What to expect

Initially a thorough assessment of the clients condition will enable identification of the main problems. This will aid in structuring a treatment and rehabilitation program. The assessment will involve the collection and interpretation of as much relevant information as possible. This may include the assessment of evaluations made by other health professionals and review of results such as xrays, arthroscopies, MRIs and other investigations.

Physiotherapy is recognised as a health profession to whom clients can self refer or be referred via their G.P.'s. or specialist. You do not need a referral!

Physiofirst is based within Newtown gym which is in the heart of busy King Street .

Both gym members and non-members are welcome at the clinic. Once injuries have been treated with hands on physio, our gym location enables us to also focus on your rehabilitation to sport or previous level of fitness.

Exercise is the key to a healthier, injury free lifestyle. Physiofirst can build you a gym or home based program to suit your needs. Wether it is getting you going with a new exercise program or reviewing your current one, we can tailor a program to suit your needs and help you prevent unwanted injuries.
