What physiotherapy in Wentworthville treats
Physiotherapy assesses and treats pain and movement problems in muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments and nerves. At Wentworthville that covers:
Sudden episodes after lifting or twisting, recurring stiffness, sciatica-type leg symptoms and long-standing pain.
Desk- and driving-related stiffness, whiplash-associated disorder after a collision, and upper-neck headaches.
Rotator cuff strains, a stiff or frozen shoulder, and overuse conditions such as tennis elbow from repetitive work.
Ligament sprains, meniscal injury, patellofemoral pain, Achilles and calf problems, and a graded return to sport.
Exercise-based management of hip and knee osteoarthritis, gluteal tendon pain and stiffness on stairs.
After joint replacement, arthroscopy, ligament reconstruction or fracture fixation, following your surgeon’s protocol.
Work and road injuries — manual-handling strains, repetitive strain and post-collision neck pain — are treated under your claim where one exists.
Who physiotherapy at Wentworthville suits
The clinic is placed for people in Wentworthville, South Wentworthville, Greystanes, Pendle Hill and Westmead who want treatment close to home. It suits a new injury that needs a working diagnosis and a plan this week, a long-standing condition under a GP plan, an injured worker who needs a treating physiotherapist to handle the insurer side, and rehabilitation after surgery.
Because the rooms sit inside a general practice, care involving both a doctor and a physiotherapist — a Chronic Condition Management Plan, a certificate of capacity, an imaging referral — can happen at one address when your GP is also at Aurora Medical Centre. The home exercise program is part of the plan, not an optional extra.
What happens at an initial physiotherapy appointment
- Your story first. How it started, what aggravates and eases it, what your job asks of your body, and any scans or previous treatment. Claim details are recorded here if relevant.
- A physical assessment. Movement, strength, joint range, nerve tests and the specific tests that narrow down a working diagnosis — explained in plain language as you go.
- Treatment on the day. Where appropriate, hands-on treatment begins on the day, with the opening exercises of a home program and advice on what to do and avoid at work and home.
- A written plan. The expected number of sessions, what progress should look like, when to review, and whether a GP, specialist or imaging referral is needed.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a referral to see a physiotherapist in Wentworthville?
No. Private appointments can be booked online or by phone. A referral or plan matters when funding is involved: a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan for a Medicare rebate, an accepted workers compensation or CTP claim, an NDIS plan or a DVA referral.
How many physiotherapy sessions will I need?
It depends on the problem, how long you have had it and what you need to get back to. The written plan from your initial appointment sets out an expected number of sessions and a review point, adjusted as progress is reassessed. Under a claim, those sessions are listed in the treatment plan sent to your insurer.
Can I have physiotherapy at Wentworthville under my WorkCover or CTP claim?
Yes, under accepted NSW workers compensation claims (icare-insured, regulated by SIRA) and CTP Green Slip claims after motor accidents, with no out-of-pocket cost to you under an accepted claim. Bring your claim number, insurer details and certificate of capacity.
Is physiotherapy at Wentworthville covered by Medicare?
A Medicare rebate is available with a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan — up to 5 allied health services per calendar year, shared across all allied health disciplines. Without a plan the appointment is private.
What should I bring to an initial physiotherapy appointment?
Any imaging reports, your GP plan or referral, and your claim number and insurer details if the injury is under a claim. Wear clothing that lets the physiotherapist see and move the area being treated.
