Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession that focuses on improving and maintaining physical function and mobility. It can help with various conditions such as pain management, injury rehabilitation, and improving overall physical well-being.
Usually, in Australia, you can directly access a physiotherapist without a referral. However, some insurance plans or programs may require a referral for coverage, so it’s advisable to check with your insurer.
A standard physiotherapy session usually lasts 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the nature and complexity of your condition.
Physiotherapy treatments are generally not painful, but some manual techniques or exercises may cause mild discomfort. Your physiotherapist will communicate with you throughout the session to ensure your comfort.
The number of sessions required depends on the severity of your condition, your overall health, and how well you respond to treatment. Your physiotherapist will discuss a personalized treatment plan with you.
Yes, many private health insurance plans in Australia offer coverage for physiotherapy services. Check with your insurance provider for details about your specific coverage.
Medicare does not typically cover physiotherapy for most conditions. However, there are some exceptions, such as Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plans, where your doctor can refer you for specific chronic conditions.
