Nichole Hamilton
Principal PhysiotherapistNichole has over 20 years of clinical experience in private physiotherapy, with expertise in spinal, pelvic, and hip conditions. She has worked in London and Sydney alongside Australia's leading Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Doctors. Nichole founded Synergy Physio on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland in 2007 to provide patients with an expert team of physios offering longer appointments, thorough assessment and treatment with both manual therapy and exercise rehabilitation. She handpicked her entire team to ensure a caring and professional approach to physiotherapy care for all patients. She continues to provide a mentoring approach with her whole team to ensure your care. Nichole's areas of expertise are the spine, pelvic (sacroiliac joint) pain, and hip pain. Her additional training has also included Connect Therapy. Nichole regularly utilises the Connect Therapy approach to determine any factors that may have been adding to your problems that are 'outside the square' and can be missed or overlooked. As a result, Nichole commonly assesses chronic or 'difficult' cases with a fresh biomechanical approach and offers 'second opinion' services for patients and physiotherapists.
Rebecca Reiss
PhysiotherapistRebecca graduated from the University of Queensland in 2013 with first-class honours.

These include: incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, pelvic pain, pregnancy-related pelvic pain, postnatal pelvic floor tears and postnatal stomach muscle separation. Rebecca also has additional training in pessary fitting, which offers women conservative management options for incontinence and prolapse and can help many women avoid surgical management. Rebecca is passionate about helping women prepare for and recover their bodies during and after pregnancy, and has developed her “Birth and Beyond” course for expectant and new mothers. Rebecca completed her honours research thesis on knee osteoarthritis and has an additional wealth of knowledge about both conservative and post-surgical knee rehabilitation.

Rebecca also dedicates her time to mentoring and teaching other physiotherapists.

"Injuries
Conditions We Treat At Peregian Springs.
From arthritic conditions and joint pain, to headaches and post-operative rehabilitation. Call us today on (07) 5448 3369 to better understand how we can assist you on your road to recovery!
^Treatment will differ client-to-client. Please call your local practice for more information.
Back and neck pain is one of the most common complaints at our practice. Sitting at a computer can often cause neck pain with accompanying headaches, shoulder tightness, back pain and buttock or leg pain. We can help treat these problems.
We can treat pain and stiffness in the chest, thoracic spine and rib areas. We can also advise in relaxed breathing exercises.
Growing pains are caused when bones grow quickly, and the soft tissues struggle to keep up. Children and teenagers usually respond very quickly to treatment. If they continue to complain about persistent pain, medical assessment may be necessary.
Headaches and migraines are often triggered by neck pain or stiffness. Our physiotherapists can offer relief through treatment, along with strategies to help minimise the headaches. Combining treatment with a customised physiotherapy exercise program or dry-needling can also be helpful.
Most joint strains respond well to physiotherapy, enabling faster returns to sports, work, and normal daily activities. We commonly treat sprained ankles, sore knees, painful shoulders, tennis elbow, sprained wrists and fingers, SIJ problems, hip joint, groin pain and jaw pain.
Whether the cause is a sudden tear, a strain, or a muscle imbalance issue, physiotherapy can help by promoting efficient healing, assisting strong scar tissue formation, or strengthening and stretching affected muscles.
Overuse injuries generally respond well to physiotherapy, but the key is to get treatment early rather than put up with the pain. Problems such as RSI, tennis elbow and Achilles tendinopathy (a tendon injury) can heal quickly with a specific exercise prog
Many people will experience osteoarthritis as they age, but the severity can vary from morning stiffness and occasional painful episodes to debilitating pain. Physiotherapy can offer immense improvement and, in many cases, complete and long-lasting relief from pain. Strengthening the muscles is paramount to aging joints to keep them moving in an ideal alignment to reduce pain and improve function.
The pelvic floor is the group of muscles at the base of your pelvis, stretching right across from your pubic bone to your tailbone and side-to-side. Treatment involves teaching you basic pelvic floor exercises, advice on good bladder habits and, if necessary, advice on bladder re-training.
Pain in the body is often the result of poor posture. We can assist you or your children in improving the body's posture by showing you how to stretch tight muscles, strengthen weak muscles and improve endurance in these muscles. We are experts in core stability, utilising the deep muscles in your torso and neck to help hold you in a good posture.
Our physiotherapists are experienced in treating all types of sporting injuries. We treat problems including patellofemoral pain, hip and groin problems, bursitis and associated tendinopathy, tennis elbow, wrist and ankle sprains, and plantar fasciitis.
Our experienced Physiotherapists have a range of sub-specialities, which include chronic pain management. We understand the complex nature of chronic pain and the need for a multidisciplinary, biopsychosocial approach. Treatment is tailored and includes education regarding your condition, hands-on therapy, and graded progression of return to functional activities.
Our physiotherapists are trained to perform specialised manoeuvres to assist with dizziness and vertigo. If it is appropriate, you will be given an exercise program that you can do at home. These exercises are individually tailored to your balance symptoms and effectively reduce dizzy symptoms.
