Find care for the concerns affecting your movement, comfort and everyday life.
Pain, an injury or a change in how you feel can make work, family life, exercise and simple daily tasks harder. Coast Therapy offers assessment and care for a range of concerns. You can explore the guides below by symptom or condition, then speak with the team about a suitable service and first appointment. You do not need to know your exact diagnosis before getting in touch.
What conditions does Coast Therapy treat?
Coast Therapy supports a wide range of conditions, injuries, and health concerns through a multidisciplinary team of practitioners and services. The guides below highlight some of the common concerns we see and provide information about symptoms, when to seek assessment, and possible next steps.
Because similar symptoms can have different causes, your care begins with understanding your individual needs and determining which practitioner or combination of services may be most appropriate for you. With an array of practitioners and areas of expertise across Coast Therapy, we can help connect you with the right care for your goals.

Care that fits your goals
The right starting point depends on your symptoms, health history and what you want to get back to doing. Coast Therapy offers services including physiotherapy, kinesiology, registered massage therapy, chiropractic care, acupuncture, counselling and occupational therapy. A clinician can explain which approach fits your assessment and whether care from more than one service would be useful. Services and appointment availability vary by clinic.
At a first visit, your clinician will ask about your concern, how it affects daily activities and what you hope to change. Assessment and treatment options depend on the service and your needs. Your clinician can explain their findings, discuss an individual plan and recommend medical assessment or a different service when appropriate.
