If you’re experiencing pain, stiffness, or mobility issues, you’re not alone. In Carlton, Tullamarine and the surrounding suburbs many people search for solutions to common physiotherapy injuries. Whether you’re an athlete, an office worker, elderly or recovering from an accident, understanding these conditions can help you get the right treatment fast.
At The Physio Crew we specialise in treating a wide range of injuries. Below are some of the most common physiotherapy conditions we treat at our Carlton and Tullamarine Physiotherapy Clinics.
1. Lower Back Pain & Sciatica
One of the most common reasons people seek physiotherapy is lower back pain. Whether caused by an injury at work or sport or home, heavy lifting, being sedentary, age related spinal conditions or prolonged sitting, lower back issues can lead to chronic discomfort. In some cases, it extends to sciatica, where pain radiates down the leg due to nerve compression.
Treatment: Manual therapy, strengthening and mobility exercises, Load management and activity modification strategies and getting your active early and safely.
2. Neck Pain
With so many people working at desks or staring at screens, neck pain has become widespread. It is a growing concern and can lead to stiffness, headaches, and upper back discomfort.
Treatment: Education and advice, soft tissue release and joint mobilisation, ergonomic advice, and mobility and neck strengthening exercises.
3. Sports Injuries – Knee & Ankle Sprains
Carlton and Tullamarine have active sporting communities, leading to a high number of knee injuries (such as ACL tears, meniscus injuries) and ankle sprains. Runners, footballers, and basketball players often suffer from patellofemoral pain syndrome or Achilles tendinopathy.
Treatment: Strength and balance training, load management strategies, taping, plyometrics and power training and individual rehabilitation programs.
4. Shoulder Injuries – Rotator Cuff & Frozen Shoulder
Treatment for Rotator cuff injuries and frozen shoulder are frequently enquired by the community. People can often suffer from shoulder pain due to repetitive strain or sudden injuries such as a fall at home or while playing a sport.
Treatment: Shoulder and scapular mobility and strengthening exercises, manual therapy, and progressive strengthening programs.
5. Tennis Elbow & Golfer’s Elbow
Even if you don’t play tennis or golf, you might still develop lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) or medial epicondylitis (golfer’s elbow). These conditions are caused by repetitive wrist movements and an increased in load, common among office workers, tradespeople, and gym users.
Treatment: Hands-on therapy, dry needling, taping, load management, and strengthening exercises.
6. Hip Pain & Bursitis
People in the Tullamarine and Carlton areas often complain about hip pain, especially due to hip bursitis or hip osteoarthritis. This condition is common among walkers, runners, cyclists, and older adults.
Treatment: Strength training, manual therapy, and movement modification.
7. Post-Surgery Rehab – Knee & Hip Replacements
With an aging population, post-surgical rehabilitation, particularly for knee replacements and hip replacements are common. Physiotherapy helps regain strength, mobility, and confidence after surgery. At our state of the art gym, many of our clients complete their rehabilitation after having hip and knee replacements to support them to get back to doing the activities they love.
Treatment: Guided rehabilitation, mobility and strength training, and pain management strategies.
