A physiotherapist is an expert in human health and movement, they gain a professional qualification after more than four years of scientific evidence-based and practical training. Physiotherapists work right across Australia in hospitals, in intensive care units in consulting rooms in aged care facilities and in professional sporting clubs.

Each year, millions of Australians deal with pain and discomfort and physios are there to treat your problem, whether you’re recovering from a stroke or work or sports injuries. A physio can look after burns disabilities neurological problems and challenging pregnancies and can solve myriad problems that just seem to come with old age. Some people see a physio to get ready for a new sporting season, while others need help keep surgery at bay.

Did you know, that GP’s (general practitioner doctors) recommend more patients to physiotherapy than any other health profession?

It’s because physiotherapists help people in so many different ways from working with those trying to get their lives back together after sustaining brain injuries to helping rehabilitate people who’ve lost the full use of their limbs or hands or feet from aiding in the recovery of compromised cardiopulmonary systems. A physio can even help expectant
mothers get through their pregnancies — there’s much more to physiotherapy than sports injuries. Ultimately a physios job is all about improving your quality of life, and eliminating or minimizing pain
discomfort.

Our Why

“We didn’t create BookPhysio.com because we liked booking a Physiotherapist. Quite the opposite, actually”

Booking a physio was — until now — a process that involved researching, ringing, and being put on hold while the receptionist flipped through the calendar to find availability. Oftentimes, you would find that your preferred time slot is unavailable, which means sometimes waiting several weeks to be treated — and booking a physio where and when you wanted was near impossible.

Now, with BookPhysio.com, you can bypass all the pain, frustration and time-wasting by booking an appointment with a nearby physio in less than 60 seconds.
