Do I need a referral to see a physiotherapist?

No, you don’t need a referral to book an appointment with our physiotherapists at our Melbourne CBD clinic. However, if you plan to claim a rebate through Medicare a referral from your GP is required.

Can I use my health insurance for treatments?

1) Medibank Private Member’s Choice

2) BUPA Member’s First

Do you provide physiotherapy for sports clubs or workplaces?

We partner with local sports clubs and workplaces to deliver physiotherapy services, injury prevention programs, and ergonomic assessments. If your team or company is interested, please contact us to arrange a tailored program.

How is myotherapy different from physiotherapy?

Myotherapy and physiotherapy both treat musculoskeletal pain, but they differ in approach and scope. Myotherapy focuses on soft tissue treatment using techniques like massage, dry needling, and trigger point therapy to relieve muscle tension and pain. Physiotherapy takes a broader approach, addressing movement dysfunctions through exercise prescription, joint mobilisations, rehabilitation, and injury prevention. Both can be complementary depending on your condition.

What should I wear to my appointment?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothing that allows easy movement, such as activewear or loose-fitting clothes. If your treatment involves a specific area (e.g., knee or shoulder), please ensure that it can be easily accessed.

Located 100m from the intersection of Elizabeth & La Trobe Street, there is limited street parking. Our clinic is easily accessible by public transport, with train, tram and bus stops within walking distance. Melbourne Central is located 190m from our clinic. Paid parking is available at Wilson’s parking located next door.
