Education is not only for our clients but a core belief for all the staff at Posture Plus as well.
The clinic employs Physiotherapists from many different countries which brings a depth and breadth of experience to areas ranging from general practice to more specialised areas such as the treatment of sports injuries, post-surgery rehabilitation, neurological conditions, persistent pain, scoliosis and ante-natal and post-natal conditions to name but a few. We actively participate in clinical research by monitoring our clients’ progress using research outcome measures such as questionnaires and photo and video recording.
All our physiotherapists have advanced post-graduate qualifications and have attended numerous professional development courses over their many years in the Physiotherapy profession. We are very proud of our strong in-house continuing education programme which has spanned over the last 15 years.
This serves to not only showcase and enhance the advanced analysis and manual skills of our staff, but ultimately, it aims to improve the outcome for all our clients. Our in-service presentations over the years have ranged from case study presentations of post-surgery clients, postural dysfunctions and scoliosis, advanced manual techniques for the treatment of temporomandibular pain TMJ (jaw pain), back and neck pain as well as taping techniques.

Onero™ for Improved Bone Health
Learn more about our Bone Health Programme here.
Osteoporosis is a common condition affecting millions. It is a serious disease that causes our bones to become weak which results in a higher chance of a broken bone (or fracture) when we have a simple fall. Osteopenia is characterised by lower than normal bone density and is considered a “warning” zone that action is needed to halt the loss or even to improve bone density.
At Posture Plus, we are licensed to deliver the Onero™ Programme. Onero™ is a research-based programme designed specifically to improve bone health, prevent osteoporotic fracture, and preventing falls in at-risk individuals.
To be safe and effective the programme is supervised by our registered physiotherapists who are trained and licensed to deliver the programme. In collaboration with our clinic Bone Health Asia at Prohealth Sports And Spinal, we are the first providers of this programme in Asia. Onero™ has successfully helped improve the bone health of osteoporosis and osteopenia patients in Australia since 2015.

Sports Physiotherapy
Sports Physiotherapists have specific post-graduate qualifications as well as extensive experience treating sports specific injuries. Clients may range from the amateur weekend warrior to international professional athletes. At Prohealth Posture Plus our sports Physiotherapists have worked at multiple Olympic and Asian Games looking after a variety of disciplines with teams from Hong Kong, Great Britain as well the United States of America.
The aim of a Sports Physiotherapist is to treat and fully rehabilitate the athlete post-injury or post-surgery, to prevent further injury and to return the athlete to sport in the shortest possible time. in In order to manage recurring or chronic injuries your therapist will conduct a comprehensive assessment, use a variety of manual therapy techniques and other evidence-based practice treatments.
We recognise that education is the key to playing sport safely. Our sports Physiotherapists have made it their responsibility to educate and provide advice on exercise prescription, stretching, a gradual return to sport and equipment recommendations. This extends to all players, with a focus on educating junior levels as we believe good habits are developed in our youth!
We recognise the challenges you face juggling work, family and sporting commitments.

Soft Tissue Massage
Massage is a proven, effective treatment technique used to release tension in muscles and fascia as well as scar tissue. While our Physiotherapists may choose to use soft tissue massage as part of your treatment session, they often refer clients to our Clinical and Sports Massage therapists for more intensive soft tissue release. Our Massage therapists have specialised training, extensive experience and a level of expertise in this area which complements the Physiotherapy-based treatments.

Acupuncture & Dry Needling
Acupuncture and dry needling are treatment modalities that your Physiotherapist may choose to utilise during your session. While both dry needling and acupuncture involve the insertion of thin needles into certain parts of the body, the reasoning behind each treatment method is very different. In acupuncture, needles are inserted into points along meridian lines. These lines represent the organs of the body and are based on ancient Chinese medicine. Acupuncture is based on the idea of balance and restoring proper flow of energy through-out the body. Dry needling is a relatively new treatment based on modern Western medicine. Needles are inserted into trigger points which are areas of pain, spasm or tension in muscles or fascia. When the needles are inserted into trigger points, they elicit a response that releases the trigger point and restores blood flow to the area and therefore normal function.
If you are fearful of needles or unsure, don’t hesitate to let your Physiotherapist know – they will always ask for your written permission before implementing either acupuncture or dry needling in your treatment programme.

Manual Therapy
Manual therapy is a method of assessment and treatment that is commonly used by musculoskeletal Physiotherapists. It aims to quickly reduce pain and improve movement and is based on clinical research. Manual therapy treatment can include techniques which glide joints in a rhythmic manner (mobilisation), gap joint surfaces (manipulation) and/or use muscle contractions to stabilise or loosen joints.
Manual therapy has been shown to be effective in treating neck and back pain with the majority of clients seeing a reduction in pain, muscle spasm and improvement in function immediately following a session. You may also receive “homework” stretches, mobilisation and strengthening exercises to continue your progress at home.

FAQ List
Is physiotherapy painful?
Physiotherapists commonly use manual therapy as a method of assessment and treatment Manual therapy treatment can include techniques that glide joints in a rhythmic manner (mobilisation), gap joint surfaces (manipulation) and/or use muscle contractions to restrict or loosen joints. Some of these treatment techniques can be more intense. If you feel discomfort during your treatment, do inform your therapist.
After your treatment you may experience some post-treatment soreness, which can last a day or two. This is a normal, temporary response to having a stiff area of the spine stretched or weak muscles exercised.
Does acupuncture hurt?
All the acupuncturists at Posture Plus are certified, skilled and experienced in using acupuncture as a treatment modality. They are able to insert the needles in a manner which minimises the pain. Most clients find acupuncture almost painless, as the needle is very fine and thin. Some people hardly feel the insertion of the needles at all but it does depend on the area of the body concerned and the sensitivity of the client and their condition. In some cases, clients who are very sensitive or have a phobia of needles may find acupuncture unpleasant. In these cases, it is strongly recommended that the client discuss their fears with their treating Physiotherapist before receiving acupuncture
What to expect from your first Physiotherapy session?
Our Physiotherapy sessions are typically 60 minutes in duration. For your initial assessment, please bring along your Doctors referral and any relevant investigation reports such as Xray or MRI for your Physiotherapist to review. Depending on your condition, the Physiotherapist may ask you to disrobe in order to access the areas which need assessment. We also provide shorts, T-shirts and socks for you to use. Your Physiotherapist will assess your condition, make a musculoskeletal diagnosis and explain what treatment methods are best for your condition as well as the expected recovery process.
Who Can Benefit From Physiotherapy?
Anyone! Our Physiotherapists all have post-graduate training and extensive experience and each has specific areas of clinical interest. When you call us we will do our best to match you with the Physiotherapist who is best suited to treat you.
How often do I need to attend Physiotherapy Sessions?
Our initial goal is to address and then treat your area of concern using evidence-based treatment techniques. Every client is treated as an individual and your frequency of treatment will depend on many factors. Always feel free to ask your treating therapist what is the best treatment schedule for your condition.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of treatment sessions needed is dependent on your condition and how you respond to treatment. Everyone is different but generally acute conditions should feel significantly better after 3 weeks and your treatment sessions should decrease in frequency after that time. It is very important to discuss with your treating therapist your response to treatment so that they can modify the frequency of your treatments accordingly.
What type of training do our Physiotherapists have?
