No, you do not need a referral to see a Physiotherapist if you are a private client. If you have a referral to a different physiotherapy clinic and you wish to come to Active Physiotherapy Mackay you can choose to use that referral to see a physiotherapist at Active Physiotherapy Mackay. A doctor's referral is required if another party is responsible for your account, such as Workcover, DVA or motor vehicle accident insurance.

Physiotherapy (physical therapy) aims to restore proper functioning to the body or, in the case of permanent disease or injury, to reduce the impact of any dysfunction.

During your first appointment the physiotherapist will:

- ask you many questions to gain understanding of how your injury developed and how easily it may be irritated, and

- assess your injury or problem and work with you to develop an individualised treatment plan.

It is important to know that the physiotherapist may ask you to take off some of your clothes so they can see the area of your body where you are having a problem. You may want to wear gym clothes that allow different parts of your body to be seen without taking off your clothes.

The physiotherapist may use a range of hands on, electrotherapy (e.g. ultrasound), exercise or needling to aid in your treatment. If you have any questions prior to your appointment, feel free to call our clinic on 07 4953 3557 to speak with your physiotherapist.
