Physiotherapy, exercise physiology and strength and conditioning coaches all exist to improve physical health and function. At Movement Essentials, we work collaboratively to distinguish which practitioner is best suited to your needs, goals and current circumstances to partner with you to achieve your movement goals. In the capacity of movement, all 3 disciplines have the capacity to use movement to help with pain and improve physical capacity.  The distinct differences between the three are: physiotherapists can diagnose, and have hands-on treatment approaches in addition to exercise, whilst exercise physiologists and strength and conditioning coaches rely on exercise and movement. Strength and conditioning coaches work more with either performance or in general public who seek to be stronger, whereas exercise physiologists have extensive knowledge in medical and health conditions and how to effectively manage them through exercise. 

No referral is required to see our practitioners. However, if you are seeking treatment for insurance-related injuries/concerns or are eligible for chronic care plans or veteran health services, a GP referral is required. 

Expect us to sit with you and discuss your needs, concerns and goals, as well as analyse your movement competencies with the assistance of Output Sports sensor technology. To book, please click here and select ASSESSMENT

Physiotherapy is not claimable under Medicare. Chronic Care Plans (for those eligible) however, can attract a Medicare rebate.

We recommend you book in for our ‘ask-ME video consultation‘ which gives you 20 minutes with a fully qualified Physiotherapist who can ask you some questions, and help you determine if you should book in or require alternative services
