Book an AppointmentThe foundation of everything we do
General Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapists use evidence-based assessment and hands-on treatment to identify the root cause of your pain or dysfunction — not just mask the symptoms. Every plan is tailored to your specific goals, age, fitness level, and lifestyle.
Get back to the sport you love — faster
Sports Injury & Rehab
Whether you're a weekend warrior or a seasoned competitor, our sports physiotherapists understand what it takes to return to peak performance safely. We combine biomechanical analysis, load management, and sports-specific conditioning.
Rebuild strength from the inside out
Clinical Pilates
Unlike group Pilates classes, our Clinical Pilates sessions are supervised by a qualified physiotherapist and precisely tailored to address your specific deficits. We use reformer, mat, and Wunda chair equipment.
Targeted relief for stubborn muscle pain
Dry Needling
Dry needling uses fine acupuncture-style needles inserted directly into trigger points (hyperirritable spots in muscle tissue) to release tension, reduce pain, and restore normal movement. It's highly effective for chronic muscle tightness.
Injured at work or in a car accident? We've got you covered.
WorkCover & TAC
We are registered WorkCover and TAC providers. Our team manages the entire claim process — from initial assessment documentation through to outcome reporting — with no out-of-pocket costs to you.
Same quality care — from your couch
Telehealth Physiotherapy
Telehealth consultations deliver the same high standard of physiotherapy assessment, education, and exercise prescription you'd receive in clinic — via secure video call. Perfect for follow-ups, rural patients, or busy schedules.
Expert recovery after orthopaedic surgery
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
Structured rehabilitation is critical to achieving the best outcomes from surgery. Our physios work closely with surgeons and specialists to follow evidence-based post-operative protocols tailored to your procedure and timeline.
Gentle rehabilitation in warm water
Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy (aquatic physiotherapy) uses the buoyancy and warmth of water to allow movement and exercise that may be too painful or difficult on land. Ideal for arthritis, post-surgical patients, and the elderly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before booking your first appointment.
Do I need a GP referral to see a physiotherapist at Better Physiotherapy Bundoora?
No referral is needed. You can book directly online or by calling (03) 9467 6900. However, if your GP writes you a Medicare Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) referral, you may claim a rebate on up to 5 sessions per calendar year.
How long does an initial physiotherapy appointment take?
Your initial appointment is 30 minutes — a focused, efficient assessment of your condition, history, and goals, with treatment beginning in the same session. Follow-up appointments are 20 minutes.
What should I bring to my first appointment?
Bring any relevant scan or X-ray reports, your Medicare card, private health insurance card, and a list of current medications. Wear or bring comfortable clothing that allows access to the area being treated.
How many physiotherapy sessions will I need?
This depends on your condition, severity, and goals. Many acute conditions improve significantly within 4–6 sessions. Chronic or post-surgical conditions may require 8–16 sessions. Your physiotherapist will give you a realistic estimate at your first appointment.
Is physiotherapy covered by Medicare?
Yes — and we bulk bill all Medicare EPC sessions, meaning no gap fee for you. With a GP referral and a Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plan, you can access up to 5 bulk-billed physiotherapy sessions per calendar year.
Do you offer same-day physiotherapy appointments in Bundoora?
Yes. We offer same-day and next-day appointments for urgent injuries and acute pain. Call (03) 9467 6900 or book online and select the earliest available time.
Can I claim physiotherapy on private health insurance?
Yes. We have HICAPS on-site, so your private health rebate is processed instantly at the clinic — you only pay the gap. Most private health funds cover physiotherapy under Extras cover.
Do you offer telehealth physiotherapy?
Yes. We offer secure video telehealth consultations for follow-ups, exercise reviews, and patients unable to attend in clinic. Medicare telehealth items are available with a valid referral.
