Mastitis Treatment
Mastitis is a common condition that occurs when breastfeeding, where the milk ducts become inflamed.

Cupping
Cupping is a great addition to hands-on treatment for muscular pain and tightness. Small plastic cups are used with a hand pump to suction the skin and encourage fresh blood supply to the area, which promotes natural healing. It is also pregnancy-safe!​
Meet Sophie
Meet Sophie, the owner and physiotherapist behind Sunny Side Physio in Somerton Park.
Sophie has been a physio for almost seven years now, and is passionate about helping people overcome pain, recover from injuries and get back to doing what they love. She approaches physiotherapy like a puzzle, taking the time to understand each person's concerns, identify the contributing factors and developing an individualised plan going forwards.
When she's not helping patients move better, you'll usually find her spending time with her family, enjoying a coffee with friends, spending time at the beach or reading her kindle.
