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 can help improve issues with the bones, joints and soft tissue (e.g. back pain, sports injuries). It can also aid movement problems brought about from brain or nerve trauma including strokes and multiple sclerosis. If you suffer from cystic fibrosis, breathing, and heart and circulation issues, you may also benefit from physiotherapy.

Fresha lists physiotherapy clinics and practitioners, all with verified client reviews. Sort by rating to find the most recommended providers near you.

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.

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.
