If you don’t find the answer you need, feel free to contact us.
No, you don't need a referral to book a physiotherapy appointment. However, if you're attending under DVA, Medicare or another third-party funding arrangement, a referral may be required.
We assess and treat a wide range of musculoskeletal injuries and conditions, including sports injuries, muscle strains, joint pain, tendon injuries, post-surgical rehabilitation and persistent pain. Our treatment focuses on addressing your symptoms, restoring function and building long-term physical capacity.
During your initial assessment, we employ a SMEAC operational command to develop a clear, concise plan:
SITUATION - Injury and medical history discussion, movement assessment (live or self-guided) and fitness testing.
MISSION - Establish specific goals at each phase of the program to track progress and performance.
EXECUTION - Outlining each phase of your personalised rehab and training plan including the training split, workouts and recovery.
ADMINISTRATION - Setting any individual tasks that may assist in rehab and training for faster results.
Command & Signals - Creating your next appointment date/time and setting up a channel for regular communication.
Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely and provides access to the injured area. If available, bring any relevant scans, medical reports, referral letters or surgical documentation.
Yes. Depending on your condition, treatment may include manual therapy, soft tissue massage, dry needling and joint mobilisation. We combine hands-on treatment with targeted exercise rehabilitation to support both short-term symptom relief and long-term recovery.
The number of sessions depends on your injury, symptoms and rehabilitation goals. During your initial appointment, we'll discuss your expected recovery timeframe and develop a treatment plan that suits your needs.
In many cases, yes! Our approach focuses on modifying your training rather than unnecessarily stopping exercise altogether. We'll help you identify what you can safely continue doing while progressively rebuilding strength, mobility and physical capacity.
