Frequently Asked Questions

We appreciate that you are placing your biggest asset, your body, in our hands. We understand that you may have some questions about our service, how it might be different to normal physio service delivery and what to expect from us.

Here are some questions we’ve been asked before …

  • Our sessions are based off a $190/hr rate for the physiotherapist and $86.70/hr for our therapy assistants. You can use your private health or a medicare care plan which will give you some money back on physiotherapy service (but will not cover the entire appointment fee). 

  • We have a clinic both in gympie and noosa. The physiotherapist is at Noosa on Mondays and gympie Wednesday and Thursday. Only the gympie clinic has access to our therapy assistant who is in gympie Monday, Wednesday-Friday. 

  • No, you can book with us directly. You do not need a referral from GP, OT etc.

  • Our appointment times vary because our client’s needs are unique. Sessions vary from 30min-60min however longer or shorter times and everything in between are available. 

  • If you need assistance with first aid related training and have any questions please use our contact us page. We can add times and arrange to come to your worksite if needed and can cater to small and large groups.

  • The most common complaints I hear from clients who have lost faith in the Physiotherapy approach include:

    • A lack of hands on treatment, feeling as though they were touched for 5 minutes and talked to for the remainder of the appointment

    • Being rushed in and out and only spending 15 minutes with their physio

    • Multiple repeat appointments (experiencing the above complaints) and not really feeling any progress or understanding the relevance of their home exercises to their daily activities

    At Functional Physio we try very hard to ensure you never experience this frustration, with our upfront, common sense approach to all treatments. At every treatment you spend one-on-one with the Functional Physio for the full 1-1.5hr appointment.

    As a small business we understand that costs of treatment can add up. So we work efficiently. And we trust that by giving a comprehensive session you will avoid numerous appointments per week because you will be encouraged to work independently at achieving STRENGTH, CONTROL AND BALANCE, and come in as recommended (relevant to your condition and goals).
