What to expect going into the session?
Questions about your injury/condition.
Physical/manual testing.
You will have an opportunity to explain your condition/injury, how it affects you, and what you want to get out of seeing me.
Medicare funds 20 minutes, however in order to provide sufficient care to my patients, my Medicare sessions are 30 minutes. This means there is a gap payment ($24 for the initial, then $14 for subsequent). The patient pays for the session in full and I process the rebate ($56) to be paid back to the patient. Most patients receive the rebate within 24 hours.
How long will it take to see results?
- Depending on the conditions and the severity of the injury, the time it takes to see results will vary. Rehabilitation is hard work, but I’ll be there to support you every step of the way.
- Weight loss is largely dependent on how disciplined you are. However, you will have my unconditional support as you make this significant and ongoing change to your lifestyle.
- With Spondylosis and chronic back pain, general improvements in pain and movement can be seen within two weeks. However, this will vary depending on the severity of the injury.
Sick of receiving bad healthcare? I was too...
From my military service I have received my fair share of injuries and illnesses that I continue to work on. I have a family, wife and two young children, that I sometimes find difficult to play with due to injuries and illnesses that I sustained while serving.
I had become frustrated with the health care I had received in the past, feeling that it fell short of my expectations. I felt that my providers didn’t fully explain my condition or the reasoning behind the treatments they prescribed. Looking back, I believe that some of the advice I received was just plain wrong.
During my time as an Exercise Physiologist I have been fortunate to assist University of Southern Queensland (USQ) by providing supervision to their exercise physiology students on professional placement, as well as being the Chair of the USQ Sport and Exercise Advisory Committee.
