Physiotherapy is an evidence based, scientific approach to the assessment and treatment of physical impairments, dysfunction or injury. We use detailed diagnostic testing and re-assessment to guide our treatment.

There are many different types of physiotherapists who can treat a huge range of conditions involving:

• The musculoskeletal system
• The vestibular system (eye movement, inner ear and balance)
• The neurological or nervous system
• The lymphatic system (e.g. lymphoedema)
• Developmental disorders (paediatric physiotherapy)

…and much more!

Feel free to explore our services and our team to get an idea of how we can help you.

No referral is required to see one of our physiotherapists.

In Australia, Physiotherapists are classified as Primary Care Clinicians and can be your first point of contact for any condition relating to physical function. After a detailed assessment, if it is deemed necessary your physiotherapist may request consent for communicating with your GP or relevant medical specialist. If something is found to be outside the scope of physiotherapy, your practitioner will guide you towards the best course of action or toward a recommended medical provider.

If your problem is related to WorkCover, DVA, EPC or CTP, you will require a GP referral and appropriate proof of liability.

There is ample street parking on Lethbridge Street for patients throughout the day. The side closest to the clinic has a 4 hour limit and the opposite side is unlimited.

Occasionally, Lethbridge Street gets very busy and it is recommended that you allocate an extra 15 minutes before your session to secure a parking spot.

We have 2 designated disabled parks available at our front door.

There is ample free parking around the surrounds of the Nepean Private Hospital with a 2 hour limit.

As the hospital can get busy it is recommended that you allocate an additional 15 minutes prior to your appointment to secure a free park.

There are also various paid options ranging in price if you need a parking space quickly.

Disabled car parks are available within the free areas and the paid options.

Our wide range of services also means we have a very wide range of prices depending on the exact care you need. To help you get an idea of out-of-pocket costs – please use our Pricing Calculator to give you a rough guide.

We don’t double book patients and we don’t use passive therapies. You have the undivided attention and expertise of our physiotherapists for the full length of the session.

Each physiotherapist here has a unique style and different areas of technical skill. We love diversity! Because of this, appointments vary in length depending on the exact service or practitioner you would like to see.

Here is a brief rundown:

First Appointment  – is a detailed consultation to diagnose, assess and plan treatment. All first appointments are 1 hour in duration with the exception of appointments with Allan Bourke.

Follow Up Appointments – all follow up appointments are 30 minutes unless specifically receiving a recommendation from your physiotherapist for a longer or shorter session.

Other Services – Services like Lymphoedema, Vestibular, Paediatrics and Hands range in time frame but are most commonly 1 hour in duration due to the extra work required within these sessions. For exact times we would recommend giving us a call on (02) 4721 5567

The number of sessions required varies considerably depending on the condition you are coming in for.

Small acute injuries sometimes only take 2-3 sessions, while chronic conditions might take months to improve.

We work together with you to recommend the most suitable treatment pathway and we are upfront in the first session about the estimated timeframes/sessions required. We take your back pocket into consideration when making these plans but only if it will not compromise your long term health outcomes.

We accept a wide range of payment methods including:

• Private health insurance e.g. HICAPS
• Medicare EPC programs (enquire with your GP if you have a chronic condition to secure up to 5 government supported sessions)
• NDIS Certified
• Cash
• Eftpos
• WorkCover and CTP claims

• A cancellation fee of 50% will apply if you cancel on the same day as your appointment
• A full consultation fee will be charged if I miss my appointment without notice
• If I am running more than 15 minutes late I may have to reschedule my appointment

Physiotherapists will most often ask you for consent to visibly see or touch the injured area (and surrounding related areas of the body).

We keep gowns and towels on hand as required to respect your modesty.

We recommend you wear athletic shorts and a bra you would be comfortable being seen in (gowns can be placed over the front of your body to maintain modesty as required).

Because our ConnectTherapy physiotherapists (Jared, Emily, Declan and Rob) may need to assess or tape your ribs, it is recommended that you don’t wear a sports bra or crop top which is overly complex in design (e.g. multiple straps crossing over). They are really hard to work with!

You might also want to bring related footwear to your injury e.g. bring your running shoes if you are getting pain with running

Bring appropriate clothing as per the above question.
