Easy access to a physiotherapy clinic is incredibly important for patients, to put it simply, because it makes the whole experience less of a hassle. If you’re dealing with pain or mobility issues, the last thing you want is to struggle with getting to your appointments. If the clinic is in a convenient spot - close to home, work, or easy to reach by public transport - it takes away the stress of traveling. Which is exactly what we implemented and kept in mind when we first renovated our new building for Bathurst Physiotherapy.
Physiotherapy exercise classes are group sessions led by a physiotherapist designed to help individuals improve their physical health, manage pain, and recover from injuries. These classes typically include a variety of exercises tailored to the participants' needs, focusing on improving strength, flexibility, balance, and cardiovascular fitness. The exercises are often low-impact and can be adjusted to accommodate different fitness levels and medical conditions.
At Bathurst Physiotherapy, we pride ourselves on providing exceptional care through advanced technology and a patient-centered approach. Our state-of-the-art clinic offers a welcoming environment where your health and well-being are our top priorities.
Ever wondered how Virtual Reality can aid in physiotherapy treatment?
Virtual reality (VR) enhances physiotherapy treatment by providing immersive and engaging environments that make rehabilitation exercises more enjoyable and less monotonous. This immersive experience helps patients stay committed to their therapy regimens, as they are more likely to adhere to engaging activities. Additionally, the immersive nature of VR can distract patients from pain, making it easier for them to complete necessary exercises with reduced pain perception.

Runners, cyclists, triathletes and all other endurance athletes! A few notes and advice from Angus about the forced off season…
Like many others locally, I have been forced into a holding pattern with my endurance training. Also, I have that itchy, bugs under the skin feeling whenever I don’t have training goals and objectives on the horizon. So, I thought I would jot down some hidden opportunities in this challenging time for endurance athletes.
If it wasn't obvious from our subtle facebook posts and hints over the past few months about the "new practice", well now it is! We are very excited to announce that we have bought, completely renovated and made a new purpose built practice for Bathurst Physiotherapy!
