Physiotherapy Process at Healthcare on Collins
Initial Appointment
Initial physiotherapy assessments are of 45 minutes duration and will involve your Physiotherapist fully assessing your condition.
Once a diagnosis is made, your Physiotherapist will work with you to develop an appropriate treatment plan taking into account your lifestyle, training and general health.

Exercises may be prescribed for you to do between treatment sessions.
A follow up with an Exercise Physiologist, Myotherapist or Remedial Massage Therapist may be suggested as part of an integrated program.

For any new injury that is sustained or new problem that occurs, a 45 minute consultation may again be required to allow for a full assessment to be conducted, diagnosis made and treatment plan developed.
If you have not seen your Physiotherapist for two months, even if it is for the same injury, a 45-minute review appointment may again be required for a reassessment to take place.
