FAQ’s Physiotherapy & Treatments
We’ve compiled answers to the most common questions about physiotherapy, what to expect, and how we can help you. If you have any other concerns, feel free to get in touch, our team is happy to help!
Getting Started with Physiotherapy
If you’re experiencing pain, stiffness, weakness, or limited mobility affecting your daily life, physiotherapy can help. Our expert team will assess your condition and create a personalised treatment plan to get you back to feeling your best.
No, you don’t need a referral. You can book an appointment directly. However, some insurance providers may require a referral for reimbursement.
Your first appointment includes:
- A thorough assessment of your condition, medical history, and movement patterns
- A clear explanation of your diagnosis and a customised treatment plan
- Hands-on treatment or prescribed exercises to start your recovery immediately
We’ll also discuss your goals and any concerns to ensure the best possible outcome.
Initial assessments: 45 minutes
Follow-up treatments: Typically 30-45 minutes
This varies depending on your condition and how your body responds to treatment. Some patients feel significant improvement in just a few sessions, while chronic or complex cases may need a more extended approach. We’ll give you a clearer idea after your assessment.
Conditions We Treat
Physiotherapy is highly effective for:
- Musculoskeletal issues – Back pain, joint pain, arthritis, sprains, and fractures
- Sports injuries – Muscle strains, ligament injuries, and post-game recovery
- Men’s health physiotherapy – Erectile dysfunction, chronic pelvic pain, post-prostate surgery rehab
- Post-surgical recovery – Helping you heal faster and regain strength
- Chronic pain management – Improving quality of life for persistent pain conditions
Absolutely! In many cases, physiotherapy can reduce pain, improve mobility, and strengthen your body to the point where surgery isn’t needed. If surgery is unavoidable, we also offer pre-surgical conditioning and post-operative rehabilitation to speed up recovery.
Treatments & Techniques
What types of treatments do you offer?
We take a comprehensive approach to treatment, combining:
- Hands-on therapy – Manual therapy, soft tissue release, joint mobilisation
- Exercise-based rehabilitation – Strengthening, mobility training, and injury prevention
- Advanced technologies – Shockwave therapy, high-powered laser therapy, hydrotherapy
Our philosophy is simple: the right combination of expert hands-on care, advanced technology, and tailored exercise plans leads to the best results.
- Conventional physiotherapy: Focuses on manual therapy, strengthening exercises, and movement correction.
- Shockwave therapy: Uses acoustic waves to break down scar tissue, accelerate healing, and relieve chronic pain.
- High-powered laser therapy: Uses light energy to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and speed up tissue recovery.
Many patients combine these treatments for faster and more effective results.
Yes! All our treatments are clinically proven, safe, and performed by highly trained professionals. Some may cause mild discomfort, but we’ll always adjust the intensity for your comfort.
Most treatments are pain-free, but techniques like deep tissue massage or shockwave therapy can cause temporary discomfort. Any soreness is usually mild and fades quickly.
This depends on your condition. Some patients feel relief within a few sessions, while others may need several weeks for full recovery. We continuously monitor your progress and adjust treatment accordingly.
Insurance & Costs
Many insurance providers cover physiotherapy. However, coverage varies, and some advanced treatments (e.g., High-Powered Laser Therapy) may not be included. We recommend checking with your insurer, and we’re happy to provide receipts for reimbursement.
Fees depend on the type of treatment you need. You can find full pricing details on our Fees page or contact us directly.
Maximising Your Recovery
Your recovery doesn’t end when you leave the clinic! To get the best results, we recommend:
- Following your home exercise plan consistently
- Staying active but avoiding movements that aggravate your condition
- Eating a balanced diet to support healing
- Applying ice or heat therapy as advised
This depends on your injury. Your therapist will guide you on safe modifications or whether you should temporarily rest to prevent further strain.
We track your improvement through:
- Pain reduction
- Mobility and strength assessments
- Your ability to return to daily activities
Many patients also notice improved sleep, posture, and overall well-being.
Prevention is just as important as treatment! We’ll equip you with:
- Strengthening exercises to keep problem areas strong
- Proper movement techniques to avoid strain
- Posture and ergonomic advice for long-term wellness
Absolutely! Our approach is not just about fixing the pain but keeping it from coming back. Regular check-ins, strength training, and movement corrections can help you stay injury-free.
Practical Questions
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows movement.
- Shorts are ideal for lower body treatments
- Sleeveless tops are great for shoulder or arm treatments
Mild soreness is normal, especially after hands-on treatment or exercise. Applying ice or heat and staying gently active can help. If pain persists, contact us.
Each person’s needs are different, but some general tips include:
- Keeping up with your prescribed exercises
- Avoiding repetitive strain or poor posture
- Staying active but listening to your body
