Physiotherapy helps restore movement, improve strength, and reduce pain after injury, surgery, or illness. It can also help prevent future problems by improving posture, flexibility and mobility.
Unsure what happens at your appointment? Have a look at some Frequently Asked Questions that have been answered!
1. What is physiotherapy?
2. Do I need a doctor's referral?
In most cases, no. You can book directly with us. However, if your insurance provider requires a referral, we recommend checking with them first.
3. What should I expect on my first visit?
Your physiotherapist will discuss your medical history, assess your movement, and identify problem areas. Together, we'll create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your goals.
4. What should I wear?
Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy movement and access to the area being treated (e.g., shorts for leg injuries, a loose top for shoulder issues).
5. How many sessions will I need?
This varies depending on your condition, goals, and how your body responds. Some people see results in just a few sessions; others may need a longer program.
6. Is treatment painful?
Some techniques may cause mild discomfort, especially if you're recovering from injury or surgery, but we always work within your comfort level.
7. Do you offer home visits?
Yes, we can provide physiotherapy at your home if needed. Please contact us to arrange this service.
8. Is physiotherapy covered by insurance?
Many private health insurers and workplace schemes cover physiotherapy. Please check with your insurance company. We can provide receipts or invoices for your claim.
