Miss Annie Louisa Janet O'brien is a physiotherapist based in Picton, NSW. She works from 28 Menangle St, Picton NSW 2571, helping people move better and feel more comfortable in day-to-day life.
Physiotherapy can help when your body feels “off” in small ways, like stiffness, poor posture, or pain that comes back after you do normal things. In many cases, it also helps after an injury, or when your walking or movement has changed. Annie looks at how you move as a whole, not just one spot that hurts.
Her sessions often include physical therapy exercises that fit your routine and your current level. These exercises are meant to build strength, improve control, and help you get back to what you want to do. Sometimes the plan is about gentle starts, and then gradually building from there as your body adapts.
She also uses hands-on treatment like manual therapy and joint mobilisation. This can be useful when a joint is stiff, not moving smoothly, or when you feel tight through certain areas. At times, getting that movement going better can make it easier to move without as much strain.
Posture can play a big part in how you feel, especially if you sit a lot, work at a desk, or spend time looking down at your phone. Annie focuses on posture correction in a practical way, so it's not just “sit up straight” advice. Instead, it's about finding what helps your back, neck, shoulders, and hips work together more calmly.
For people who are changing how they walk, or who feel unsteady, gait training can be part of the treatment. This is about stepping pattern, balance, and safe movement. It can be especially helpful when pain, weakness, or stiffness is affecting your confidence on your feet.
Annie's approach is usually steady and realistic. Over time, small changes add up. You'll often leave sessions with clear next steps—things to practise, and simple ideas to support your recovery between visits.
