Care beyond your consultation
Our Physiotherapy consultations focus on you as a whole. We listen to your story to understand what has brought you to seek help and connect all your information to factor in any elements impacting your symptoms, vitality and recovery.
Our longer appointment times ensure there’s time to understand your needs, diagnose the root cause of pain, provide treatment and offer an accurate prognosis so that you understand what’s ahead. We collaborate with you to formulate a management plan to recover.
After your consultation, we touch base to check how you are and ensure you have everything you need to support recovery between consults. We communicate with your health team (with your permission), so everyone involved in your care understands your management plan.
We can support you to improve strength, fitness and tolerance to activity through clear guidelines, exercise prescription (what is realistic for you) and easy to follow video or written programs via email. By entrusting us with your care, you will:
Understand your symptoms
Be provided with treatment for symptom relief
Be empowered to make decisions on what activities are safe to continue or reduce
Have a clear understanding of how long it will take to improve.

A Physiotherapist is trained to assess and diagnose acute injuries (those that have just occurred), as well as symptoms that have been present for a long time. Often the sooner you understand your symptoms and how best to manage it, the better the outcome.
You don’t need a referral to see us, you can often save time and money coming to us first, and we can advise if further testing or advice from your GP or a specialist is required.
