Question 1

What is physiotherapy and how can it help me?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

What can I expect during a physiotherapy session?

Accepted Answer

You’ll have an initial consultation before treatment begins to allow your physiotherapist to understand exactly what’s wrong and how best they can help you. During treatment, your physiotherapist might use their hands to relieve pain and improve your body’s movement, give you exercises to strengthen and boost your mobility and health, and make suggestions on changes you can make at home or work to prevent further injury or improve posture.

Question 3

What is physiotherapy?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

Do I need a referral to see a physiotherapist?

Accepted Answer

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.
