FAQs

  • For most acute injuries like sprains and strains, we recommend coming in as soon as possible. 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.

  • While all physiotherapists are experts in movement and function, an APA Titled Sports & Exercise Physiotherapist is a formal recognition of their advanced expertise and experience in managing sports-related injuries. They have a deeper understanding of the demands of sport, athletic injuries, and high-performance rehabilitation strategies to get you back in the game safely.

  • Our therapists currently work in a range of clubs from professional to local. You can catch our therapist with the likes of Wests Magpies NSW Cup, Camden Rams and Campbelltown Harlequins. We are lucky enough to also have therapist who have worked at the highest levels in elite sports, helping us bring elite rehab to the Macarthur Region.

  • For lower limb injuries you’ll want to wear loose fitting pants or shorts to allow for the physio to assess the area. For upper limb and shoulder injuries- females may prefer to wear a sports bra and singlet to allow for the physiotherapist to assess the area accurately. Just think what will be easy to move in and allow for adequate assessment.
