How Does Physiotherapy Work?

By assessing how your body moves, your physiotherapist may be able to identify the underlying cause of your concern and develop a treatment plan tailored to your goals and lifestyle.

A range of treatment options may be used, including:

Manual Therapy

Gentle manipulation of the muscles and joints may help to relieve discomfort and support improved mobility.

Exercise Programs

A personalised exercise programme may help build strength and flexibility.

Shockwave Therapy

Through the application of high-energy sound waves, shockwave therapy may help stimulate tissue repair and support recovery.

Therapeutic Ultrasound

Targeted sound waves applied to the affected area may assist in supporting recovery and managing inflammation.

Dry Needling

Dry needling uses fine needles directed at specific muscle points to help release tension in tight muscles and may assist in reducing discomfort.

Clinical Reformer Pilates

Through guided movement on the reformer, Clinical reformer pilates may help support improved movement patterns and long-term recovery.

Common Questions About Cammeray Physiotherapy

Do I need a GP referral to see a physiotherapist?

No referral is required. You are welcome to book directly with our physiotherapists at any time that suits you.

How long does a physiotherapy session take?

Your initial consultation will generally take between 45 and 60 minutes. Follow-up sessions are typically 30 to 45 minutes, depending on your treatment needs.

What is the best thing to wear to a physiotherapy appointment?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothing that allows for easy movement and access to the affected area. Activewear or loose-fitting clothes work well.

Can I claim physiotherapy through private health insurance?

If physiotherapy is included in your extras cover, you may be eligible to claim a rebate on the spot through HICAPS at our Cremorne and Balgowlah clinics.

Are Medicare CDM or EPC referrals accepted?

Yes, we accept Medicare CDM/EPC referrals from your GP. If you hold a valid referral, you may claim a Medicare rebate for up to five sessions per calendar year. Please note that a small gap fee will remain applicable.

Is there an additional cost for shockwave therapy?

Where shockwave therapy is recommended as part of your care, a $30 surcharge per session will be applied.

Do you treat workers' compensation or CTP (car accident) claims?

Yes, DX Physio accepts both workers’ compensation and CTP claims. Please have your claim number and relevant documentation ready to bring to your first appointment.

How often should I come in for treatment?

The frequency of your visits will depend on your condition and goals. Following your initial assessment, your physiotherapist will provide a tailored treatment plan that includes a recommended visit schedule.

Is manual therapy provided as part of a standard physiotherapy consultation?

Where clinically appropriate, hands-on manual therapy is incorporated into your physiotherapy consultation at no additional cost.

Is dry needling uncomfortable?

Fine needles are inserted into targeted muscle points during dry needling, which some individuals may find mildly uncomfortable. Your physiotherapist will monitor your comfort throughout the session and adjust as needed.

Do your physiotherapists manage sports injuries?

Our physiotherapists have experience in assessing and managing a broad range of sports and exercise-related injuries. Whether you are a competitive athlete or simply looking to stay active, we’ll collaborate with you to develop a personalised care plan to support your recovery.

May physiotherapy help prevent future injuries?

Beyond managing existing injuries, physiotherapy may also play a valuable role in helping you understand how your body moves, supporting better posture, and improving movement efficiency. This approach may assist in reducing the likelihood of future injuries.

Can regular physiotherapy help me stay active and healthy?

The potential benefits of physiotherapy extend beyond injury management. Regular physiotherapy may assist you in moving more efficiently, managing muscle tightness, and working toward better posture, all of which may support a healthier, more active lifestyle over time.
