Frequently Asked Questions
All treatment sessions at Artistic Sports Physiotherapist begin with an initial consultation. During this consultation;
- A history is taken about your injury/concern, general health and previous history. Sport specific questions will be asked about your training regime to understand your work load.
- A clinical examination is performed with special tests specific to your presentation. We love seeing you in your training environment, so if you have a video demonstrating a skill that can help us with treating you, we’d love to see it.
- After a history and assessment is conducted, a provisional diagnosis and treatment options are discussed.
- Treatment is commenced based your on informed consent.
- A plan is put in place to manage your injury/concern.
Other services at artistic sports physiotherapy that may occur during the initial consultation include referral for imaging, liaison with teachers, coaches, doctors or case managers.
No. A physiotherapist is a primary care practitioner therefore no referral is required.
Wear clothing such as singlets and shorts so more of your body can be seen upon examination.
For pre-pointe assessments, no footwear is needed. The assessment is done in bare feet.
Every health fund is different and also has different levels of cover within that health fund. Contact your health fund provider for a quote on how much of the treatment cost is covered under your private health insurance. Instant claiming is available through Hicaps at Artistic Sports Physio. Medicare does not cover treatment. However, if your doctor has referred you under a Medicare enhanced primary care plan, part of your treatment cost will be covered. Please bring your referral form with you.
