1
Do I need a doctor’s referral for physiotherapy treatment?
No, however we do recommend that you contact your physician/surgeon as you may require a medical referral (referral by a medical practitioner) to authorise re-imbursement of treatment charges.

What is electrotherapy?
Electrotherapy is the use of electricity in order to produce different types of energy waves. These waves are then used to effect tissues by reducing swelling, pain and muscle spasm and by strengthening muscles. This results in the promotion of healing.

We will always endeavour to offer you an appointment on the same day or within 24 hours.
