Our Methods

Our analysis and treatment is guided with the assistance of Australia’s only Formetric – a non-invasive scanning machine – producing informative 3D radiation-free images of your spine and associated skeletal areas.

Physiotherapy treatment of general Back and Neck Pains

Injuries and pain are scrutinized to identify the most likely source of the pain. Often the source of the pain is not the site of the pain. Once identified, the source of the pain is addressed leading to a resolution of the pain.

How our treatment differs from other physiotherapy practices:

• Individualized treatment: patients are given undivided attention
• Minimal use of machines
• Tailored exercise program prescription
• Super-specialised scoliosis treatment using Schroth & SEAS method.

We treat and manage symptoms associated with spine deformity such as scoliosis and scheurmans kyphosis using the Schroth and SEAS methods as well as posture alignment therapies from the Egoscue University. 

Scoliosis treatment

Effective scoliosis treatment requires a specialised approach. The Schroth & SEAS method of scoliosis treatment are the worlds’ most validated methods of effectively treating scoliosis. These methods involve a therapy plan of specific exercises to correct scoliotic posture in the assumption that scoliotic posture promotes curve progression.

The aim of the method is to:

• Decrease the progression (worsening) of a scoliotic curve
• Improve posture
• Reduce pain
• Increase functional tolerance

This is achieved by applying Katarina Schroth’s 3 Dimensional Correction technique and protocol to the patient’s current existing curve profile.

The first part of the Schroth protocol involves a comprehensive assessment and deconstruction of the components of the scoliotic curve followed by a workshop period where the patient gets to understand and internalise their existing curve profile. This involves x-ray analysis, physical measurements, exercise and discussion.

The Schroth technique is applied through a systematic series of postural corrections that are dependent on the curve profile. Over a series of sessions, the systematic corrections are taught in a variety of starting positions.

Once we have achieved corrected posture performing RAB, we teach the patient activation exercises to strengthen the muscles that are required to maintain the new corrected posture.

Posture Alignment Therapy

As we are certified through the Egoscue University, Posture Alignment Therapy empowers you to correct your alignment, leading to a resolution of pain, prevention of injury, increase in performance capacity and an increased general sense of well-being.

Postural alignment therapy is based on the premise that the human body has a specific design posture and that deviations away from the design posture can cause pain, either at the site of the deviation or elsewhere in the body.

Exercise therapy and weight loss consulting

Weight loss is often impeded by an inability to exercise at a sufficient intensity due to pain and discomfort. UprightCare can work with you to develop an exercise program taking your limitations into consideration.

Osteoporosis & Posture Improvement

UprightCare offer a customised assessment and treatment program, consisting of five sessions that will improve posture and help build bone strength.

We work with leading spinal and osteoporosis specialists and are the most advanced posture and osteoporosis clinic in Australia.  We have a custom-built modern gym for your exercises.

Our daily Posture and Movement Classes at 10am focus on correcting posture, increasing and maintaining bone density as well as increasing mobility, strength and flexibility.
