What to Expect...
On first presenting to the practice, a full and comprehensive assessment of your problem is undertaken and a plan devised to best treat your specific injury or issue .
The aim is to facilitate the quickest and most optimal return to sport, work and the actvities you love utilising an evidence-based approach.
Musculoskeletal physiotherapists generally provide a hands-on treatment approach in conjunction with a tailored exercise program. An injury-specific exercise program enables the client to make faster gains and maintain improvements often without the need for ongoing maintenance treatment.

HOW MANY SESSIONS WILL I NEED? It depends on what you are dealing with and how long it has been going on. After your first appointment we will give you a clear treatment plan with a realistic timeframe. Most straightforward musculoskeletal injuries improve significantly within 4 to 6 sessions.

CAN I CLAIM THROUGH MEDICARE?
Some people qualify to claim on five allied health appointments under Medicare in one calendar year through a Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plan. Your GP can tell you if you are eligible. You will need to pay the full fee on the day and we can organise for Medicare to refund the rebate directly to your account. Bring your Medicare card, Eftpos card, and your CDM referral from your GP. There will be a gap — call us on 02 6352 3131 if you have any questions. CAN PHYSIO HELP WITH MY BACK PAIN ?
Yes, and it is one of the most common things we treat. Whether it is a recent flare-up or something you have been putting up with for years, we will assess what is actually going on and build a plan around that — not just hand you a generic exercise sheet. DO YOU TREAT CHILDREN AND TEENAGERS?
Yes. We see patients of all ages, including children and young athletes dealing with sports injuries, growing pains, Osgood-Schlatter, and similar conditions. DO YOU SEE AGED CARE PATIENTS WITH A HOME CARE PACKAGE ?
Yes. If you have a Home Care Package, we can provide physiotherapy either at our Lithgow or Bathurst clinics, or as a home visit if getting to the practice is difficult. Home Care Package funding can cover physiotherapy as part of your care plan — speak with your package coordinator to confirm your funding, then call us on 02 6352 3131 to arrange an appointment. DO YOU SEE NDIS PARTICIPANTS?
Yes. We see self-managed and plan-managed NDIS participants at both our Lithgow and Bathurst clinics. Please note we are not a registered NDIS provider, so we are unable to see agency-managed participants at this stage. Call us to discuss your situation HOW DO I BOOK?
