Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about physiotherapy treatment and what to expect.

What conditions do physiotherapists treat?

Physiotherapists treat a wide range of conditions including back pain, neck pain, sports injuries, knee and shoulder pain, arthritis, headaches, post-surgical rehabilitation, neurological conditions, pelvic floor dysfunction, and more. If you are unsure whether physio is right for you, call us on (03) 9467 6900.

Can physiotherapy help with chronic pain?

Yes. Our physiotherapists use a biopsychosocial approach to chronic pain — combining manual therapy, targeted exercise, education, and pain science coaching. Many patients with long-standing pain see significant improvement with a structured physiotherapy program.

Do I need an X-ray or MRI before seeing a physiotherapist?

No. In most cases, a physiotherapist can assess and begin treating your condition without imaging. If imaging would change your management plan, we will recommend it and can refer you through your GP. Don't delay treatment waiting for scans.

Can physiotherapy fix a herniated disc?

Yes, in most cases. The majority of disc herniations resolve with evidence-based physiotherapy — including manual therapy, targeted exercise, and activity modification. Surgery is rarely needed. Our physiotherapists have extensive experience managing disc-related pain and nerve symptoms.

How long does physiotherapy take to work?

Many patients notice improvement after 2–3 sessions. Acute injuries often see significant relief within 4–6 sessions. Chronic conditions and post-surgical rehab typically take 8–16 sessions or more. Your physiotherapist will set realistic expectations at your first appointment.

Is physiotherapy painful?

Physiotherapy should not be significantly painful. Some techniques — such as deep tissue massage or dry needling — may cause temporary discomfort, but this is always discussed and managed with your consent. We work within comfortable limits and progress at your pace.

What is the difference between physiotherapy and chiropractic?

Both treat musculoskeletal conditions, but physiotherapy places greater emphasis on exercise rehabilitation, movement retraining, and long-term self-management. Physiotherapists are university-trained for four or more years and treat a broader range of conditions including neurological and post-surgical rehabilitation.
