Q&A with Ashley Steinlauf

What made you decide to become a physiotherapist?

My fascination with how the human body works made me interested in physiotherapy. Then, with my sports background and interest in exercise and a healthy lifestyle made me decide to become a physiotherapist.

What do you love most about your job?

What I love most about my job is seeing the positive impact we have when someone gets better or has some improvement from implementing the advice I gave. It is rewarding to be helping others and educating people so that they can take charge of their health.

Why should a new patient decide to choose you?

A new patient should choose me because I am patient and understanding. I am not pushy but will encourage gradual progression. I try to empower people to self manage and will take the time to treat and support during rehabilitation. I am also a dedicated pilates instructor that knows how to be creative with exercises for a wide array of injuries and disabilities.

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

When I am not working, I enjoy going for long walks by the coast or in the mountains. I also regularly dance salsa and practice yoga. I love travelling and learning languages. To relax, I like to read or play the ukulele.

What do you enjoy about Sydney CBD and the community?

I love working in the Sydney CBD because there are a lot of beautiful parks and outdoor areas around. I also like that it is accessible to most people. I like the community because people support each other, mainly the clients I treat.

Q&A with Nikita Mistry

What made you decide to become a physiotherapist?

I've always enjoyed the health sciences as well as spending time with people. I love how physios spend a lot of time with each patient to individualise their treatment and get the best outcomes. I also like being in a field that keeps changing and I'm always learning new techniques or treatments that I can use to help my patients.

What do you love most about your job?

I love getting to know my patients and learning about why they came to see me and how best we can work together to achieve their goals. Whether it's elite level athletes, office workers or kids, everyone has a different journey and I want to help optimise it and make it enjoyable for them. No matter how big or small the goal is, it's a pleasure to be part of someone's recovery.

Why should a new patient decide to choose you?

My two most important factors when treating a patient is that we can achieve their goals and that we have fun along the way. It all starts with finding out exactly what a patient wants to get out of treatment. Whether they're looking for a recovery plan after a sports injury or looking to manage a chronic condition they've had for years. I strive to engage the patient in their plan and figure out strategies that will work with their lifestyle and goals.

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

I've played netball since I was young and still enjoy playing with my team in the local club competion. I also enjoy going bush walking and hiking around Sydney. In my spare time I like reading and listening to podcasts.

What do you enjoy about Sydney CBD and the community?

Sydney City has a massive variety of patients and Therapy Max having access to facilities like the hydrotherapy pool, gym and pilates equipment means that we attract a range, from people with disabilities to corporate clients and of course the locals who have been coming to the practice for decades. Everyone is friendly and motivated and it's a pleasure getting to know them and helping them along the way.

General FAQs

What is physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy is the way to recover from different health problems which include injuries. You might be suffering from mobility problems, stiffness in certain areas, or a difficult pain. Physiotherapists are trained and specialists in certain skills that help in improving the lifestyle of affected people. They have access to a wide variety of tools that help in achieving such goals.

Treatment Options:

Physiotherapists are experienced and trained. They have 4 years of training in the subject. They hold a Master’s or a Bachelor’s degree. With their training and knowledge, they have a total understanding of the human body. During their training, their focus is on anatomy, biology, and the normal functioning of our bodies.

They can easily assess the condition and treat the problem. With their proficiency, it does not take them long to find the disorder. As the physiotherapist starts treating you, a complete evaluation is done to find out the main problem. Once that is done, a treatment plan is devised. The patient gets complete assistance in recovering.

If you want to see a physiotherapist in Australia, there is no requirement for a doctor’s reference. But the therapist does coordinate with health practitioners and doctors, which helps in managing and in treating the condition. Physiotherapy is the way to restore, for maintaining, and improving the functions of your body. You will get back to your usual injury-free lifestyle. There is nothing that will hold you back.
