Frequently Asked Questions

What is Physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession dedicated to diagnosing, treating, and preventing musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions that affect movement and function. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, or seeking to improve your physical performance, physiotherapy provides evidence-based treatments to help you move more effectively and feel stronger.
How does Physiotherapy work?

Physiotherapy works by identifying the root cause of your symptoms and developing a personalised treatment plan. This may include:

  • Manual Therapy: Hands-on techniques to mobilise joints and soft tissues.
  • Exercise Prescription: Tailored exercises to improve strength, flexibility, and coordination.
  • Education: Guidance on posture, movement patterns, and lifestyle modifications.
  • Advanced Modalities: Use of diagnostic ultrasound, shockwave therapy, and other technologies when appropriate.

The goal is to restore optimal movement, alleviate pain, and prevent future issues.

When should I seek Physiotherapy?

Consider seeking physiotherapy if you experience:

  • Persistent or recurring pain in muscles, joints, or the spine.
  • Difficulty performing daily activities or sports.
  • Recent injury or surgery requiring rehabilitation.
  • Stiffness, weakness, or reduced mobility.

Early intervention often leads to quicker recovery and better long-term outcomes.

How long does Physiotherapy take?

The duration of physiotherapy varies based on the condition and individual progress. Typically:

  • Initial Assessment: Approximately 45/60 minutes.
  • Follow-Up Sessions: Generally 30minutes.
  • Course of Treatment: Many patients notice improvement within 4–6 sessions. Chronic or complex conditions may require a more extended treatment plan.

See our prices. 

Your physiotherapist will provide an estimated timeline based on your specific needs.

What is the difference between a Physiotherapist and a Chiropractor?

The main differences lie in their treatment philosophies and techniques:

  • Physiotherapists: Utilise a combination of manual therapy, exercise, and education to treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions. They focus on long-term rehabilitation and prevention.
  • Chiropractors primarily focus on spinal adjustments and manipulation to treat musculoskeletal pain, particularly in the back and neck.

Both aim to improve function and reduce pain, but physiotherapy offers a broader approach to musculoskeletal health.

Can I refer myself to a Physiotherapist?

Yes, you can self-refer to a physiotherapist without a GP referral. This allows you to access treatment more quickly and begin your recovery process sooner. However, if you have private health insurance, it’s advisable to check with your provider regarding their referral requirements.

Should you do Physiotherapy if it hurts?

It’s common to experience some discomfort during physiotherapy, especially when addressing areas of stiffness or weakness. However, any pain should be within a tolerable range and should not worsen after the session. Always communicate openly with your physiotherapist about your pain levels so they can adjust treatment accordingly.
