What is Involved in a Physiotherapy Session?

By looking at how your body moves, your physiotherapist may identify the underlying cause of your concern and tailor a treatment plan to suit your goals and lifestyle.

Treatments may include:

Manual Therapy

Through gentle manipulation of muscles and joints, manual therapy may help reduce pain and work toward improving your mobility.

Exercise Programs

A personalised exercise programme may help build strength and flexibility.

Shockwave Therapy

Using high-energy sound waves, shockwave therapy may help stimulate tissue and support the recovery process.

Therapeutic Ultrasound

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

Dry Needling

Dry needling involves the application of fine needles to targeted muscle points, which may help release muscle tension and assist in reducing pain.

Clinical Reformer Pilates

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

First appointments are usually between 45 and 60 minutes in length. Follow-up sessions generally take between 30 and 45 minutes, depending on the nature of your treatment plan.

What clothing is recommended for a physiotherapy session?

Comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely and provides easy access to the affected area is best. Activewear or loose-fitting clothes are a great option.

Yes. If you have extras cover that includes physiotherapy, you may claim a rebate on the spot via HICAPS at both our Cremorne and Balgowlah clinics.

Can I use a Medicare Chronic Disease Management plan for physiotherapy?

We do accept Medicare CDM/EPC referrals from your GP. With a valid referral, you may be eligible to claim a Medicare rebate for up to five sessions per calendar year. Please be aware that a small gap fee will still apply.

Yes. If shockwave therapy is recommended as part of your treatment, there is a $30 surcharge per session.

Both workers’ compensation and CTP claims are accepted at DX Physio. Please bring your claim number and relevant documentation to your first appointment.

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 included in the consultation?

Manual therapy is included as part of your physiotherapy consultation when it is considered clinically necessary by your physiotherapist.

What does dry needling feel like?

Do you offer sports physiotherapy?

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.

Can physiotherapy play a role in preventing injuries?

Physiotherapy is not only beneficial for managing existing injuries. It may also help you develop a better understanding of your body, improve your posture, and move more efficiently, which may in turn help reduce the risk of future injuries.

Can physiotherapy help me maintain a healthy, active lifestyle?

Physiotherapy isn’t only for when an injury occurs. Attending regular physiotherapy sessions may help support more efficient movement, assist in managing muscle tightness, and contribute to improved posture, helping you maintain a healthier and more active life long term.
