What do you do during an initial exercise consultation?

1:1 consultation with a chartered physiotherapist or exercise physiologist. They will go through your medical history, baseline assessment, goals objectives you wish to achieve. Agree your personalised treatment plan. For initial consultation, bring a list of medication you are on.

Do you accept medical cards?

Unfortunately, we do not.

Can I claim a session from my health insurance?

You can submit your receipts to your medical insurance if you are covered for physiotherapy under your package. This only applies to our chartered physiotherapists.

Exercise physiology can be claimed on the tax medical form if you are referred by a GP/Consultant. Group classes can be claimed if your health insurance plan has fitness benefits. Please check your benefit details.

What should I wear or bring?

Comfortable clothes, solid non slippery footwear and a bottle of water. We have changing facilities in clinic.

I live far from the clinic but I would still like to do exercise sessions.

We advise you to come in for the initial consultation and then your exercise package can be done online via Zoom or our clinic software programme.

My therapist advised they would send info on exercises, but I haven’t received them.

Allow 24 hours since your appointment and please check your junk/spam folders.
