Physiotherapy
A modern approach to Physiotherapy – No churn and burn appointments, no time wasted with heat packs or ineffective treatments.
Individualised attention – no double bookings. Your time is valuable. We want you to recover from injury and we want to prevent recurrence. We will not create problems where problems do not lie and we will not over treat.
Health funds accepted, rebates available on the spot. Work Cover accepted. EPC accepted (expect to pay a gap).
Initial Physiotherapy Assessments are 45 minutes in length and for new patients at The Studio or previous patients with a new injury.
Follow up appointments are 30 minutes in length and designed to further treat your complaint and build on your progress.
The team of Studio Physiotherapists provide thorough assessment, diagnosis and treatment of various musculoskeletal complaints enabling a full and speedy recovery and the prevention of injury recurrence. Patient care and satisfaction are the primary focus of The Studio's practitioners, all consults are 1:1 exclusively.
A variety of manual therapy approaches are utilised to manage your symptoms:

Please specify if you have more than one area of complaint, as we allow extra time for such appointments. At times an hour might be required for your particular injuries/concerns. We’re happy to advise you if unsure what appointment time is best for you.
