Physiotherapy and Pilates can seem daunting at first. You’re in pain and you don’t know how to fix the problem. The uncertainty can be even worse if you’ve never tried physiotherapy before.

Therapia’s compassionate, personalised solutions are designed to ease this uncertainty, and we’re on hand to answer any questions you may have.

Below are some of our most frequently asked questions. If you have an alternative query and would like to speak to someone in person, please call us on 08 8221 5011.

What can I expect from my first session?

When you first come in, your Physiotherapist will assess your injury. They will take a complete personal history, review your symptoms and do various tests and measures to ensure they have a thorough understanding of your personal circumstances.

Your Physiotherapist will offer a diagnosis and explain their treatment recommendations. They will help you set goals, answer your questions and, if necessary, give you a treatment such as Joint Mobilisation, Massage, Acupuncture, Pilates instruction or a real-time Ultrasound Training session.

What should I wear?

Since Therapia’s team will be moving, stretching and exercising you, we recommend you bring comfortable, unrestrictive clothing or sportswear to all your treatments. Your clothes should allow us to easily evaluate your area of injury. Please bring a pair of clean socks if you are attending a Pilates session.

What should I bring?

Please bring any X-rays and scans relating to your problem area, as well as details of your previous surgeries, general health information and medication details. If your visit relates to a work or motor vehicle injury, and you will be claiming compensation, please bring all the relevant details.

Above all, bring a positive “can do” attitude. We will help you get in touch with your body and our sympathetic staff will offer you peace of mind.
