Core Physiotherapy is basically a healthcare provider that evaluates, analysis, treats and works to avoid injury and disability. Core Physiotherapy & Pilates Studio started with the name of Woodcroft Physiotherapy in 1993. The practice grew vividly due to decent client education as well as one-on-one patient care philosophy. The links between local doctors, members of local community and health care doctors became stronger with passage of time. After being successful in the first clinic, they opened their second clinic at Burnside in 1996 and the main emphasis in this clinic was on rehabilitation and pilates exercise systems which offers flexible sessions. Other clinics were opened from Adelaide’s Southern suburbs to the North Eastern region. At the same time, they changed their clinics name to ‘ Core Physiotherapy and Pilates Studio’.
At present time, Core Physiotherapy clinics are fifteen in number and these clinics comprised of well qualified and experienced South Australian Physiotherapists with individual owners. A large range of services available can be explored on their clinic’s website such as Sports Physiotherapy, Dry Needling, Shockwave Therapy, Hydrotherapy etc. Additionally, wide variety of therapy aids are available for purchase or hire. Moreover, physiotherapists provide best physical treatment of musculoskeletal as well as neurological disorders. They mainly focus on listening problems of clients and provide them best solution to get them back to a healthy life. In case of gap between client’s visit, physiotherapists educate and guide them to manage their complaints by home exercises. Clinic staff keep on reminding patients who need treatment on regular basis about their next visit by phone calls which is a manual process and requires a lot of effort and time. Even in some cases, patients can forget or neglect the appointment. As, Core Physio don’t have any automatic tool to visualize the next visit of the client based on client’s previous history.
