Physiotherapy & Sports Rehabilitation

Do I need a doctor's referral to see a physiotherapist?

In many cases you can book directly, though some insurers or clinics require a referral. A physiotherapist will refer you back to a doctor if your condition needs further medical investigation.

How many sessions will I need?

It depends on the injury or condition. Minor issues may resolve in a few sessions, while post-surgical or chronic cases need a longer, structured programme. Your physiotherapist will estimate this after the assessment.

Will the exercises hurt?

Rehabilitation exercises are set at a level that challenges without causing harm. Some effort or mild discomfort is normal, but sharp pain is not — tell your physiotherapist so they can adjust.
