Dietetics Services

Nutrition assessment and advice to support health conditions, weight management, and overall wellbeing.

Evidence-Based Nutrition for Long-Term Health

Nutrition plays a vital role in how your body functions, heals, and manages chronic conditions. At PhysiMed Health, our Dietetics services focus on using food as a powerful tool to improve health, manage medical conditions, and support long-term wellbeing.

Our dietetics care is delivered by an Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD)—the highest professional credential for dietitians in Australia. APDs undergo extensive university training and ongoing professional development, ensuring your nutrition advice is current, safe, and evidence-based.

What Does a Dietitian Do?

Dietitians are trained experts in the relationship between food, health, and disease. They work with individuals to understand how nutrition affects their condition and help implement practical dietary changes that support better health outcomes.

Rather than prescribing rigid meal plans, our approach focuses on:

  • Small, achievable changes

  • Sustainable eating habits

  • Personalised strategies aligned with your lifestyle and goals

This ensures improvements are realistic, maintainable, and effective over the long term.

Personalised Nutrition Care

At PhysiMed Health, dietetic consultations are tailored to your unique health needs, medical history, and personal goals. Your dietitian will assess your current eating patterns, lifestyle, and health concerns, then guide you through practical nutrition strategies that fit seamlessly into everyday life.

Frequently asked questions

Dry Needling is a procedure whereby solid filament (acupuncture) needles are inserted into the skin and muscle directly at a myofascial triggerpoint. A myofascial triggerpoint (sometimes known as a knot) consists of multiple contraction knots, which are related to the production and maintenance of the pain cycle. The approach is based on Western anatomical and neurophysiological principles which are not to be confused with the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) technique of acupuncture (Travell & Simons 1999).
Dry needling can be used for a variety of musculoskeletal problems. Muscles are thought to be a primary contributing factor to the symptoms. Conditions which respond to dry needling include, but are not limited to: • Headaches • Frozen Shoulder • Tennis elbow • Carpal tunnel syndrome • Golfer’s elbow • Buttock pain • Leg pain • Hamstring strains • Shin splints • Muscle Spasms • Fibromyalgia • Sciatic Pain • Hip Pain • Knee Pain • Repetitive Strain Injuries
A spasmed muscle becomes a damaged muscle. Spasm reduces blood flow in the muscle. This means less oxygen and nutrients to the muscle. Muscle fibres die off and get replaced by fibrous scar tissue. This in turn holds the muscle tight, prevents muscle metabolites from leaving the muscle and causes continued spasm and pain. Putting a needle into a spasmed muscle causes the muscle to relax, this can be seen with an electromyogram (EMG).
The insertion of the needle is typically not felt. During treatment, patients commonly experience heaviness in the limbs or a pleasant feeling of relaxation.
Yes, only sterile disposable needles are used.
More frequently, Dry Needling is needed at the beginning to help break the pain cycle then other treatment modalities are introduced.
