Reduced joint Impact
Hydrotherapy provides a controlled environment where buoyancy reduces the impact of movements on injured or healing tissues. This gentle approach minimises stress on joints and supports the healing process, making it ideal for those recovering from surgeries or injuries.
comfortable environment
Immersing in warm water can provide relief for arthritic joints and post-operative pain. Hydrotherapy’s buoyancy combined with the warm water reduces stress on joints, allowing you to exercise with less pain and inflammation.
improved circulation & swelling management
The hydrostatic pressure of water stimulates blood flow, aiding in the removal of waste products and delivery of oxygen and nutrients to injured areas. This enhanced circulation also helps in reducing swelling, promoting a faster recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
DO I NEED A REFERRAL TO SEE A PHYSIOTHERAPIST OR AN EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGIST?
If you are paying privately for your appointment then you don’t need a referral; if a third party is paying e.g Medicare, DVA or an insurance company, then you must present us with a GP referral.
CAN I CLAIM ANY OF MY TREATMENT UNDER MEDICARE?
Patients who have a chronic medical condition that has been or is likely to be present for 6 months or longer may be entitled to an Enhanced Primary Care Program through Medicare.
The EPC Program entitles you to a maximum of 5 visits with a Physio or Exercise Physiologist per calendar year. You will be eligible for a Medicare rebate for these 5 visits, however, you will be required to pay the gap on the day of your appointment.
If you believe you are eligible for this rebate you need to discuss it further with your GP.
CAN I CLAIM USING MY PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE?
Yes, you can claim on the spot using your private health insurance. The amount your insurance company pays is dependent on your individual policy. If your provider does not cover the entire consultation cost you will need to cover the gap. If you are with BUPA you will be happy to know that we are a preferred BUPA Provider meaning physiotherapy consultations are at a discounted cost.
DO YOU PROVIDE TREATMENT FOR WORKERS COMPENSATION AND CTP?
Yes we do provide treatment for Workers Compensation and CTP. You must have a current claim number, a referral from your GP and approval from your insurance company to commence treatment.
ARE YOU NDIS REGISTERED?
Yes we are a NDIS registered business. If you are Plan Managed, we do require your plan manager’s details and current funding to plan a service agreement. If you are self-managed we can issue a tax invoice for your to claim the cost of your treatment.
Please note you must have your physical health fund card to be able to claim in the practice, otherwise the full consultation cost must be paid and an invoice will be provided.
