What do I need to know?

What is a Physiotherapist?

Physiotherapists are university trained and are experts in injury diagnosis, injury treatment, exercise prescription, injury prevention, rehabilitation and many other areas of sport and health & fitness.

What do I need to bring?

Be prepared to provide your previous medical or surgical history.  If you have them and they are relevant please bring x-ray/MRI reports and a list of medications. You may also wish to bring shorts and a t-shirt.

How many visits will I need?

The number of treatments will vary depending on the problem and individual. After a thorough assessment, the physiotherapist will discuss your treatment plan for the rehabilitation process.

What should I wear to my appointment

If we are treating your feet you will not be asked to undress but if we are treating your spine, you will be more comfortable in modest underwear or shorts.

Do I have to be referred by a doctor?

No, physiotherapists can assess and treat without referral by a doctor.
