Can my local GP refer me to a physiotherapist?
Yes, you can either book an appointment directly with our physiotherapy centre or ask your GP for a referral. If you have a chronic condition, your GP can place you on a Chronic Disease Management Plan, which offers up to five professional physiotherapy sessions per year.
Can I feel sore after a professional physiotherapy session?
It’s common to feel mild soreness after a physiotherapy treatment, similar to how your body feels after a good workout. This is part of the healing process.
The discomfort signals progress as your muscles and joints begin to recover and strengthen. Over time, the soreness fades, leaving you stronger and more mobile. However, you must speak up if you do feel any pain during a session.
How do I choose a physiotherapist?
Look for a trusted physiotherapy centre, like NDPSC, that fits your schedule and makes you feel comfortable. Always choose a licensed, registered professional who takes time to listen and explain your treatment clearly. At NDPSC, we focus on building trust so you feel confident about your care. We have a fantastic team of therapists here at our clinic.
How often should I go to the physiotherapy clinic?
Frequency depends on your condition and recovery goals. At our physiotherapy centre in West Ryde, we take a hands-on, holistic approach. Our team will discuss how long you might need the treatment after the initial diagnosis.
That said, chronic issues may need 8–12 professional physiotherapy sessions across several weeks, while minor concerns could be resolved in fewer visits. The key is open communication with your therapist about your needs and progress.
What is the difference between a physical therapist and a physiotherapist?
In Australia, professional physiotherapy involves more extensive education and training than that of a physical therapist. Physiotherapists also use a broader range of hands-on techniques, such as manual therapy and electrotherapy treatments like shockwave or TENS, to help relieve pain and restore movement.
How much does physio cost in Sydney?
On average, a physiotherapy treatment session in Sydney costs between $90 and $130. Prices vary depending on the practitioner and session length. Many health funds offer rebates, so you may not need to pay the full amount. It’s best to check with your health fund before booking your appointment.
What can I expect at a physio appointment?
Your first visit includes a detailed discussion about your concern, followed by physical tests to check movement, flexibility, and strength. Depending on your diagnosis, your physiotherapy treatment may include manual therapy, stretching, ultrasound, or heat therapy. Every step is explained so you know exactly what to expect.
How do I know if my physiotherapy treatment is working?
You will notice gradual improvement in how your body moves and feels, but your physiotherapist will track your progress more precisely. They compare your initial test results with current ones to see how well your physiotherapy treatment is helping. Progress may be small at first, but over time, you will feel the difference where it matters most.
