Gentle, hands-on physio for everyday aches and pains

Physio Retreat isn't only pelvic floor. Whitney Lam also sees people for general physiotherapy at our Ashford clinic on Anzac Highway, with the same one-on-one, unhurried approach. Every appointment is with Whitney herself.

What we help with

Neck pain and stiffness

Sciatica and nerve pain down the leg

Headaches, including tension-type headaches linked to the neck

Back pain and general aches and pains

Lymphoedema care

Abdominal separation after pregnancy (assessed in our 60-minute general physio appointment)

We don't treat sports injuries, and we don't offer dry needling.

How we treat

Fascial counterstrain is the main technique we use. It's a very gentle, hands-on technique that releases tender points in the body using light pressure and positioning, so there's no cracking or forceful manipulation. It can also help with pelvic conditions like bladder and gut pain and urinary urgency.

We may also use TECAR therapy, a type of electrotherapy that gently warms the deeper tissues.

We assess you as a whole person and give you a tailored program to suit your needs. Understanding how pain works is a big part of getting better, so education and practical advice are part of every session.
