Do I need a referral?

No. You do not need a referral to see a physiotherapist.

We are happy to be your first point of call for any injury, condition, or physical goals that you need to have assessed.

 

If you have been referred to us by your doctor or any other third party, please bring your referral and any relevant paperwork such as NDIS or workers compensation details.

 

What do I need to bring or prepare for my first appointment?

1. Any relevant medical information related to your injury e.g. referral, scans, medical reports etc.

2. Wear clothing and footwear suitable for movement/exercise or visual assessment of your injury e.g. wear shorts for a knee injury or a singlet for a shoulder injury.

3. Think about what space in the house would be most suitable for your appointment and ensure this space is clear ahead of your appointment (if you are able to). There should ideally be enough space to move around in freely to fit a treatment table.

 

What should I expect in my first appointment?

During your first appointment your physiotherapist will:

​

• Conduct a thorough examination including history taking and a physical assessment.

• Give you a diagnosis of your condition or impairments.

• Create a detailed management plan to target your condition, impairments, and goals.

So be prepared to move!

How many treatment sessions will I need?

​

The total number of treatment sessions you need as well as the frequency of each session will be variable depending on your type of injury, complexity of pain and work/sporting commitments. On your initial consultation your therapist will give you a rough estimate of number and frequency of sessions required to get you to your goal.
