Physiotherapists and Exercise Physiologists are similar in many aspects, both professions studying a minimum of 4 years at University to work as an Allied Health Professional across a wide range of conditions across the human lifespan.

Exercise Physiologists generally have additional training in Exercise for Chronic Disease management through exercise and are well-suited to seeing metabolic conditions. Physiotherapists will do additional training in musculoskeletal injury assessment and management and are well-suited to diagnose and treat acute injuries.

Exercise Physiologists and Physiotherapists both use Exercise. It is required that practitioners stay up-to-date with the latest science to incorporate into evidence based treatment plans. At Hiya Health, our Exercise Physiologists and Physiotherapists work alongside eachother daily and collaborate to provide the best outcomes for their clients.

Your initial appointment will include a consultation with our highly trained physiotherapists to discuss your concerns and experiences. It will include a consultation to take your history, and understand your concerns, a thorough assessment, and treatment planning. Wear comfortable clothing that will allow you to move, and if you are getting a specific condition assessed, it is likely the physiotherapist may want to see that area to complete the assessment or treat the region.

What you may expect during a consultation:
One of our highly trained Physiotherapists will first have a thorough conversation with you; listening to your presenting concern, asking questions about your symptoms/injury, medical history, relevant work/sporting/exercise requirements and your goals of treatment.
In this time, they may read and discuss any imaging or reports where relevant. The practitioner will then perform a thorough and specific assessment of your area of concern. This may include assessing your range of movement, strength, joint integrity, and physical capacity.

Following the assessment and diagnosis the Physiotherapist will discuss the treatment options and best suitable plan to implement factoring in expected recover time and a break down of the steps involved to achieve your goals. From there, your Physiotherapist will guide you through your tailored treatment plan, utilising our excellent facilities designed to take you through your rehabilitation.

The treatment program is varied depending on the condition and your goals and may include treatments including: Injury, symptom or pain management advice Tailored exercise programming, trialled in-clinic and provided as a home/gym program Rehabilitation advice Manual therapies (including massage, joint mobilisations, manipulations, dry needling, repositioning manoeuvres for vestibular clients).

Therapeutic modalities where appropriate (eg. Electrical Stimulation, TENS, blood flow restriction training) Our Physiotherapist will follow up by providing you the Exercise Program discussed (and most often practised) in clinic, and an assurance that all information from the consultation was understood, usually in the form of a follow-up email.

The length of your initial session may vary based on your condition, as well as what appointment type you booked. Typically your intial appointment would last 45 minutes, but with complex conditions or cases, you may wish to have a 60 minute initial consultation.
