Why does the drive from Parkesbourne take 45 minutes?

The road off the Hume Motorway isn't a direct run, so travel time is longer than the roughly 27-kilometre distance alone would suggest. Most Parkesbourne patients build in extra time either way.

Can I manage physio with infrequent visits from Parkesbourne?

Yes. We design home programs to hold progress between visits, with appointments spaced further apart than we'd set for someone closer, so the distance doesn't undo the work, and each visit is planned to cover as much as possible.

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 Parkesbourne residents.

The trip in from Parkesbourne is one most residents plan around a bigger errand run — about 27 kilometres and 45 minutes via the road off the Hume, longer than the straight-line distance suggests. Grazing families here carry the physical toll of farm work over a working life: backs, shoulders and knees all take steady wear.

Because a special trip just for physio is a big ask, we aim to get as much done in each visit as possible: a full diagnosis, hands-on treatment, and a home program that genuinely carries you between appointments rather than assuming you'll be back within days.

For Parkesbourne, and neighbours out at Gunning, Collector and Breadalbane, that usually means fewer visits spaced further apart, built around the realities of a west-of-Goulburn farming life rather than a standard weekly schedule.
