Can I fit a physio visit around my commute to Canberra?

Many Gunning patients do exactly that, since our clinic sits on the route in from town. Book an appointment time that lines up with your regular trip and the drive does double duty.

What funding pathway suits an older Gunning resident with ongoing joint pain?

A Medicare rebate may apply under a GP Chronic Disease Management plan, or private health extras cover can be used. We'll help you work out which pathway fits your situation.

Do I need a GP referral to see a physio?

No. You can book physiotherapy directly as a private patient. A referral is only needed for the funded pathways — a GP Chronic Disease Management plan for a Medicare rebate, or the relevant paperwork for WorkCover, CTP, DVA, or NDIS. Bring any referral or plan you already have and we'll sort the billing at our end.

What should I bring to a first physio appointment?

Any scans or imaging you've had, a list of your medications, any referral or funding paperwork, and clothing you can move in. Most of all, come ready to describe how it started, what makes it worse, and what you need to get back to — that history shapes the assessment more than anything.

Local care

Physiotherapy for Gunning residents.

Gunning splits its week between the paddock and the commute. Grazing and farming injuries are common on the land around town, while a good number of residents commute past our Goulburn clinic on their way to Canberra — meaning physio can sometimes be timed around a trip they're already making.

The town is about 52 kilometres west of Goulburn, roughly 44 minutes via the Hume Motorway. Older Gunning residents managing long-term joint stiffness make up another steady group, often wanting a program that doesn't require constant trips back and forth.

We diagnose the injury, whether it's from stock work, a repetitive commute posture, or years of wear on a hip or knee, and set a plan that fits how often you can realistically get in from Gunning, Collector, Breadalbane or Parkesbourne.

What we treat

What Gunning patients see us for.

A physiotherapist is usually the right first stop for pain, injury, and how the body moves — before scans, injections, or surgery for anything that isn't an emergency. Our physios are AHPRA-registered and treat everything from fresh strains to long rehab after surgery, with a diagnosis and a written plan on day one.
