Patrina Tay is a physiotherapist based in Como, WA. Her practice is at Suite 37, 11 Preston Street, Como WA 6152. She helps people with day-to-day aches and pains, and with getting back to the things they want to do.
Physiotherapy can be useful when a joint feels stiff, sore, or not moving the way it should. In many cases, sessions focus on building up safe strength and movement. Heat and cold therapy can also be used to help settle discomfort, especially after activity or when symptoms flare up.
Patrina also uses hands-on joint mobilisation. This type of treatment aims to improve how a joint moves and how it feels. It’s often part of a bigger plan, not the only thing. Over time, the goal is usually to help your body cope better and to make daily movement more comfortable.
Exercises are a big part of her approach. Physical therapy exercises can be tailored to the problem, and they’re meant to be practical. You might be given things to do at the clinic, and also a home routine to support progress between visits. The pace depends on what’s going on and what feels manageable.
At times, ultrasound therapy is used as well. This can be part of the care plan for certain types of pain and soft tissue issues. It’s used alongside other treatment and exercise, with the focus staying on what helps you function better.
Care is kept simple and grounded. Sessions usually look at your symptoms, how you’re moving, and what makes things better or worse. Then the plan is adjusted as you go. If you’ve been dealing with pain for a while, or if it’s showing up after a change in activity, physiotherapy can help you work out the next steps.
Patrina’s practice is there to support people who want clear, practical rehab. Whether the issue is related to stiffness, recovery, or general physical discomfort, the focus stays on safe movement and steady improvement. The small steps matter, and the plan can be built around your routine and goals.
