Common problems we help with in Brewarrina

• Lower back pain from station work and lifting

• Shoulder and knee pain from manual work

• Balance and mobility concerns in older adults

• Ongoing aches that have never been properly assessed

Every session is with a qualified, AHPRA-registered physiotherapist. We assess the problem, explain what's going on, and build an exercise and self-management plan you can do at home or on site. If we think you need a scan or a face-to-face review, we'll tell you and help you arrange it.

For employers in Brewarrina

Local industries like grazing, and council and community services carry a high risk of musculoskeletal injury. Getting injured workers seen early matters. Research from Monash University found workers who saw a physiotherapist within 7 days of injury had a median of 8.0 weeks off work, compared with 34.7 weeks for those who waited more than 30 days (Mekonnen et al., BMC Public Health, 2025). Telephysio Australia helps Brewarrina employers get workers assessed within days, not weeks, with clear reporting for your WHS and return to work team.
