Welcome to our Practice

The Elizabeth Street Physio Experience

• Booking - Your Appointment

  A Doctors referral is not required for treatment at Elizabeth Street Physiotherapy. If you have been referred by a Doctor, Specialist, Coach, Trainer, or Human Resources personnel and you have a letter please bring this along to your first visit. Our Physiotherapists ensure that all referrers are kept in close contact and are aware of your progress and prognosis with your prior approval.

  TAC, WORKSAFE AND DVA Patients are advised to call the practice on  (03) 9670 3996 for prior approval before making an appointment.

  For all other Private Patients we are ready to make your appointment so please call  (03) 9670 3996.

  If you have recent, relevant X-rays, Ultrasound, MRI, CT Scans or other recent test results, please bring these to your first appointment. We have viewing equipment which can assist us with assessment and diagnosis and the explanation to you of your condition.

• Reception

  Margaret, Amanda and Will at reception have a wealth of experience with Amanda starting with the practice 28 years ago and Margaret 20 years ago.

• Assessment

  All visits to Elizabeth Street Physiotherapy include assessment, treatment, appropriate advice and exercise at each visit. We will listen to your explanation of your injury and will seek out the best diagnosis and approach. We ensure that you have a clear understanding of your injury, often using our models and diagrams.

• Treatment

  Our Physiotherapists and Manipulative Physiotherapists will provide you with a detailed and specific plan for your recovery including set goals and a time frame for recovery.
