Services
Acute Injuries
Whether it’s a sporting injury, a gardening injury or an “I woke up in pain” injury, at North West Physiotherapy Keperra we have the experience and the tools to accurately diagnose and treat the issue.

Post Op Rehab
Total knee replacements, ACL reconstructions, shoulder stabilisations, vertebral fusions, achilles tendon repair, total hip replacements, rotator cuff repairs… You name it, we’ve rehabilitated it. We have years of experience helping patients recover from surgery and ensuring they return to full function as fast as possible. We also have a wide range of products and other services, so at North West Physiotherapy Keperra we have everything you need for a speedy recovery.
Hydrotherapy
Performing rehabilitation exercises in water heated to 32 degrees provides the added benefits of decreased weight bearing, increased joint support and warming of muscles and ligaments, making it a great option for conditions such as knee and hip osteoarthritis, chronic back pain and frozen shoulder as well as an ideal place to begin rehabilitating after surgery.
Acupuncture
Western acupuncture incorporates both traditional acupuncture points and dry needling of trigger points to complement your Physiotherapy treatment. It is effective for treating muscle tightness and can help reduce the pain and inflammation associated with conditions such as low back pain, arthritis and cervicogenic headaches.
Massage
Massage is a great way to relieve general stress and tension, as well as release any specific areas of muscle tightness that may be causing discomfort. Although we don’t currently have a remedial massage therapist, all our Physiotherapists incorporate massage in to their treatments.
Pilates
Pilates is a great, low impact way to build and maintain the strength of your core. This is great for people with low back pain, hip pain, poor posture, neck pain and headaches. We offer equipment circuit classes with a maximum of 3-4 people so each exercise can be tailored specifically to your level of strength and fitness.
