Frequently Asked Questions
What is physiotherapy?
The Australian Physiotherapy association defines physiotherapy as a healthcare profession that assesses, diagnoses, treats, and works to prevent disease and disability through physical means. Physiotherapists are trained in movement and function who work in partnership with their patients, assisting them to overcome movement disorders, which may have been present from birth, acquired through accident or injury, or are the result of ageing or life-changing events.

How can physiotherapy help me?
Physiotherapy can help you recover from injury, reduce pain and stiffness, and increase mobility. A physiotherapist can also help you prevent further injury by listening to your needs and working with you to plan the most appropriate treatment for your condition, including setting goals and treatment outcomes.
Do I need a doctor's referral to see a physiotherapist?
As first-contact practitioners, a doctor’s referral is not always necessary to see a physiotherapist. Physiotherapists, doctors, and other health professionals will often work as part of a team to plan and manage treatment for a specific condition. You will, however, need a doctor's referral if you have a WorkCover claim, are a DVA card holder or are accessing treatment through the Medicare E.P.C programme.
What sort of treatment do physiotherapists use?
Physiotherapists are trained to assess your condition, diagnose the problem, and help you understand what’s wrong. Your treatment plan will take into account your lifestyle, activities, and general health.
The following are common treatment methods physiotherapists may use:
- Exercise programs to improve mobility and strengthen muscles
- Joint manipulation and mobilisation to reduce pain and stiffness
- Muscle re-education to improve control
- Airway clearance techniques and breathing exercises
- Soft tissue mobilisation (massage)
- Hydrotherapy (water based therapy) and electrotherapy (e.g. ultrasound, TENS)
- Assistance with use of aids, splints, crutches, walking sticks and wheelchairs.

How Our Appointments Work
We typically start with an initial consultation to assess mobility, movement concerns and physical function. Our physiotherapists evaluate movement patterns, strength, and any areas of discomfort before developing a treatment approach. Assessments may also include discussions about daily activities, workplace demands or functional limitations. Depending on the assessment, sessions may include manual therapy, targeted exercises, or structured rehabilitation programs to address movement concerns or physical strain.
We provide pre and post-operative rehabilitation programs for individuals recovering from or preparing for surgery. Our team also offers workplace and functional capacity assessments for employment or mobility-related evaluations. Chest physiotherapy services are available for individuals with respiratory concerns.
We can also supply physiotherapy products such as braces, orthopaedic supports, exercise equipment, and recovery aids. Our physiotherapists follow up-to-date approaches based on each individual’s physical assessment and mobility needs. Appointments are designed to provide thorough assessments, discussions about movement concerns, and guidance on exercise modifications or injury prevention strategies.
