Q&A with Dean Hammerton

What made you decide to become a physiotherapist?

I've always wanted to help people overcome physical obstacles to their lifestyle and improve their quality of life. I was always fascinated by the human body, the way it moves, and skilled performance.

What do you love most about your job?

I love achieving real outcomes for patients and helping them along the pathway to their goals. I especially love when I have made a clear difference in my patients' quality of life and impacted their performance in their preferred pursuits.

Why should a new patient decide to choose you?

I have six years of experience as an Accredited Exercise Physiologist before becoming a physiotherapist, so I am well suited to helping patients along the journey from their initial injury to their return to their chosen activity.

What do you enjoy doing when you're not working?

Enjoying coffee and good food with great company. I also love walking my dog (Japanese Spitz) and spending time with my wife. When I get the chance, I'm often training martial arts or other forms of training.

General FAQs

What is physiotherapy?

There is so much to physiotherapy, but let’s begin from the definition. Physiotherapy, also known as physical therapy is a profession to help people suffering from injuries, pains, or illness, recover quickly through different treatment plans.

University education for physiotherapy takes approximately four years. Physiotherapists either graduate with a Bachelors or Masters Degree. Further education can be completed to gain a PhD. Their training comprises biology, human anatomy, and they do understand how the body functions.

Physiotherapists are health practitioners with the business of pain alleviation, injuries treatment, injury prevention, regaining fitness, physical rehabilitation, and improving the overall well-being.

They have different tools in their arsenal to accomplish this. The best treatment tools employed by physiotherapists include:

However, treatment is not offered immediately to a patient. The patient is first subjected to various testing to identify the underlying cause accurately. After a treatment plan is developed, the underlying cause can be identified, and your health will be restored as soon as possible.

You can’t do without a physiotherapist to get back to normalcy in the shortest time possible.

You can see a physiotherapist without necessarily getting a doctor’s referral in Australia. Nevertheless, a physiotherapist may need to work together with doctors and other health professionals on a patient with more complicated issues.

Physiotherapy helps to promote health, fitness, also prevents injury so that you can get back to business. No pain or disease can stop you now!

Carlingford profile

Carlingford is a suburb of Sydney, New South Wales (NSW) that is 22 kilometres away from the Sydney CBD. According to the 2016 census, Carlingford’s population is 24,394.

History of Carlingford

At the arrival of the First Fleet at Port Jackson in 1788, the inhabitants of Carlingford were the Wallumedegal or Wallumattagai people, who lived in the area bounded by the Parramatta River and Lane Cove River.

The first land grants in Carlingford happened in the 1790s, which included those to Cox, Mobss and Arndell. In 1800, around 100 Aboriginal people were living around Cox’s Brush Farm; however, Aboriginal people began moving to new areas, and therefore their numbers living in Carlingford dropped considerably in 1872.

The suburb was officially named Carlingford in 1883 as it was described to be similar to Carlingford, County Louth in Ireland. Alternatively, it is believed that the suburb was named in honour of Lord Carlingford, who was the British Undersecretary of State for the Colonies for 1847-1860.
