Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a doctor's referral?
No, you can self-refer for private physiotherapy. If you are using health insurance, some providers may require a GP referral first—please check with your insurer.
What should I wear to my appointment?
Please bring shorts if we are assessing a lower limb injury, or a vest top for shoulder/neck issues. Loose, comfortable gym wear is always best.
How many sessions will I need?
This varies significantly based on the injury. After your first assessment, we will provide a clear estimate of the recovery timeline and recommended session frequency.
