FAQ’s

In Australia, you can directly access a physiotherapist without a referral from a doctor. However, some insurance providers or specific programs may require a referral for coverage (such as an EPC referral for medicare), so it's best to check with your insurance company or relevant organisation beforehand.

Physiotherapy, also known as physical therapy, is a healthcare profession focused on improving and restoring physical function, mobility, and overall well-being. It involves the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of a wide range of musculoskeletal, neurological, and cardiorespiratory conditions through various therapeutic techniques.

Physiotherapy aims to alleviate pain, improve mobility, restore function, and enhance quality of life. Through tailored treatment plans, physiotherapists utilize techniques such as manual therapy, exercise prescription, electrotherapy, acupuncture, and education to address specific needs and goals. They work closely with patients to facilitate recovery, manage chronic conditions, and prevent future injuries.

The number of physiotherapy sessions required varies based on your condition, severity, individual progress, and treatment goals. Your physiotherapist will assess your needs and develop a personalised treatment plan, which may include an estimated number of sessions. Regular reassessments will help determine the effectiveness of the treatment and the need for further sessions.
