Physiotherapy and Exercise Physiology Consultations
We want you to have a long term solution to your injuries, not just short term pain relief Book your Initial Physiotherapy session
What makes us different?
The aim of our Physiotherapy and Exercise Physiology sessions is not just to relieve your short-term pain. We really want to drill down and determine the cause of your issues so you can take the ultimate step of managing your injury in the long term.
All of our sessions start with a thorough examination of not just the area of injury, but the surrounding areas that might either have an influence on the pain or contribute to the biomechanics of the area.
For example, to get to the bottom of a back injury, it is important to not just assess and treat the lower back, but to have a good look at the hips and pelvis. Both of these areas can have a direct influence on the lower back and have to be addressed for long term recovery.

What is the difference between a Physiotherapist and Accredited Exercise Physiologist?
At MD Health our clinical staff are both Accredited Exercise Physiologists and Physiotherapists. We often are asked what is the difference between these two professions…
Both Accredited Exercise Physiologists and Physiotherapists are University qualified Allied Health professionals that have four-five years of training to gain the knowledge and skills to treat and manage a wide range of health conditions. Accredited Exercise Physiologists and Physiotherapists have an in-depth knowledge of the human body and in particular the musculoskeletal system. In addition to this, they need also need to understand an individual’s medical history and any changes to ensure they are prescribing the appropriate exercises and/or treatment to deliver the best outcome for every client.
In general, Exercise Physiologists focus mainly on exercise, with little focus on hands-on treatment. however, at MD Health both Physiotherapists and Exercise Physiologists are taught to treat with exercise and hands-on treatment so the approach is the same.
Every year all the clinical staff at MD Health must continue to complete professional development to be approved by their governing body and Medicare to continue to practice as an Allied Health practitioner.
The difference is usually the amount of private health rebate paid for each type of service, so ask at reception on how it may effect your rebate
