Allied health professionals are university-trained health practitioners, other than doctors and nurses, who help prevent, diagnose and treat a range of conditions. They include physiotherapists, podiatrists, dietitians, psychologists, exercise physiologists, occupational therapists and speech pathologists.
Many are registered with AHPRA and work closely with your GP.
Physiotherapists assess and treat problems with muscles, joints, nerves and movement, from back pain and sports injuries to recovery after surgery and long-term conditions.
