Physiotherapy Services at Back to Ease Physiotherapy in Bayswater
At Back to Ease Physiotherapy in Bayswater, led by physiotherapist Sam Patel, these are the hands-on treatments we use to get you moving and feeling better. Most are part of a tailored plan rather than a one-off fix, and we’ll always explain which ones suit your condition and why. No referral needed, and most patients book in directly as private patients.
Hands-On Treatment
The manual techniques we reach for most. These ease pain, free up stiff joints, and release tight tissue, usually as the foundation of a wider recovery plan.
Pain Management
Pain is your body telling you something’s wrong, and chasing the painkillers rarely fixes the why. We start by working out what’s actually driving your pain, whether that’s a joint, a muscle, a nerve, or the way you’ve been moving to protect yourself. From there we combine hands-on therapy, targeted exercise, and clear advice so the pain settles and, just as importantly, stays settled. You’ll leave understanding your body better, and not just a temporary fix.
Joint & Spinal Mobilisation
When a joint or part of your spine gets stiff, everything around it has to work harder to compensate, and that’s often where the pain shows up. We use gentle, controlled mobilisation techniques to coax stiff joints and spinal segments back into their natural range. It’s a precise technique, not a forceful one, and most people notice they can bend, turn, and reach more freely soon after. We’ll pair it with exercises, so the new movement actually holds.
Dry Needling
Fine, sterile needles are placed directly into tight bands of muscle to release knots that hands alone can’t always reach. When the needle hits the right spot, the muscle twitches and lets go, which eases pain and restores movement. It sounds more intense than it feels, and most patients are surprised how comfortable it is. We use it alongside other treatment, not on its own, to get faster, longer-lasting relief.
Dry needling can also help reduce tendon pain, calm irritated nerves, improve joint-related muscle dysfunction, and support recovery from both acute and long-standing injuries. Used as part of a comprehensive physiotherapy plan, it helps restore movement, reduce pain, and get you back to doing what you enjoy sooner.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping uses gentle suction to lift and decompress tight tissue, the opposite of the downward pressure of a massage. That suction draws fresh blood to the area, releases stubborn tension, and helps muscles that haven’t responded to other techniques. Many patients find it loosens long-held tightness in the back and shoulders and leaves the area feeling lighter and more mobile.
Movement, Strength and Prevention
Treatment that goes beyond the table. This is the work that keeps pain away, rebuilds strength, and gets you back to doing what you love with confidence.
Strength & Conditioning
Hands-on treatment settles the problem, but strength is what stops it from coming back. We build you a personalised exercise program that targets the specific areas holding you back, whether you’re returning to sport, recovering from an injury, or simply want a body that copes with daily life without flaring up. Every program is matched to your current level and progressed as you improve, so it always feels challenging but achievable.
Posture Correction
Long hours at a desk, behind the wheel, or hunched over a phone quietly load up your neck, shoulders, and lower back until they start to complain. We assess how you actually sit, stand, and move through your day, then give you practical, realistic changes rather than telling you to “sit up straight.” Small adjustments to your desk setup and a few targeted exercises can take a surprising amount of strain off, and keep it off.
Kinesiology & Sports Taping
Strategic taping can provide immediate support while allowing your body to move naturally as healing takes place. We use kinesiology taping to assist movement, reduce strain, and encourage recovery, while rigid sports taping helps protect and stabilise joints during activity. It’s valuable both for rehabilitation and for keeping active people in the game, and we’ll explain which type is best for you and why.
Balance & Falls Prevention
Losing confidence on your feet affects far more than just walking, it changes how freely and safely you live. We assess your strength, balance, and steadiness, then build a program designed to rebuild all three. The aim is simple: help you move around your home and community with confidence, stay independent, and meaningfully reduce your risk of a fall. It’s some of the most rewarding work we do.
Specialised Care Programs
Structured, longer-term support for ongoing conditions and injury claims, coordinated around your wider care.
Chronic Disease Management (CDM) / Care Plan Management Physiotherapy
If your GP has set up a Chronic Disease Management plan, we can deliver the physiotherapy side of it. These plans are designed for ongoing conditions that benefit from consistent, structured care over time. We coordinate with your GP, work to the goals in your plan, and focus on keeping you mobile, capable, and as independent as possible. It’s steady, planned treatment rather than a quick fix, and that’s exactly what long-term conditions need.
Workplace & TAC Injury Physiotherapy
An injury at work or in a motor vehicle accident affects far more than the injured body part, it disrupts your work, your income, and your daily routine. We guide your recovery one step at a time, with treatment built around getting you safely back to work, helping you with driving, and back to normal life. We’re familiar with how WorkCover and TAC processes work, so we can keep your rehab moving while the paperwork is handled in the background.
“No two bodies are the same, so no two treatment plans should be either. We pick the techniques that fit your condition, your goals, and your life, then adjust as you improve. That’s how you get lasting results, not just temporary relief.”
