Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a referral to start physiotherapy?

+

Generally, no referral is necessary. However, some health funds or care programs may require a doctor’s note for rebates. Check with your insurer or ask our team for clarification.

What does a typical physiotherapy session involve?

+

Each session often begins with a progress check, followed by targeted exercises, hands-on therapy, or modalities like TENS or ultrasound, depending on your unique needs.

How quickly will I see results?

+

This varies by individual. Some notice relief after just a few sessions, while those with complex or chronic issues may need a longer treatment timeline for significant improvement.

Is physiotherapy only for injuries, or can it help chronic conditions too?

+

Physiotherapy addresses both acute injuries and chronic conditions. Whether you’ve been dealing with long-term back pain or just sprained your ankle, a tailored therapy plan can help.

I've tried physiotherapy before. Can you help me?

+

Absolutely. We’ll review your past treatments—what worked, what didn’t—and adapt your plan. Our goal is to optimize the approach, ensuring you see better results this time around.

Can physiotherapy help me avoid surgery?

+

Many patients can delay or even avoid surgical procedures by improving their strength, mobility, and posture through consistent physiotherapy and lifestyle changes. If surgery is still needed, therapy can enhance recovery.

How do I track progress between sessions?

+

Your therapist provides home exercises and self-assessment tips so you can monitor mobility and pain levels. We’ll review these at each session and tweak your routine as needed.

Will my health insurance cover physiotherapy?

+

Coverage depends on your insurer and plan. Some policies include rebates for physiotherapy, while others don’t. Our admin team can help clarify any payment details or claims processes.

What should I wear to physiotherapy sessions?

+

Loose, comfortable clothing or athletic wear is best. Your therapist may need to assess specific areas, so attire that allows easy movement is ideal.

Can I combine physiotherapy with other treatments?

+

Yes. Physiotherapy often works hand-in-hand with treatments like massage, chiropractic care, or orthopaedic consultations. Just keep us informed about your full care plan to ensure comprehensive support.
