Common questions and answers
When exploring physiotherapy, clients often have several common questions. Many first-time patients inquire about what to expect during their initial assessment, which typically includes a thorough evaluation of their medical history, physical condition, and specific goals. People frequently ask how many sessions they might need; this can vary widely based on individual conditions and treatment plans, with some requiring just a few visits while others may need ongoing therapy.

FAQs
How long does it take to recover?
Recovery time depends on the severity of problem, which varies from person to person. It also depends on what you do during the recovery period. For example, if you have a sore back which is aggravated by physical activities, with rest recovery might take two weeks whereas if you continue to work in a physical environment recovery may take twice as long or longer.
What are the benefits of physiotherapy compared to other natural health?
Physiotherapists have the knowledge to provide accurate diagnosis and plan the appropriate treatments. Treatments are evidence-based, meaning they are supported by the latest clinical research studies. Since physiotherapists are a part of the medical profession, they can also liaise with your other healthcare providers (radiologist, surgeon, GP, etc) to ensure consistency when managing your condition.
Do I need a Doctor’s referral?
No. you can always make a booking by calling up straight away. But if you have one, please bring it along with any x-rays or other relevant information that you may have. This will assist our physiotherapist with initial assessment and treatment plan. Doctor’s referral is only required for patients under Medicare Enhanced Primary careplan (EPC) program. It is a special referral in which you can receive up to five physiotherapy treatments at Kinect Physiotherapy clinic per calendar year.
