Post-op & sports surgery

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a referral to join the program?

Not necessarily. Many patients come to us directly, and no GP referral is required to book a private assessment. A referral from your surgeon or GP is helpful — and is required if you're accessing funding through Medicare or DVA.

Where do the sessions take place?

The early weeks are usually delivered at home, where recovery is most comfortable, then we transition to clinic sessions as you build strength. Your plan is tailored to your mobility, goals and location across Parramatta and Western Sydney.

When should I start after surgery?

Ideally we plan your program before or soon after your operation, so support is ready the moment you're home. Contact us as early as you can — we'll coordinate with your surgeon's advice and precautions.

How much will it cost me?

Package pricing for the full 6-week program starts from $880. Your final out-of-pocket depends on the level of support you choose and your funding — private-health extras and Medicare rebates can reduce it, and DVA may cover it entirely. We confirm everything at your assessment.

Who will be looking after me?

Your care is led by Joseph Hanna, an AHPRA-registered physiotherapist with 12+ years' experience across musculoskeletal, neurological, chronic-pain and complex rehabilitation — so you have one consistent, expert point of contact throughout.

Which conditions is it suitable for?

Post-surgical recovery (knee and hip replacement, ACL, rotator cuff and other orthopaedic surgery), general reconditioning and falls prevention, and home-based neurological rehabilitation. If you're unsure whether it's right for you, get in touch and we'll advise.
