Your Physiotherapy Questions Answered

Do I need a referral in order to visit a physical therapist?

A physiotherapist is an autonomous first-contact practitioner. This means you don’t need to be referred by a doctor to see us for acute injuries or chronic pain. A Pinch Of Physiotherapy’s physiotherapists are happy to collaborate with your healthcare team, whether they are podiatrists, dentists, or another healthcare professional. They are also open to accepting Enhanced Primary Care Plans from your doctor.

What qualifications does a physio have?

Physiotherapy in Australia is a highly regulated industry that requires successful completion of university-level tertiary studies, active membership with The Australian Physiotherapist Association (APA) and registration with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). Each member must complete at least 20 hours in continuing practice education each calendar year to keep their membership active. This allows patients to feel secure that their physiotherapist remains a board-certified professional. They are subject to an ethical code, remain current with research and techniques and have met all of these requirements.

Your individual goals, needs and condition will determine how many treatments you need. Some may only require a few sessions. Others may need a longer-term, more intensive plan.

You don’t have to dress up to impress! Wear whatever you are comfortable in. If possible, bring something that will allow us the opportunity to treat the affected areas.
