What does a Physiotherapist do?
Physiotherapists are movement experts trained to identify the root causes of injuries and physical issues. They help manage pain, improve function, and support recovery from illness, injury, or surgery.
When should I see a Physiotherapist?

A referral may be required for Medicare, Work Cover, TAC, or private health claims.
