Everything in life is easier when we are prepared, and your physiotherapy appointment is no different.
The absolute essentials to bring to your physio appointment are:
-
- Referral if you have one. This is only if you have been referred by a health professional. No referral is needed to see our Physio, however to access some funding streams (such as medicare funding for those with chronic medical conditions) you must have a referral.
-
- Imaging and Results. If you have recent and relevant blood test results, X-rays, ultrasound or MRI images please bring them along.
-
- Clothing. Walking, running or various exercises are part of our assessments and treatment plan. Please wear appropriate clothing for this.
-
- Your shoes. Please wear your shoes you feel most comfortable exercising with. More than likely this will be an athletic shoe, with or without an orthotic.
- Medicare Card, Health Insurance Card. We can process rebates on the spot at our clinics in Pascoe Vale.
And most importantly
- Your Goals. What is it you want to get out of seeing the physio? The more guidance you can give us, the better results we can get together!
