Sports Physio Fremantle

Sports physiotherapy is a specialised branch of physiotherapy that focuses on diagnosing, treating, and managing sports-related injuries and conditions. It’s all about preventing injuries, enhancing your performance, and getting you back to the activities you love. Whether you’re a professional athlete or enjoy sports recreationally, our team is here to guide you towards optimal health and peak physical performance.

We begin with a comprehensive evaluation, involving a detailed history and physical assessment. Following this, we provide a clear diagnosis for your condition. Hands-on treatment commences as part of our approach. You’ll also receive a comprehensive management plan, which includes prescribed exercises and guidance on the recommended frequency and duration of your treatment.

Your second consultation, scheduled shortly after the initial visit, offers an opportunity for feedback and questions. A streamlined re-evaluation is conducted through a physical assessment, allowing you to experience treatment benefits. Subsequent consultations are geared towards supporting your recovery and achieving optimal outcomes for your pain or injury.

Recovery is a journey, and its pace varies from person to person. Some might see a difference after just a few sessions, while others might need a bit more time. After your initial assessment, we’ll give you an honest overview of what to expect and how we plan to help you get there.

Definitely! Our approach is great for treating and preventing all sorts of sports injuries. Whether you’re a weekend warrior or a competitive athlete, we’re skilled at not just nursing you back to health but also enhancing your performance, ensuring you’re stronger and more resilient than ever.

Wearing comfortable clothing and shoes that allow for movement is recommended. Review our guide on what to what to wear to a physio appointment for more specific recommendations.

It’s also helpful to bring a list of your current medications and a summary of your medical history, including any diagnostic tests related to your injury or condition.

There are no cancellation fees or 24-hour notice requirements. Just give us a call if you can’t make it to your appointment.

A doctor’s referral is typically not required to visit us unless your condition is associated with Workers Compensation, Motor Vehicle Injury, Veterans Affairs, or a Medicare Enhanced Primary Care plan. In most cases, you can directly schedule an appointment as all our physiotherapists are primary contact practitioners, capable of providing comprehensive care without the need for a referral.

To access physiotherapy services through Medicare, you must have a referral from your GP under the Chronic Disease Management Plan, often referred to as an Enhanced Primary Care Plan (EPC). This plan is required for Medicare coverage when seeing a physiotherapist.
