- Neck and back pain
- Shoulder, hip and knee injuries
- Muscle and soft tissue injuries
- Reduced strength, mobility or function following injury
Your physiotherapist will complete a detailed assessment and develop an individualised treatment plan based on your symptoms, functional limitations and recovery goals.

Your physiotherapy program may include:
- Exercise-based rehabilitation
- Movement and mobility retraining
- Hands-on physiotherapy where appropriate

Programs are reviewed and progressed over time according to your recovery, approved claim and medical guidance.
Working with Your GP & ICWA
Lake Gwelup Physiotherapy regularly collaborates with local GPs and the Insurance Commission of Western Australia (ICWA) to support coordinated and well-communicated care.
