FAQ
Not sure if you need surgery?
Many knee and ankle injuries recover well with physio care. We assess your injury, order any scans, X-Rays needed and explain the likely path. If surgery is more appropriate, we can organise a timely surgeon opinion.
Do I need and X-Ray or MRI before seeing you?
No. Many injuries are diagnosed clinically. We’ll advise the right scan at the right time (X-ray/ultrasound/MRI) and refer if needed.
What can I do in the first 48hours?
Protect the area, use compression and elevation, and keep relative rest (short, gentle movement is usually better than total rest). Avoid excessive heat/alcohol/massage that increases swelling early on.
Do you provide moon boots and crutches?
Yes—we can fit braces, moon boots and crutches and teach you how to use them. We also provide taping and exercise plans. All our Physios can cast as well, meaning you don’t have to go to a separate plaster tech.
What Injuries do you treat?
Ankle sprains and instability, Achilles and tendon issues, knee sprains (MCL/LCL), meniscus irritation/tears, early ACL management, patellofemoral and patellar tendon pain, post-fracture rehab.
Why might I need physiotherapy after my surgery?
We are not like every other physio. We can redress and monitor your wound. Cast or fit you with moon boots. Speak daily with your surgeon if needed.
Benefits of post-operative physiotherapy include:
Our Physios discuss the rehab with your surgeon so they can inform us exactly how to tailor your program to maximise your ability to restore movement, strength and confidence so you can get back to normal life sooner. Patients get better outcomes after surgery with informed rehab.
Do I need a referral? Can I come in today?
