Physiotherapy uses movement, manual therapy, and exercise to promote recovery from injury, illness or disability. If you visit a physiotherapist, you’re likely to be encouraged to support your recovery by doing set exercises at home.

Physiotherapy is a regulated allied health profession that uses evidence-based movement, exercise, manual therapy, and education to rehabilitate injuries, manage chronic conditions, and optimise physical performance. Physiotherapists assess and treat musculoskeletal, neurological, and cardiorespiratory conditions.

In Australia, you do not need a GP referral to see a physiotherapist privately. A GP referral may be required for Medicare-funded sessions under a Chronic Disease Management plan. Private health insurance typically covers physiotherapy with no referral needed.

This really depends on your need and level of progress. Minor injuries may take 2-3 sessions to relieve; soft tissue injuries could take longer (6-8 weeks), and severe or chronic conditions could take two or more months. Physiotherapy is always tailored to individual needs, so it’s best to ask your physiotherapist how many sessions you’re likely to require.

Physiotherapy appointments typically cost between €35 and €35 per session. Health fund rebates and Medicare plans may reduce out-of-pocket costs. Fresha shows upfront pricing before you book.

It depends: some physiotherapy can be done at home (your physiotherapist is likely to give you exercises to practise at home anyway); but some treatments may need to be carried out at your physiotherapist’s clinic.
