Ducker Physio was a family-run business when it was originally established in 1992. It has gradually grown beyond the family's complete control over the years. Currently, Mark Covino, a new member of the board of directors, and Mark Ducker, one of the company's original founders and managing director, own ownership. The original family-held goals, however, to consistently provide top-notch hands-on therapy and place a premium on great customer service, have not changed. Both "Marks" are very driven and diligent, and they both place a strong emphasis on continuous development across the board while also actively seeking out consumer feedback. For many years, customers have been lured in by these familial values.

2. Sports Injuries
Sporting injuries can create a great deal of frustration to a person as it can force them
away from a sport or activity they love, or cause ongoing pain and discomfort whilst they
continue to play.
Early diagnosis and correct treatment by one of our skilled physiotherapists Adelaide can
greatly reduce the time away from the sport or how quickly a person will become pain­free
whilst they are playing their sport. As a result, the enjoyment and performance levels will be
returned much more quickly.
Typical sporting injuries include strains and sprains to muscles, joints, tendons and
ligaments as well as overuse / repetitive injuries to these structures. Our physiotherapists
have the assessment skills to diagnose both acute and chronic injuries.
From this assessment and your history
We will determine whether physiotherapy will assist your injury to full recovery, or whether
further investigations or specialist surgical opinion may be required. If surgery is required
then physiotherapy post­operatively is essential to restore full movement and strength to the
injured area and other areas. Otherwise, further injury to these areas may ensue due to lack
of rehabilitation, as well as speed up recovery time to return to sport as soon as possible.

Back Pain
Back pain is another extremely common condition that will affect most of us at some stage in
our lives. It can not only cause local back pain but also contribute to hip, groin, leg and foot
pain or paraesthesia. Structures in the back that can cause these symptoms to include the
spinal discs, muscles, ligaments, bones and nerve tissue.
Causes of back pain include:
Poor posture.
Prolonged or repetitive sitting, bending or lifting.
Weakness due to lack of exercise or being overweight.
During pregnancy.
Traumas such as falls, sporting collisions or vehicle accidents.
Our physiotherapists can accurately and skilfully assess the cause of your back pain, how
to manage the problem in the short and long terms, and then discuss and plan the correct
course of treatment for you. Often long­standing low back pain requires exercises and
education to manage the problem successfully.

Neck Pain
Neck pain is a very common condition that can also contribute to headaches, shoulder and
upper back pain. Physiotherapy can greatly assist these problems.
The neck’s role is to support and move your head, which has significant weight. As a result,
it is vulnerable to injury from prolonged periods of forwarding head posture such as being in
front of the computer, laptops, television or playing computer games/devices. Other causes
of neck pain can be traumas. For example, a whiplash injury from a vehicle accident, or
numerous micro­injuries to the neck over the years, such as heavy lifting or sporting
collisions, can cause degenerative neck changes.
Our physiotherapists can accurately and skilfully assess the origin of your pain and then
discuss and plan the correct course of treatment for you.

Joint Pain
Peripheral Joints are joints other than the spine. Examples of these joints are the shoulder,
elbow, wrist, hip, knee, ankle and foot.
These joints can be injured by trauma such as a fall or sporting accident, overloading and
repetition on the joint, or arthritis (wear and tear arthritis called osteoarthritis or systemic
arthritis such as rheumatoid arthritis).
Traumatic injuries to these joints may include dislocations, subluxations, sprains, strains and
tears. Overloading injuries may include tendonitis/tendinosis, bursitis and synovitis.
Our physiotherapists have the diagnostic and assessment skills to assess the origin of your
joint problem and then plan the correct course of treatment. They will give you advice about
the likely causes of your problem and how to best prevent it from happening again in the
future.

12. Headaches
Headaches can severely affect your quality and enjoyment of life. There are many causes of
headaches, but the most common type of headache is caused by problems to the structures
of the neck. These include the cervical joints, muscles and nerve tissue. It can present in the
back of the head and upper neck, temples, forehead, back of ears or eyes.
Headaches can be caused by poor posture, tension and stress, trauma such as whiplash,
prolonged poor neck positionings such as in front of computers or arthritic joints in the neck.
Our physiotherapists can accurately and skilfully assess the origin of your pain to determine
if they feel it is likely to be coming from the neck or not. If they feel it is coming from the neck
they will choose a variety of approaches that best suits your problem.
They will give you advice about the likely causes of your headaches and how to best
manage them, as well as assist you in how to prevent them from recurring in the future.
If not, they will liaise with your local doctor to determine other possible causes of your
headaches if further investigations are indicated.

pull or tear ultimately determining the treatment plan. Symptoms of muscle strains include:
Muscle pain
Weakness
Bruising
Muscle tightness
Inability to stretch muscle without pain

19. Work Injuries
Injuries at work can occur to people doing heavy and active occupations that require lifting or
repetitive work as well as to people that do inactive occupations such as desk­bound work.
Common injuries that are seen in the active occupations include lower back /neck strains
from lifting and overuse injuries to muscles and tendons from using the same muscle groups
all day. For example, working on a production line. In the inactive group, common injuries
include postural neck and back pain from sitting most of the day or from poor positioning at
the workstation. Repetitive use of the computer mouse, keyboard and telephone can cause
overuse injuries as well to muscles and tendons.
Our physiotherapists can assist you to recover quickly from your injury and to return to work
as soon as possible.
Education may include about correct lifting techniques, workstation setups, pause breaks
and using different muscle groups and techniques for repetitive tasks.
MVA
Injuries that occur in a motor vehicle accident are very common especially musculo­
ligamentous injuries to many joints of the body, such a “whiplash” injury to the neck, or
fractures to any body part. Providing these injuries are accepted as not being your driving
fault or as a passenger (even if the driver of your car involved was at fault) are usually
compensable that your necessary treatment will be paid for by the insurer involved under
your vehicle registration.
Our physiotherapists can assist you to recover quickly from your injury and to return to

by their doctor are permitted to have physiotherapy treatment for any appropriate
physiotherapy condition they may have. We report back from time to time to their doctor how
the condition is progressing. Those White Card Holders may only have certain conditions
approved by DVA.
CDM (formerly known as EPC)
These chronic conditions require initially to be assessed by a doctor and referred if deemed
appropriate for physiotherapy treatment. Patients need to qualify with certain chronic medical
condition criteria that your local doctor fully understands. If you qualify, Medicare will pay a
significant rebate up to 5 treatments per year for allied health treatment such as
physiotherapy. There is a small gap to pay above this rebate. Reception staff will explain
how this works.

22. Self Management & Home Exercise
Your treatment plan and recovery doesn’t stop when you leave our practice. We are
committed to improving our patient’s conditions as quickly as possible with minimal pain,
which is why we prescribe them with a home exercise and management plan. Our plans are
tailored to each patient’s specific condition, with each one working to target the specific
source of pain.
This helps to both improve recovery time, and empower the patient by giving them control
over their condition. Exercise and stretching are pinnacle parts of home exercise programs.

Our focus is on you!
Finding a dedicated and reliable physiotherapist Adelaide has great impact on your
life. While it fixes the obvious problem of removing aches and pains, physiotherapists also
restore your quality of life altogether. Feeling restricted from doing every day tasks is
incredibly taxing on your lifestyle. You can potentially lose:
Your sense of freedom
Your ability to engage in social activities (like sports)
Your confidence
Weight control.
Because of the mental toll, we we’ve adopted an empathetic and caring approach. We make
it known to our clients that their well­being is our number one priority. Every treatment
method or plan is tailored to suit you; this accounts for factors like schedule and budget.
While we can’t provide instant relief, we promise to relentlessly allocate time and resources
until success has been achieved. For a more personalised approach, choose Ducker
Physio to be your physiotherapist Adelaide!

50. Peripheral joint problems
If you suffer from peripheral joint problems, it’s definitely worthwhile to find a reliable
physiotherapist Adelaide who can provide you with an on­going treatment plan. As an
umbrella term, peripheral joint problems can come in multiple forms. Some of the most
common include osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and fibromyalgia. Physiotherapy has
been proven to be one of the most effective ways to manage and treat arthritis. Although we
can’t remove the problem completely, we can improve your general movement range, help
you keep on top of fitness and reduce the risk of further injury down the track. Ducker
Physio achieve these results through a range of different methods, like cryotherapy,
massage therapy and more. Before advising you on the best course of action, we’ll
undertake a full assessment to determine the location, and type of pain. Call us for more
information of physiotherapy Adelaide for peripheral joints!
The benefits of Cryotherapy
As a full­scope physiotherapist Adelaide, cryotherapy is one of the core service offering
here at Ducker Physio. Alternatively known as cold therapy, it’s the process of using cold
temperatures to treat and mend a variety of issues. While our technology and methods
continue to advance, cryotherapy is an old age technique that has proven successful. There
are different forms of cryotherapy used in clinics, so we’ve chosen a method which is less
intensive than traditional ice bathing, but equally as effective. It’s an integrated active cold
and compression system with the power to improve and accelerate recovery. It’s designed
for acute musculoskeletal injuries, post­op rehabilitation, tissue lesions, inflammation and
more. Cryotherapy’s even been known to stimulate weight loss as a result of manipulated
leptin levels. If you’d like to give our cryotherapy treatment a go to recover from injury or
inflammation, get in touch with our physiotherapist Adelaide!
Ducker Physio strive to provide a service that is unparalleled in our
industry. We’ve undertaken a holistic, yet personalised approach to
ensure our clients get the time and attention they need. The ultimate
