Your Physiotherapist will advise during treatment and discuss any additional equipment costs with you however most of the time, yes these are yours to keep at the end of any treatment, course or program.

Is massage therapy included in the Physiotherapy service?

An initial assessment will be conducted to determine your health conditions and presenting issues so the Physiotherapist can determine the most appropriate course of treatment. This may include massage therapy but it is important to remember that this isn't always the most effective treatment for long term improvements.

Do you do acupuncture?

Will you be able to organise a reimbursement for exercise equipment that I have purchased with my home care package under this service?
