Latest Tips and Advice
How Physiotherapy Can Help You Live Better in Forster | Forster Tuncurry Physiotherapy & Allied Health
At Forster Tuncurry Physiotherapy & Allied Health, we believe that everyone deserves to move well and live pain-free. Whether you're recovering from an injury, managing a chronic condition or simply wanting to improve your mobility and strength, physiotherapy can play a crucial role in your journey to better health.
What Is Physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession focused on restoring function, improving mobility and relieving pain through hands-on treatment, exercise therapy, education and tailored rehabilitation programs. Our experienced physiotherapists in Forster work with people of all ages and backgrounds—from athletes and workers to seniors and children.
Benefits of Physiotherapy
1. Pain Relief Without Medication
Physiotherapy can help treat and manage pain caused by injury, poor posture, overuse, arthritis or chronic conditions—without relying on painkillers. Through techniques such as manual therapy, dry needling, soft tissue massage and guided exercises, we address the root cause of your discomfort.
2. Faster Injury Recovery
Whether it’s a sports injury, workplace accident or post-surgical recovery, physiotherapy accelerates healing by improving circulation, reducing inflammation and restoring movement. We create tailored treatment plans to get you back on your feet safely and efficiently.
3. Improved Mobility and Flexibility
If you’re experiencing stiffness, reduced range of motion or trouble with everyday activities, physiotherapy can help restore your movement. Our therapists assess your body mechanics and guide you through exercises designed to strengthen, stretch and support your joints and muscles.
4. Injury Prevention
Prevention is better than cure. We assess your movement patterns to identify potential risks and develop exercise programs to correct imbalances, improve posture and build resilience—especially important for athletes and active individuals in the Forster-Tuncurry area.
5. Support for Chronic Conditions
Physiotherapy is a valuable part of managing long-term conditions such as arthritis, osteoporosis, neurological disorders and post-stroke recovery. We help you maintain independence, manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
6. Falls Prevention and Balance Training
As we age, balance and strength can decline—raising the risk of falls. Our aged care and falls prevention programs focus on stability, strength and confidence to help keep you safe and active.

I broke my finger while on holidays, got in very quickly. Nick and the girls were very good and got me sorted. I Highly recommend these guys, they were great!
10/10 for a thorough consult with Reyne. The Forster community is lucky to have such a dedicated physio. :-)
I highly recommend this Physio Practice for its knowledge and experience. I had been in pain with my back for nearly 6 weeks not know what I had done. Matthew Koch with one simple exercise relieved my pain. He then provided helpful instructions on how to strengthen my back to avoid further injury. The staff were extremely helpful, polite and very professional. Thank you Matthew. :)
I attended FTPhysio for a strained back that was also reflecting into my leg. My Physiotherapist was Matt Koch. My experience by completion of a course of treatments was a success. I was firstly taken through an understanding of my issue, its likely causes and progressive treatments and exercises. My last session was today and I’m leaving in a much better condition that at commencement. Matt has provided me with ongoing exercises to continue my ‘self treatment’. I am very happy with the support that I’ve received from both Matt and FTPAH and couldn’t recommend them more highly. Thank you Mark
I have had 3 strokes and had all but given up on finding someone who could assist me with the problems I have been having. On arrival at the clinic I was placed under attendance of Matt. I have been listened to resulting in each new activity focused at the particular malaise. As well as his total focus on me throughout the entire session. This is not something I have come across in my attempts to find a physiotherapy home. Well done Matt. I have absolutely no complaints at the attention and support I have experienced at Foster Tuncurry Physiotherapy. Keep up the good work. Edwin Talbot.
The team is always welcoming & professional. Matt K takes the time to unpack the issue, understand my objectives and adapt treatment to suit.
