What’s the Best Option? • When you’re experiencing pain or injury, the first place you go is the doctor, right? • In the past, that may have been the only option, because any kind of specialist care required a referral from a doctor. That’s not the case anymore. • These days, patients can enjoy the convenience of direct access to a physiotherapist – meaning you don’t need to book a doctor’s appointment first. • So what are the advantages of going straight to the PT?
Get Treated When You Need It • The most obvious benefit of choosing physiotherapy first is early intervention. • As soon as you experience mobility problems or pain, you and your PT can begin work right away to get you moving well again. • While you’re waiting around for a free doctor’s appointment to open up, your issues could be getting worse. • A physiotherapist can get you on the right track and making positive progress as soon as possible.
It’s Cost Effective • Why double up on appointments when you only need one? • Bulk billing doctors are few and far between these days, and one short 5 minute appointment could set you back over $70 – just for a referral. • And it’s not just the initial appointment you’ll save money on. The rapid intervention of going direct to a PT could also save you unnecessary suffering, time off work and participation in sporting and recreational activities.
You’re in Safe Hands • Physiotherapists specialise in mobility. They are trained and educated to assess your specific condition and develop treatment plans for it. • They can give you advice on self-management strategies so you can continue your recovery from the comfort of your own home. • But what if your problems are too severe for a physiotherapist to fix? There’s no need to worry: physiotherapists are able to assess whether your condition requires a referral to a physician. • They will work with you and ask the right questions to make sure you don’t require a higher level of intervention.
You’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain by seeking direct treatment from a PT for your mobility issues. So book an appointment with Morley Physio today.
