Pre and post-Surgical Rehabilitation

One of our most personally fulfilling roles in the Bankstown community over the last 15 years has been surgery related rehab!

When you consider the true costs of pain, such as lack of sleep, household stress, delayed return to work dates or cancelled holidays, rehab can be an extremely valuable investment. It can often also be partly covered by insurance.

Our physiotherapists will work closely with you and your surgeon to help physically prepare you leading up to surgery, and then guide you through your postoperative rehabilitation safely. Our Unique physios will help you maximise outcomes following surgery. It should form part of a comprehensive pre rehabilitation and postoperative rehabilitation plan.

At Unique Physio, you’ll learn why everyone is unique and why your preparation and rehab should be too. Our aim is to help you return to your pre-injury level of function, and then get you moving even better than before.

Some of the orthopaedic surgeries that we help clients rehabilitate from include:

– Knee reconstructions, e.g. ACL reconstructions
– Joint replacements, e.g. total hip, knee, or shoulder replacements
– Bone fracture repairs
– Rotator cuff repairs
– Spinal surgeries, e.g. spinal fusion, decompression.

Our goal will then be - to customize a unique treatment and training plan for your whole body, so you can do what you want in the future.

This approach goes beyond the routines we’ve witnessed elsewhere. It’s why we call ourselves Unique. Here – it’s not just about understanding and treating the unique combination of reasons why you are not feeling 100% today. It’s about finding your true source of motivation, and working together on a unique plan for your whole body - so you don’t just get out of pain, but go do what you really want. That’s why we work here.

Help & FAQ’s

What paper work do I need to bring?

• For Work Cover or Car accidents claims – You will need to bring in scans/x-ray reports (if you have any), doctor’s referral letter, insurance claims details – insurance company name, claim numbers, case officer contact details.

• For all other clients: Please bring in any x-ray or other scan reports you have, as well as your referral letter from your surgeon

How soon after the surgery can I start physio?

Every surgery is different. Your surgeon will provide you with post-operative guidelines for the time frame to start your physiotherapy as well as doing suitable post-op exercises.

Do I need to wait for the wound to close before I can start physiotherapy?

Not necessarily, it depends on the type of surgery you had. Most surgeons nowadays recommend early mobilisation for optimal recovery. Speak with your surgeon or one of our friendly physiotherapists if in doubt.

Should I see physiotherapist or exercise physiologist for my post-op rehab?

Exercise physiologists and physiotherapists are both trained in providing safe and suitable exercises for your post-operative journey, and they are most definitely not mutually exclusive. Who should you see can depends on the stages and need of your recovery. For example, physiotherapy may be more suitable in the earlier stage of your post op journey, to help with pain relief and swelling.

Do you accept GPMP (formerly EPC - Enhanced Primary Care Plan)?

Yes we do! If your GP has referred you to us, we accept the GP management plan as part of your treatment and rehabilitation.

Can I claim my Private Health Insurance?

Yes. We are also preference providers for Medibank and NIB.

Do I need a referral?

No! We accept clients from any source, and without having to see a doctor prior to seeing us. We also accept referrals from clients who have been in workplace (WorkCover) or car (CTP) accidents. If you have a WorkCover or CTP claim number, bring these details with you to your first appointment.

Do I need to have x-rays or scans done before I come to a physiotherapist?

You don’t need to have scans done before attending. Our physiotherapists will assess your condition, and can advise for scan if appropriate.

Is the practice accessible for people with disabilities or prams?
