Osteoarthritis & Arthritis Treatment

We’ve been helping Bankstown’s osteoarthritis & arthritis sufferers with for over 15 years with our "unique" arthritis treatment, and we’d love to use our experience to help you!

At Unique Physio, we help you live a better life despite your arthritis. Arthritis affects one in seven Australians, from young to old. It can have profound impacts on quality of life and wellbeing due to the associated pain, physical limitations and psychological stress.

Our Unique Physio team will guide you in ways to effectively self-manage your condition based on the best research evidence available. Treatment can include pain relief strategies, advice on activity modification and pacing to limit flare-ups, and prescription of mobility aids or orthosis for functional improvement.

At Unique Physio, we do understand everyone is unique and so we are. You will have a safe, personalised exercise program to help you stay more active and healthy in the long run. This will initially be supervised by your physiotherapist or exercise physiologist until you are ready to progress to a group class or perform your exercises independently.

Here – it’s not just about understanding and treating the unique combination of reasons why you are not feeling 100% today. It’s about finding your true source of motivation, and working together on a unique plan for your whole body - so you don’t just get out of pain, but go do what you really want. That’s why we work here.

Help & FAQ’s

Can I exercise with arthritis?

Arthritis-friendly physical activity is good for people with arthritis.
Regular physical activity can:

• Help relieve arthritis pain and stiffness.
• Give you more energy.
• Lift your mood and make you feel more positive.

Stay as active as your health allows, and change your activity level depending on your arthritis symptoms. Speak to your physiotherapist to find out the suitable exercises/activities for you.

Does being overweight affect arthritis?

It is important for people with arthritis to maintain a healthy weight. For people who are overweight or obese, losing weight reduces pressure on joints, particularly weight bearing joints like the hips and knees; and thus help to reduce pain and improve function for people with arthritis.

At any age, low-impact, arthritis-friendly physical activity and diet changes can help you lose weight.

I am having troubles with stairs, is your clinic accessible?

There is a wheelchair and pram accessible ramp on right side of the building entry. There are no steps once inside the practice.

What happens in an initial appointment?

Your initial appointment will involve a thorough history taking. Along with this, several assessments will be performed to gauge your current physical capabilities. Your physiotherapist may provide you with manual therapy (hands on treatment), or electrotherapy to help with your pain; as well as giving you advice on exercises and home management strategies.

Do you accept GPMP (formerly EPC - Enhanced Primary Care Plan)?

Yes we do! If your GP has referred you to us we accept the GP management plan as part of your treatment and rehabilitation.

Can I claim my Private Health Insurance?

Yes. We are also preference providers for Medibank and NIB.

Do I need a referral?

No! We accept clients from any source, and without having to see a doctor prior to seeing us. We also accept referrals from clients who have been in workplace (WorkCover) or car (CTP) accidents. If you have a WorkCover or CTP claim number, bring these details with you to your first appointment.

Do I need to have x-rays or scans done before I come to a physiotherapist?

You don’t need to have scans done before attending. Our physiotherapists will assess your condition, and can advise for scan if appropriate.

Is there parking available?

There is free street parking available outside the premises, however it can be hard to sometimes find a spot. A safer bet is to enter “31 Meredith Street Bankstown” on google maps. This will navigate you to a carpark which is located behind the clinic and ample free parking!
