our private appointment fees

When you make an appointment with us you can expect:

  • Our standard appointment times are 45mins for initial assessments and 30mins for follow ups.

    This generally gives us enough time for an assessment and initial treatment plan, and reassessments and treatment progressions during our follow ups.

    This time is entirely with you except for a couple minutes at the end of the session to take payments and rebook you.

    We will generally spend extra time outside of your session completing medico-legal documentation which is a requirement of Physiotherapy, as well as updating treatment plans and session summaries if we did not have time during the session.

  • All of our Physiotherapy consultations include an app-based treatment plan which is updated at each session so you know exactly what the plan is and a guide on expected timeframes.

    These include videos of any exercises and techniques that you might be expected to do at home, with specific reps and sets so you won’t forget what you need to do!

  • We have a large and well equipped gym spaces to assess your movement effectively and give you appropriately loaded exercises, particularly if you are an athlete!

    You are also able to access our gym space outside of your Physiotherapy sessions to complete your home rehabilitation. This is either a small extra cost or inclusive if you have a current deposit with us (see discounted rates below).

    All fees are also inclusive of any extra taping, needling and other consumables we may use.

  • If you have an ongoing chronic condition that needs to be managed on a weekly - fortnightly basis for more than ~12 weeks we can offer a 10% discount with a pre-payment deposit (normally $500).

    If this is something you are interested in doing please talk to your Physiotherapist or send us an email:

    admin@formotionphysio.com.au

    This deposit also included complimetary gym access outside of your Physiotherapy sessions.

All fees also apply to Telehealth consultations at equivalent rate / time.
