COMMON QUESTIONS

Musculoskeletal physio FAQs

Do I need a referral for musculoskeletal physiotherapy?

No — you can book directly without a GP referral. A referral is only required if you're claiming under Medicare's Chronic Disease Management plan, Workers Compensation or CTP.

How many sessions will I need?

Most patients notice a change within 2–3 visits. A full rehabilitation plan for musculoskeletal conditions typically runs 4–8 sessions, depending on severity and how long the issue has been present.

Is dry needling included in musculoskeletal treatment?

Dry needling may be used as part of your hands-on treatment where appropriate, alongside joint mobilisation and soft tissue therapy — always explained and consented to before use.

Will my health fund cover the cost?

We offer on-the-spot HICAPS claiming for most major private health funds, so your rebate is calculated and deducted at checkout.

What should I wear to my appointment?

Comfortable, flexible clothing that allows the affected area to be assessed and moved freely — shorts for hip/knee issues, a singlet or loose top for shoulder/neck issues.
