No, we can see you straight away for your problem and start your rehab without delay. We can even send you for images or discuss your problem with specialists if we need to.
If your problem is covered by Workcover, Compulsory Third Party or the Department of Veterans Affairs, we will need a referral for these appointments.
Comfortable clothes that you can move in that allow us to have a good look at the problem area. If you forget, don’t worry, we have some spare training gear (that is clean!!). Our brand of physio is active – we will get you moving.
In Parry Street, Newcastle West. It is between Plush sofas and another rug store and furniture shop, across the road from the TAFE and BP service station.
Remember, Parry Street is also in Cooks Hill, but King Street turns into Parry West of Stewart Avenue, we’re on that part. When you book in we’ll text you a map so you know where to go.
YES – and it’s free!! We have our own carpark, it’s the first driveway past our clinic. The carpark is drive through, it allows you to drive in from Parry Street, then drive out onto Wood street.
We also have free parking on the street at the front door that is free for an hour, but it is a clearway before 9am.
We are different from your average physio. Your experience here will be not just about your problem, but how you function in your life and how to get the most out of your health. There are no machines, no gimmicks, no magic toys. We use strength and conditioning principles in our 2 fully equipped gym rooms. We specialise in long term pain and injury problems, as well as sports and surgical rehab. So if I had to summarise, we can diagnose your problem, help you through the painful and injured part, regain normal function and activities and improve your strength and movement to allow you to do all the excellent things you love to do.
You have all the information we need to help you, but things like letters, reports and scans are helpful. We have the software of most imaging places here in clinic, and are in regular contact with the best medical and orthopaedic specialists, so we communicate regularly with anyone else you have seen. Basically, if it’s important to you, then bring it along.
We have longer appointment times for a reason. We are interested in the whole story, so the first time you see us you’ll need an hour. There are even longer sessions for more complex, long term pain problems. Our follow up physio sessions are 30 minutes, and our Physio Performance gym sessions are 45 minutes, allowing a full training and rehab session.
Yes, for Medicare rebated appointments you need a special referral (called an EPC) from your GP. There is a gap for these appointments.
We have a HICAPS machine which accepts ALL private health funds. We swipe your card, claim your rebate, then you just have the gap to pay, which differs depending on your cover.
We have different services, depending on what you need.
Most treatment paths start with an initial assessment. This ranges from $109 to $149.
I can tell you now we aren’t the cheapest. But, as you will see, there is a reason for that. We are laser focused on quality. So much so, if you aren’t happy, we’ll refund your money.
Good question. This really comes down to what you value.
If you want the cheapest treatment, with a huge amount of passive therapy where you are lying down and hooked up to machines and hot packs, then we aren’t for you.
If you want to come back 3 times a week for months on end for no reason, we aren’t for you.
If you want honest, up to date advice, quality treatment that works and help to achieve the things you want from your life, that’s us.
If you want physiotherapy and rehab services that solve your problem, without “maintenance” treatment forever, that’s us.
If you want to bulletproof your injury or surgery that you get back to 120%, that’s us.
If you want a plan, including what you can do yourself, and a partner to help you work through your rehab, that’s us.
