FAQs

Back pain physiotherapy is a specialised treatment focused on diagnosing, managing, and alleviating pain in the back, whether it is acute or chronic. At Next Wave Therapy, our expert physiotherapists employ evidence-based techniques to address the underlying causes of your back pain. Through a combination of targeted exercises to improve strength and flexibility, manual therapy to reduce muscle tension and enhance mobility, and education on proper posture and ergonomics, we aim to not only relieve your current discomfort but also prevent future occurrences. We develop individualised treatment plans tailored to your specific condition and lifestyle, ensuring you receive personalised care that promotes long-term back health and improves your overall quality of life.

Your initial consultation includes a thorough evaluation, where we take a detailed history and perform a physical assessment. We then provide a clear diagnosis and commence hands-on treatment. Additionally, you’ll receive a comprehensive management plan with prescribed exercises and advice on the recommended frequency and duration of your treatment.

For psychological therapy, we start with a comprehensive evaluation, including a detailed history and mental health assessment. Following this, we provide a clear diagnosis. You’ll also receive a thorough management plan, including guidance on the recommended frequency and duration of your treatment.

Your second consultation, scheduled shortly after the initial visit, allows for feedback and questions. We perform a streamlined re-evaluation through a physical assessment, helping you to see the benefits of the treatment. Subsequent consultations are designed to support your recovery and achieve optimal outcomes for your pain or injury.

For psychological therapy, the second consultation, also scheduled shortly after the initial visit, offers a chance for feedback and questions. A streamlined re-evaluation is conducted, allowing you to experience the benefits of the treatment.

A doctor’s referral is generally not required unless your condition is associated with Workers Compensation, Motor Vehicle Injury, Veterans Affairs, or a Medicare Mental Health Care plan. In most cases, you can directly schedule an appointment since all our physiotherapists are primary contact practitioners capable of providing comprehensive care without 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 necessary for Medicare coverage when seeing a physiotherapist.
