Arana Hills is a family suburb: at the 2021 Census, 6.5% of residents were aged 0 to 4 and 6.8% were aged 5 to 9, both above the Queensland shares, and City of Moreton Bay describes its lush recreation parks and access to Kedron Brook.

58.0% of employed Arana Hills residents worked full time in 2021, above the Queensland figure of 55.8%. When a weekend game or a trail ride ends in a sore ankle, knee or shoulder, our Ferny Hills clinic can plan your rehab around your sport and your week.

  • Settle pain and swelling early
  • Rebuild strength, balance and confidence
  • Return to sport or training with a plan that lowers your risk of re-injury

Whether you play weekend footy, run, ride or just want to chase the kids without pain, we will tailor your program to your sport and your goals.

Arana Hills: mountain bike trails on both sides

Local context

Queensland Parks lists eight mountain-bike-only trails at Samford Conservation Park, and ten designated mountain bike trails at Bunyaville Conservation Park, where it says a high level of fitness is required.

Why it matters

Technical trails and weekend sport bring falls, rolled ankles and jarred wrists and shoulders, and full-time weeks leave little room to recover.

How we help

We settle pain and swelling early, rebuild strength and balance, and plan your return to the trails or the field around your sport.

How We Can Help

We treat for the following conditions:

  • Spinal Injuries
  • Neck and back pain
  • Arthritis
  • Upper and lower limb injuries and conditions
  • Sporting injuries
  • Work injuries
  • Whiplash
  • Chronic pain
  • Post-operative rehabilitation and more

Arthritis treatment

We focus on strengthening your body to support your joints, getting them moving again and improving your overall ability to move. In order to get you to this point, we come up with an individualised exercise plan for you to increase your strength and flexibility.

Sports injury rehabilitation

Sports injuries affect bones, muscles, tissues and cartilage and are detrimental to normal daily activities, not just athletic performance. Sports injuries require supervision and time to heal safely.

Back pain management

We will decide upon a course of action and treat you with manual therapy, exercises and use of heat or ice to relieve pain. This includes training for proper lifting, sitting, and bending and proper sleeping positions.

Hydrotherapy

Hydrotherapy focuses on slow and controlled movements that lead to relaxation. At the same time, pushing against the water helps improve muscle strength.

Our Personalised Treatment approach

Our treatment plan for you begins with a comprehensive assessment and physical exam to diagnose your condition. We then communicate with you and other health professionals to collaborate on a treatment and recovery plan to get you back on your feet. When we have determined your health goal, we will begin treatment which involves hands-on mobilisation and soft tissue techniques.

Once your initial complaint is treated, we will teach you to manage your pain and aid your recovery.

All of our treatment techniques are based on scientific research and clinical experience. We are always adapting to new treatment methods and advances in technology so you receive the most up-to-date care.

Physio questions from Arana Hills

I hurt my ankle at the weekend game. What comes first?

Settling pain and swelling early, then rehab that rebuilds strength, balance and confidence. If you cannot put weight on it, see a doctor first.
