FAQs

Early and accurate diagnosis allows us to manage swelling and pain effectively, provide you with the right advice, and establish a recovery plan immediately. This can often lead to a significantly faster and more successful recovery.
No, you don’t need a referral to see any of our physiotherapists. You can book an appointment directly with us. If your treatment is related to a Workers' Compensation claim, DVA, or a Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plan, then a referral from your GP is required.
Your return to sport will be a careful, criteria-led decision, not a guess based on time alone. We use objective, data-driven testing to measure your strength, mobility, and confidence with sport-specific movements. This ensures we only clear you to return when you are physically and mentally ready, which significantly reduces the risk of re-injury.
