‘Why Choose Physio?’

GPs refer patients to  physiotherapists more  than any other health professionals.  

Physiotherapist are first contact practitioner’s, which means you don’t need a  doctor’s  referral to see one, but they often work with doctors and other allied health professionals to help achieve optimal patient outcomes.   In addition to doctor’s, physiotherapists receive referrals from surgeons for post surgery rehab, personal trainers to work on a clients form through pain and even dentists to assist their patients with jaw pain. 

What are the benefits of physiotherapy intervention?  

• Decrease or resolve pain  
• Assist you in understanding and managing your condition  
• Help you gain long term solutions rather than a quick band aid approach  
• Help you get back to what you want to do and successfully achieve your goals  
• Recover faster
