Services & specialist techniques

Musculoskeletal conditions are among the most common reasons people see a physiotherapist. Shalini takes a thorough assessment approach — understanding not just where the pain is, but why it's there and what's maintaining it. Treatment typically combines manual therapy, targeted exercise, and education so you understand what's happening in your body.

Good post-surgical rehabilitation can make the difference between a full recovery and persistent problems. Shalini works closely with your surgeon's protocol to design a structured program — beginning with early-stage mobility and pain management, progressing through strengthening, and culminating in a return to full function.

Chronic pain is complex — it involves more than just tissue damage, and treatment that only focuses on the physical often falls short. Shalini uses a biopsychosocial approach that combines hands-on techniques, graded exercise, pain science education, and practical self-management strategies to genuinely reduce pain's impact on your daily life.

Neurological physiotherapy requires a different lens — working with how the nervous system learns and retrains movement patterns, rather than purely addressing musculoskeletal structures. Shalini has experience across a range of neurological conditions and adapts every program to what the person in front of her can realistically do and build on.

Falls are one of the leading causes of hospitalisation for older Australians — but most falls are preventable with the right program. Shalini conducts a thorough falls risk assessment before designing a targeted balance and strength program. This might include home modification advice, gait retraining, and building the strength and confidence to move independently.

Whether you're a weekend runner, a club-level footballer, or a competitive athlete, sports injuries deserve proper assessment and rehabilitation. Shalini brings experience from elite-level sport — including IPL cricket and professional tennis — to assess injuries accurately and build return-to-sport programs with realistic timelines and clear milestones.
