I have a referral to another Physiotherapy Centre. Can I come to Hastings Physio and Health instead?

View Answer


You sure can. Bring the referral with you to your first session and we’ll let your referring doctor know you’ve commenced treatment with us.

What should I bring to my first physiotherapy session?

View Answer


Bring along any relevant x-rays, correspondence from doctors and scan results if you have them, your private health card (if you are a member), and a means of paying for your treatment – cash or credit/debit card.

What do I need to wear to my physiotherapy session?

View Answer


Depending on the area of your injury will depend on the appropriate clothing. We recommend wearing something that can be easily moved to expose the problem area. For example, if it’s an injury to the lower limbs, wearing or bringing shorts is advisable. For the upper body, a singlet is recommended. At Hastings Physio and Health, your privacy and comfort will always be respected.

How long will my physiotherapy appointment be?

View Answer


Our appointments usually last for 30-60mins. Please allow plenty of time to ensure you receive a comprehensive assessment and treatment session.

Will I get a reminder for my upcoming physiotherapy appointment?

View Answer


Yes! Once we have your mobile number in our system you will be sent a reminder the day prior to your appointment. If you can’t make the appointment for any reason, we would appreciate a call to reschedule your appointment.

I’m going for an operation, do you provide post-operative rehabilitation? 

View Answer


Yes, we do! Our physiotherapists work alongside your surgeons to formulate a customised rehabilitation plan. Members of our team also service the medical ward at the Private Hospital. Here we see patients on the first day post operation. You can be assured our therapists are the best in post-operative rehabilitation.

How many physiotherapy sessions will I need to get better? 

View Answer


In your initial assessment your therapist will give you a “Recommended Action Plan”. Here we outline your treatment program and how many sessions we estimate to get you back to full health. Your progress will be regularly checked throughout this period to maintain excellent progress.

Do you accept physiotherapy Worker’s Compensation and CTP claims? 

View Answer


Yes, however, if you are claiming your treatment through an insurance company it is advisable to see your GP to get a referral to Hastings Physio and Health. If you already have a claim number, please bring this and insurer details to your initial appointment.
