Bankstown Physiotherapy

Quality and Affordable Physiotherapy Treatment in the  Bankstown Area

For over 25 years, Lidcombe Physiotherapy Centre has been providing expert physiotherapy care to Bankstown residents and those in nearby surrounding areas. Practice principal physiotherapist Gerard Essey is focused on eliminating your pain, restoring function, and improving your quality of life.  Comprehensive testing and a thorough assessment of your injury or condition is carried out to determine exactly how it occurred and understand its current impact on your daily routine. Your initial consultation will last 45-60 minutes and will include: assessment and recording of joint range of movement, pain region and severity, limb circumference measurements, swelling measurement, and joint, ligament and muscle testing. This provides baseline measurements prior to treatment, allowing us to determine and devise a customised physiotherapy plan.

At Lidcombe Physiotherapy, we implement evidence based, safe and effective treatment protocols to enhance your recovery. These include hands-on treatment such as joint mobilisation, manipulation and traction.  Soft tissues are treated with PNF stretching, deep tissue massage, myofascial release and trigger point therapy. Exercises are also an essential part of the overall treatment regime and every patient is instructed on a specific and appropriate plan for their problem. Depending on your individual circumstances, biomechanical and posture correction may also be provided within the treatment session. We treat all patients including private clients, Workcover patients, Medicare-Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) patients, Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA) patients and Compulsory Third Party (CTP) patients.
