Exercise Rehabilitation FAQs

Exercise Rehabilitation FAQs

Do I need a referral?

No. You can book directly. If needed, we can liaise with your GP or specialist.

Do you treat neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, motor neurone disease or stroke?
We’re happy to help where appropriate. Because neurological conditions can involve more complex needs, we often recommend a Neurophysio who has specific training in equipment prescription, home modifications, splinting and spasticity management.
If you’re stable and can transfer safely with minimal assistance, we may be able to continue supporting you with exercise and strengthening. Please get in touch and we’ll help you work out the best next step.

Can I claim private health rebates?

In many cases, yes — supervised physiotherapy sessions are often claimable (cover depends on your fund and level).

How many sessions will I need?

That depends on your injury, goals, and starting point. We’ll give you a clear plan after your initial assessment.

What if I flare up after exercise?

Mild muscle soreness can be normal. If symptoms flare, we adjust intensity, technique, or exercise choice and guide you on pacing.
