Questions before booking
Exercise program FAQs
Still unsure? Email reception@physiocure.com.au or speak with a physiotherapist.
Speak with a physioDo I need a referral?
No referral is usually required for a private physiotherapy appointment. Some funding pathways, claims or programs may require a referral or other documentation.
Will I exercise at the first appointment?
Where appropriate, the first appointment normally includes assessment, explanation and introduction of selected exercises. The balance depends on the complexity and safety of your presentation.
What should I wear?
Wear comfortable clothing and suitable footwear that allow you to move and permit assessment of the relevant area. Bring braces, walking aids or sport equipment if requested.
Do I need gym equipment?
Not necessarily. Programs can often use body weight, household items or simple equipment. If equipment would be useful, your physiotherapist can discuss practical options.
How often should I complete the exercises?
Frequency depends on the goal, exercise type, intensity, health history and recovery response. Your program should state the planned dosage rather than rely on a universal schedule.
Is some discomfort acceptable?
The acceptable response varies by presentation. Your physiotherapist should explain what is expected, what to monitor and when to modify or stop. Severe, unusual or worsening symptoms require appropriate review.
What if I have other health conditions?
Tell your physiotherapist about relevant diagnoses, surgery, medicines, falls, cardiac or breathing symptoms and other concerns. The plan may need modification or medical clearance.
Can I do Clinical Pilates instead?
Clinical Pilates may suit some people who benefit from supervised individual or small-group exercise. An assessment can help determine whether it matches your needs and starting point.
How long will I need the program?
There is no universal duration. It depends on the goal, starting capacity, consistency, health factors and response. The aim is to build appropriate independence rather than create unnecessary treatment dependence.
Can I claim through private health insurance?
If the service is provided as physiotherapy, any rebate depends on your insurer, policy and available extras. Please check directly with your health fund. HICAPS displays the rebate determined by your fund.
