  • On arrival, your physiotherapist will guide you to a treatment space where you can tell your story and what’s important to you. A thorough assessment will be conducted, a diagnosis explained and you will work together to formulate a management plan to guide you back to your meaningful goals. This management plan will be a combination of treatment methods, exercise therapy and a home exercise program. You can utilise our rehab gym to complete your program before you head off.
