We've Answered the Most Common Questions New Clients Often Ask...
Do I need a referral from a doctor?
No. You do not need a referral from a doctor for physiotherapy. If your condition is accident-related, we can also register your claim for you.
Can I claim under my private health fund on the spot?
For Southern Cross-insured clients, we can claim directly using their EasyClaim system. We are also able to look up your entitlements to see what cover you have available on the spot. For all other insurers, we can provide you with a receipt for you to complete the claim later.
For ACC injuries/conditions, we claim the portion that ACC covers directly with ACC.
How do I know if my condition is covered by ACC?
During your first visit, the physiotherapist will assess your injury and determine if it's ACC-eligible. If so, they'll lodge a claim for you with ACC. ACC reviews it and informs you if it’s accepted, sometimes within minutes.
This will mean ACC will cover some of the cost of your physiotherapy session. If unsure, consult your physiotherapist or ACC directly.
What conditions do you treat?
Physiotherapists treat a wide range of conditions such as sports injuries, joint pain, back pain, post-operative rehabilitation, neurological conditions, pelvic health, vestibular conditions and more.
What should I expect during the initial assessment?
The initial assessment involves discussing your medical history, current symptoms, performing physical tests, and developing a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions varies based on individual needs and the nature of the condition. It will be discussed during the assessment, and the treatment plan will be adjusted accordingly.
What types of treatments do you offer?
Physiotherapy treatments may include exercises, manual therapy, ultrasound, heat/cold therapy, electrical stimulation, and education on posture and ergonomics.
Will I be given exercises to do at home?
Yes, home exercises are often an integral part of treatment. They help speed up recovery and maintain progress between sessions.
How long will it take to see improvement?
Improvement timelines vary depending on the condition, individual factors, and adherence to the treatment plan. Consistency and following the therapist's advice can expedite progress.
What if I have pain during or after treatment?
It's normal to experience some discomfort during or after certain treatments or exercises. However, if pain is severe or persistent, it's essential to inform the physiotherapist for adjustments to the plan.
How can I prevent this injury from recurring?
Physiotherapists provide guidance on injury prevention strategies, including exercises, lifestyle modifications, and ergonomic advice to reduce the risk of re-injury.
What should I wear to my sessions?
Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy movement and access to the area being treated. Sometimes, you might be asked to change into specific attire, so it's good to inquire beforehand.
Please note that these FAQs provide general information and should not replace personalised advice from a qualified healthcare professional. It is important to consult with a trusted physiotherapist to assess your individual case and determine the most suitable treatment plan for your condition.
