Do I need a referral?
Not necessary, but helpful. A GP chronic disease management plan can allow for a rebate of around $63.40 per eligible service, so it's worth discussing with your GP. An out of pocket fee will still apply.
What is physiotherapy?
Hands-on, evidence-based care for pain, injury, and movement problems. It's about helping your body move and function the way it's meant to, whether that's recovering from an injury or surgery, or working through pain that's built up over time.
What can I expect at my first appointment?
We start by taking the time to properly understand what the problem is, not just where it hurts. From there, a thorough assessment to work out what's actually going on and why, followed by hands-on treatment, and a progressive rehabilitation program built around your real life.
Can I claim through my health fund?
Yes, we accept all private health insurance providers and are generally able to offer on the spot claiming for your consultation. If for any reason we're not able to provide on the spot claiming, we can print or email a copy of your invoice for you to claim through your provider yourself after the consultation.
Do you see TAC and WorkCover clients?
Yes, we see both TAC and WorkCover clients. Please bring your claim number and your case manager's details to your first appointment, and let us know when booking so we can set up your account correctly.
Is there a discount for pensioner or Health Care Card holders?
Yes, if you are a pensioner or Health Care Card holder, please don’t hesitate to make us aware and we will offer you a 15% discount off all of our individual services
What should I wear?
Whatever lets you move comfortably, activewear or loose clothing is ideal, especially if we're assessing a joint or muscle group that's easier to look at uncovered.
Why do regular treatments matter?
Physiotherapy isn't just for when something's already gone wrong. Regular treatment helps catch small issues, like a tight hip or an overloaded shoulder, before they turn into the kind of pain that sidelines you. Staying ahead of problems is almost always easier than fixing them once they've taken hold.
