    General Physio

    General physio in Ashford, Adelaide for neck pain, sciatica and headaches. Gentle fascial counterstrain. Medicare care plans, DVA, health funds and telehealth.

    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.


    Appointments and funding


    First appointment: 30 minutes, or 60 minutes if you'd also like a postnatal abdominal separation assessment
    Review appointments: 30 minutes
    Medicare: bring your GP care plan referral and book the care plan appointment type
    DVA: DVA-funded appointments are available with a referral
