What physiotherapy in Bowral covers
Physiotherapy is about how your body moves and what is stopping it. The Bowral physiotherapists treat the problems below and refer on when a GP, specialist or another discipline should be involved.
Acute episodes, disc-related pain and sciatica, headaches with a neck component, and postural strain from desk or driving work.
Rotator cuff and bursitis problems, osteoarthritis management, kneecap pain, ligament sprains and meniscal injuries.
Ankle sprains, hamstring and calf strains, Achilles and gluteal tendinopathy, and overuse injuries from running, cycling, golf, tennis and bushwalking.
Programs after hip or knee replacement, arthroscopy, fracture fixation and spinal surgery, following your surgeon’s protocol.
Lifting and manual-handling injuries, repetitive strain, and whiplash or soft-tissue injuries after a motor accident.
Strength and balance programs for older adults, regaining mobility after illness or inactivity, and falls-risk assessment.
Physiotherapy suits anyone whose pain or stiffness is getting in the way of work, sport or daily life; people recovering from an operation; injured workers and motor accident claimants; and older residents who want to keep moving. No referral is needed for a private appointment.
What a first physiotherapy appointment involves
The initial consultation starts with a conversation: how the problem began, what makes it better or worse and what your job and activities demand of you. The physiotherapist then examines how you move — range of motion, strength, and joint and nerve tests. You leave with a working diagnosis and, where appropriate, treatment that same day: manual therapy, taping, and the first exercises of a home program. From there you get a written plan with goals and review points, and with your consent the physiotherapist keeps your GP, surgeon or insurer informed.
WorkCover and CTP physiotherapy in Bowral
If you were hurt at work or in a motor accident, the Bowral physiotherapists treat under NSW workers compensation (icare-insured claims, regulated by SIRA) and CTP Green Slip claims. Physiotherapy under a claim means assessing the injury against what your job actually asks of you, writing a treatment plan with your return to work in mind, preparing the Allied Health Treatment Request (AHTR) paperwork insurers require, reporting on progress, and coordinating with your employer, case manager and GP on your return to work. Under an accepted claim the insurer is billed directly and there is no out-of-pocket cost to you.
Physiotherapy under an accepted NSW workers compensation claim (icare / SIRA). Bring your claim number and insurer details — under an accepted claim the insurer is billed, not you.
Treatment under a CTP Green Slip claim after a motor vehicle accident, with progress reporting handled for your insurer. No out-of-pocket cost to you under an accepted claim.
Refer an injured Highlands worker through refer to us. We begin assessment and insurer approvals and keep the case manager informed.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a referral to see a physio in Bowral?
Not for a private appointment — book online or call. A referral matters when your care is funded: a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan for a Medicare rebate, a claim number and insurer details for workers compensation or CTP, a referral for DVA Veteran Card holders, and plan details for NDIS.
Can I get a Medicare rebate for physiotherapy at HealthPlex Bowral?
Yes — a Medicare rebate is available with a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan, covering up to 5 allied health services per calendar year. Those 5 are shared across all allied health disciplines, so visits to a podiatrist or dietitian on the same plan count toward the total. Without a plan, the appointment is private.
I was hurt at work — will WorkCover cover physio at Bowral, and what will it cost me?
Under an accepted NSW workers compensation claim (icare-insured, regulated by SIRA) your physiotherapy is funded by the insurer and billed to them directly, so there is no out-of-pocket cost to you. That is insurer funding, not Medicare. The same applies under a CTP Green Slip claim after a motor accident.
I live in Mittagong or Moss Vale — is Bowral my closest HealthPlex physio?
Yes. Funston Street is a short walk from Bowral station on the Southern Highlands Line, so the train from Mittagong, Moss Vale or Burradoo works as well as driving. The next nearest HealthPlex clinic is Campbelltown, about 58 km north along the Hume Motorway.
How do I book, and what should I bring to a first physiotherapy appointment?
Book online through the HealthPlex booking page or call 02 9072 9921; bookings can also be arranged by phone through the Bupa Bowral Medical Hub. Bring any referral or claim details, imaging reports, a list of your medications, and clothing you can move in.
