Injured? See your Physiotherapist first!
Physiotherapists, like GPs, are known as “first contact” practitioners which means we have the necessary skills to examine, DIAGNOSE, treat and advise our patients with no previous input or referral from a doctor.
Our bread and butter is the management and treatment of musculoskeletal (muscle/joint/bone/connective tissue) injuries and pain. It’s what we do everyday and love it!
An Embody Movement Physiotherapist can:
Diagnose pain or injury effectively and quickly.
Write referrals for scans including x-rays, CT scans, MRI or diagnostic ultrasound
Begin treatment straight away
Get you back to moving well and feeling great as soon as possible.
Physiotherapy can get the rehab process started quickly and get you back on the road to recovery. We will refer you to your GP if you need any pain management medication, or if you need to see a specialist.
Some of the rebates through medicare are different for some scans if a physio refers you. If you need a scan, the physiotherapist can refer you directly for a scan or send you to the doctor to get a referral for one. This can be discussed with your physiotherapist depending on the type of scan you need and what works best for you.
We will aim to get you in and see you as soon as possible. There is no need to wait to see your GP if you are experiencing any musculoskeletal pain or have an injury. We are here for you and can see you straight away!
