PHYSIOTHERAPY

---

At Avenue Health, we take the time to listen and understand your concerns during every consultation. We ask plenty of questions and guide you through specific movements to get a clear picture of what's going on.

Once we have a thorough understanding, we offer tailored treatments, which may include:

• Hands-on therapy: massage, joint mobilisation, and joint manipulation
• Dry Needling
• Electrotherapy: Therapeutic Ultrasound & Interferential Therapy
• Taping
• A personalized home exercise program

We also believe in working together with our local GPs to provide you with the best care. While we’re experts in physiotherapy, we know that sometimes pain-relieving medications or imaging might be needed. That’s why we have a strong network of allied health professionals and specialists, both locally and in metro and regional centres, to ensure you get the right help, at the right time, to manage your health. Your well-being is our top priority!

Our experienced physiotherapists treat a wide range of conditions and are passionate about getting you back to your best. Here are just a few examples of how we can help:

Sports Injuries: 

Injured your knee playing netball or during a workout? Let’s work together to get you back in the game!

Lower Back Pain:

Is your back feeling tight or stiff? Does it ‘go out’ on you or cause sharp pain down your leg? We’ll help ease your discomfort and improve your mobility.

Mid Back Pain:

If you’ve been sitting for long periods or driving more than usual, you may be experiencing tightness in your mid back. Breathing deeply or twisting may be painful. Let us help relieve that tension.

Neck Pain:

Woken up with a stiff neck or struggling to turn your head? Do you get tension headaches? We’re here to provide relief so you can move freely again.

Knee Pain:

Whether you’ve injured your knee during sport or tripped and fallen, we can help you get back on your feet. Worried about osteoarthritis? We’ve got you covered!

Foot Pain:

Are your feet sore at the end of the day? We’ll help you find the right footwear and address any issues that may be causing discomfort.

Shoulder Pain:

Do you experience shoulder pain when hanging out the washing or when lying on your side at night? We can help with posture and ease that aching sensation.

No Referral Needed – We are PRIMARY CONTACT PROFESSIONALS, which means you don’t need a referral. Simply give us a call or send a text to book your appointment today!

Meet Lauren Edwards!

A proud Barham local, Lauren grew up in the community before pursuing her passion for Physiotherapy at Latrobe University, where she graduated in 2008. Afterward, she returned to her hometown to bring her talent back to the people she cares about.

In 2013, Lauren took a big leap and started her own Physiotherapy practice, and in 2018, she turned a dream into reality by purchasing the property at 40 Muir Avenue. This is where the idea for the Allied Health coworking space was born, creating a welcoming environment for both practitioners and patients alike. Today, Lauren serves as the director of Avenue Health, a place where the community can find compassionate, professional care.

Lauren lives in Kerang with her husband, John, and their four young daughters. When it comes to physiotherapy, she has a particular interest in helping people with shoulder pain, foot and lower limb biomechanics, and providing care for our older population. Her commitment to her community shines through in everything she does!
