A Service Agreement is a written agreement between you and Physiotherapist which is created at the time of your initial appointment. A service agreement is an agreement between you and the Physiotherapist which will outline our responsibilities and duties to you. Don’t worry we will help you create your Service Agreement. The Service Agreement involves you sitting down with your Physiotherapist so together you can devise a plan to work out HOW you will achieve your goals. You and your Physiotherapist will then work out how frequently you will have to see each other and the cost of the supports you require to achieve your goals. When you are happy with your Service Agreement Plan you and your Physiotherapist will sign the document, a copy will be sent to your agency / plan manager (if you are using one) and you will be given a copy to keep.
Fees for NDIS are set by the NDIA . The cost of Physiotherapy services is standardised across all of Australia under the NDIS.

Physiotherapy can assist people with disability in a variety of ways, including treatment for pain management, home exercise programs for rehabilitation, advice on the management of specific conditions and providing recommendations for equipment and mobility aids.

There are many factors that can cause a car accident, and the injuries sustained can range from severe to mild. No two car accidents are alike. However, the type of injuries sustained after a car accident are generally similar because there’s only so much movement that the our body can make when sitting in a car seat with a seat belt on.
By far, whiplash is the most common type of injury seen with car accidents. When the head jerks violently, it creates stress on the neck and spine, causing what we call a “whiplash”. This type of injury more commonly occurs after a rear-end collision. If left untreated, the effects of whiplash can lead to long-lasting adverse health issues. The symptoms of whiplash can develop in as little as 24 hours after the accident and include blurred vision, dizziness, fatigue, neck stiffness and pain, headache, limited neck movement, numbness in the arms, and pain in the shoulders, arms or upper back area. In severe cases, whiplash can cause memory and concentration issues and depression. The treatment for whiplash can be quite intensive and take time to unfold because the injury itself requires ample healing time. Whiplash treatment may involve the use of muscle relaxants and anti-inflammatory prescription medication to help with the pain and discomfort. Your GP will be able to help you with these.
When we receive a severe blow to the head, our brain can actually move inside our skull, causing a traumatic injury. Concussions sometimes go undiagnosed after vehicle accidents because the symptoms can take time to appear. The symptoms include headache, double vision, nausea, sensitivity to loud noises and light, and even loss of consciousness. Concussion treatment involves rest followed by physical therapy to help you regain your balance and strength, massage, motion exercises and electrical stimulation. In severe cases, when a brain scan reveals internal bleeding or swelling, surgery is needed.
The impact of a car accident can cause one or more of the back’s small discs to shift out of alignment. Herniated discs can create ruptures to the area resulting in pain, nerve injuries that travel all the way down to the thighs, and severe weakness. To determine if you have a herniated disc (or discs), imaging tests, X-rays, CT scans and MRIs can all be used. Treatment for herniated disc(s) revolves around rest, applying ice and heat to the area, spinal decompression and manual Physiotherapy techniques. Your Physiotherapist may also give you range of motion exercises and strengthening exercises once your pain has settled.
The impact of a car accident can cause knee, leg and foot injuries due to physical trauma. These type of injuries usually occur due to impact of the collision can push their knees into the steering column and dashboard. The symptoms of lower extremity injuries can include pain and broken bones. Treatment will involve pain medication, crutches to keep pressure on the area and Physiotherapy. Surgery may be needed for severe cases of lower extremity injury.
Cracked or broken ribs are common after vehicle accidents because the impact can send you forward into the dashboard and steering wheel. Moreover, the pressure of the seatbelt pushing into your lap and chest can also cause chest injuries. The symptoms range from pain to trouble breathing to nothing at all. In fact, organ bruising and other internal damage is not easily detectable, so you may need to undergo a full-body scan and X-ray to determine the extent of the damage. The treatment for chest injuries is rest and pain medication, followed by Physiotherapy to strengthen the muscles again.
Following a car accident, you need to see your GP for an initial assessment and also to lodge a CTP Insurance claim which will cover your medical and any out of pocket costs due to the car accident. You do not need a referral to see a Physiotherapist, you can inform your insurance company and start treatment early if you are unable to see your GP.
Even if your doctor prescribes rest and pain medication, you will still need to work with a Physiotherapist to help with the healing process. When we rest for long periods of time, our strength diminishes and we can re-injure ourselves easily. A Physiotherapist is trained to help you get back on your feet without the chance of re-injury. Rehabilitation following a car accident can take months to get you back to your old self, this all depends on the extent of the injury and how strong your body was prior to the accident. A Physiotherapist will create a program that is specifically designed for your body and needs. In addition, Physiotherapists will work in tandem with your GP and insurance company to help with pain management and get you back to your pre injury levels.

Physiotherapy After A Car Accident
It’s not easy to move on physically or mentally after having an injury caused due to a car accident. You could have been the driver, a passenger or even a pedestrian.
From dealing with your insurance company, lording your claim, seeing your GP, managing repairs, hunting down a new car, or even tackling legal matters, the idea of making time to do Physiotherapy is probably down the list of things to do.
However, your health should always be a priority. Seeing your GP and starting Physiotherapy after your car accident will not only help with any lingering pains but also prevent future complications from arising.
The short answer would be: it depends on your case.
We know that it might be frustrating to hear that, but the truth of the matter is that different people will need to visit their Physiotherapist for different amounts of time and frequencies.
For instance, if you’re dealing with a case of whiplash, it might be affecting you a bit differently in comparison to another person suffering from the same condition.
Moreover, car accidents can cause a variety of injuries, and they can also come in complex forms. They can range from broken bones to soft tissue injuries.
Physiotherapists use hands on techniques to reduce pain, stiffness and tightness without having to use pain medications. Unless it’s a more complex injury such as: broken or fractured bones, Physiotherapy is rather limited until your bones have fully healed. This —in turn— brings us back to our timeline.
If you’re dealing with broken bones, you may have a rough time moving around and getting back your normal range of motion, especially after wearing a cast for 6 weeks. However, your GP and Physiotherapy will work closely to make the process as seamless for you as possible.
Pain meds and muscle relaxers can provide temporary relief from pain, but they’re meant to a short-term solution. By the time your bones have healed, you might start noticing other issues and pains and stiff muscles and joints popping up.
More likely than not, many patients feel few (if any) symptoms right after a car accident. Only after days or even weeks do they develop clear symptoms of other injuries and sensitivities from the car accident.
Depending on your case, it may take weeks or months for Physiotherapy to help your body gain back its regular range of motion, and for your car accident injuries to fully heal.
That’s where discipline becomes essential to achieve a full recovery. You’ll have to go to your Physiotherapy appointments like clockwork. These appointments may range from once or three times a week according to the severity of your injuries. Normally, as your symptoms start to ease, the frequency of appointments also decrease an increased time frame between appointments.
Why You Should Get Physiotherapy (And Keep up With Your Appointments)
In general, there are numerous benefits of Physiotherapy after a car accident as outlined above. But, in the aftermath of car accidents, some of these benefits are compounded.
As we mentioned before, the actual depth and breadth of your car accident-related injuries won’t fully emerge until you’re starting to get back to your daily routines and normal activities. This can be days of weeks after your injury. It’s super important to see your GP within 28 days of your car accident and lodge your claim with your insurance company. This is called a CTP claim.
You’ll start dealing with stiffness, reduced range of motion, and some head-related pains, like headaches and migraines. In addition, you might start experiencing back pains and aches.
In order to tackle these injuries (and not just numb yourself to the pain with painkillers), it’s critical to undergo Physiotherapy as it’ll aid with the recovery process. It’ll help increase your strength, improve your flexibility, and manage your pain symptoms.
There is dealing with immediate pains, and there’s dealing with chronic pain for the rest of your life.
What’s heartbreaking about a car accident is its ability to cause permanent damage in a split of a second. However, getting into Physiotherapy can prevent long-term damage like chronic pain and migraines from haunting you.
The reason why some of the damage sustained after a car accident becomes permanent is the lack of care and immediate medical attention right after the accident.
These problem areas will stay under the radar unless you proactively look for them in the short-term. Otherwise, they’ll pop up when you least expect them, years down the road.
We know that one of the last things you want to do after a car accident is to move around. However, you’d be surprised by how effective being physically active can be with reducing pain.
As it were, moving gets your oxygenated blood (and other nutrients) to your injured areas faster and with higher quantities. This helps bolster your body’s efforts in healing itself. With every stretch and exercise you do, your body starts getting used to a wider set of motion and function.
All of that accumulates into achieving a well-balanced state, which —in turn— will help you reach complete recovery. Speak to a Physiotherapist before starting any form of exercise after your car accident.
Who Pays For Physiotherapy After A Car Accident?
In Australia, a motor vehicle cannot be registered for use on the roads unless you first take out Compulsory Third Party Insurance (CTP). Regardless of who was at fault, full medical coverage is available for the first six months of your accident.
Depending on the complexity of the car accident, who was at fault, if it is being considered a major or a minor accident, there will be other benefits you may be eligible for. This is something the insurance company will discuss with you at the time of lodgment.

Physiotherapy is a hands-on form of manual therapy. Physiotherapists use their highly trained sense of touch to diagnose and treat many different conditions. Often, when people think of Physiotherapy, they think of sports. Physiotherapists work with the musculoskeletal system and this is only a fraction of what we do. We provide a holistic approach by not only working with muscles and bones, but also the nervous system, the body’s circulation and drainage, and functions including breathing and digestion.
Physiotherapists put their extensive University medical training to use, to work out how the various body systems are functioning together and how these different systems may be contributing to your discomfort. Mental and emotional health have a huge impact on the body, and we take this into account when we are developing an understanding of your problem. Physiotherapists recognise the individual as a whole person and not just a back injury and that is what we aim to treat, rather than looking at an area of dysfunction in isolation from the rest of the individual. We also recognise that each individual responds in their own way to treatment, so we don’t follow a prescriptive method when determining your treatment plan.
At Physio Parramatta we find out what works best for your body, and tailor your individualised treatment around that, ranging from very gentle and subtle techniques when working with more painful or sensitive individuals, to a stronger more structural approach for sports and physically fit people. Injury prevention and health maintenance are a big part of our work, and we can offer you advice in these areas.
The main aims of Physiotherapy is to relieve pain and tension, restore normal movement, and enhance well-being. Physiotherapist have a great respect for the body’s amazing ability to heal. We work with your body’s natural capacity for health by treating the sources of your problem, rather than seeking just to relieve symptoms.

Whether you’re an Olympic Athlete or a Sunday morning golfer, our staff at Physiotherapy Professionals Parramatta, specialise in the assessment and treatment of sporting injuries.
Some of the more common injuries may include neck and back pain, tendonitis, ligament sprains, muscle strains and joint wear and tear. Our goal is to accurately diagnose the condition and commence treatment using the most up to date techniques to ensure a full recovery is made. Prevention of further injury is also a focus at the clinic. We can achieve this through screening tests leading to comprehensive exercise programs targeting imbalances, muscle weakness and altered movement patterns.
We are conveniently open before, during and after a normal working day, allowing you to visit us at a time that is convenient to you.
One of the leading causes of back pain is occupational. We find that so many of our clients spend their weekdays hunched over a keyboard in an office chair or talking on a phone. Poor posture and a lack of physical activity can be just as harmful to the lower back as any sport-related injury or accident.
In fact, many office workers aren’t always aware of the damage they are inflicting upon themselves on a daily basis. If this is a fair description of your own working week, think about the little aches and twinges you experience and ask yourself these questions.
Is my spine a little stiffer than it should be?
Do I experience pain or discomfort in the muscles around my lower back?
Has my back pain been going on for so long that I’ve been ignoring the symptoms?
One of the most common forms of lower back pain is non- specific muscular pain. A symptom to look out for is intense muscular pain on one or both sides of the lower back. This type of pain can be caused by lifting, stretching, twisting or any type of movement that adds stress to the lower back. You may also experience this type of lower back pain by making sudden or unexpected movements.
This type of pain is caused by injury or irritation to your spinal nerve through conditions such as a herniated disc or a compressed joint. You could experience symptoms like shooting or burning pain, numbness or lack of sensation. This type of pain is a little serious – so don’t ignore it.
Muscle spasms occur when the back muscles involuntarily contract in the lower back. This type of injury is generally a result of a specific incidents like bending or heavy lifting.
If you are suffering any of these types of lower back pains or pain that does not fit within the above mentioned categories, we have you covered. Our team of Physiotherapists provide all clients with a detailed assessment to find the root cause of the pain and its potential causes. We will detail a recommended action plan that will fix your lower back pain and get you back to doing the things that you enjoy – Pain Free!
The treatment of any back pain requires a strong three-part approach for the best results. This means:
