What happens at my first appointment with a physiotherapist?
Your physio will get verbal consent at your initial appointment. This covers your personal details, if you have an injury or on-going issue, your general health and pain levels. The physiotherapist will ask questions about your condition, assess you and treat you for your condition.
Can I use Southern Cross to pay for my treatments?
Yes, if your Southern Cross plan covers physiotherapy bring in your Southern Cross customer card and we can apply for your payments to be covered.
What should I wear to physio?
Depending on what body part you need physio for, we recommend wearing loose comfortable clothing. We do provide a pair of shorts to borrow if the physio feels wearing them would benefit your treatment.
