Physiotherapy Ballarat

You do not need a referral to access a physiotherapist. The Physiotherapists work collaboratively with other allied health practitioners and surgeons to achieve high quality and efficient results for clients.
Physiotherapists assess acute injuries and have a clear understanding of what is required to avoid surgery or what to do before and after surgery. Rehabilitation plans and strength and conditioning programs can be implemented to help you get back on track and to avoid further injuries.
We treat conditions in all areas of the body. Treatments and services available from Physiotherapists include: (but are not limited to):
- Acute injury assessment
