What should I bring to my appointment?
If you have any results from previous blood tests or diagnostic imaging (X-ray/MRI, etc) that you think may be relevant, please bring them in.
Sometimes we can access these results online, with your permission.
A medication list is also helpful if you already have one, otherwise this can be requested from your regular GP.

Do you treat patients of all ages and activity levels?
Yes. Our physiotherapists are trained to treat a wide range of patients across all ages and activity levels. This includes people recovering from anoccupational/sport injury, general aches and pains, pre-surgery or post-surgery, Workers’ Compensation, disability support, athletes, children, and so much more.
Why don’t we have exercise equipment or Pilates equipment in the clinic?
Not everyone has gym equipment at home and not everyone can afford to go to the gym or Pilates classes.
Here at WLC, the exercises we provide to you at the time of treatment, are exercises that you can do with the resources available to you.
You don’t always need to change your lifestyle to recover from an injury.
Do you offer dry needling?
Yes. Our physiotherapists are trained in dry needling and may use it as part of your personalised physiotherapy treatment, with your consent.
Dry needling is a technique used by physiotherapists to target muscle tightness, trigger points, and pain, using fine, sterile needles. It is often used alongside exercise therapy, manual therapy, and education to support recovery.
Is dry needling suitable for everyone?
Dry needling may not be suitable for all patients. Your physiotherapist will assess your condition, medical history, and preferences before recommending dry needling and will discuss the benefits, risks, and alternatives with you.
Do your physiotherapists provide cupping therapy?
Yes. Jimmy our Senior Physiotherapist is trained to provide cupping therapy and may use it as part of your physiotherapy treatment when clinically appropriate.
Cupping therapy involves placing specialised cups on the skin to create suction. It is used by physiotherapists to help with muscle tension, pain, stiffness, and movement restriction, and is often combined with exercise therapy, manual therapy, and education.
Is cupping suitable for everyone?
Cupping may not be suitable for all patients. Your physiotherapist will assess your condition, medical history, and skin integrity, and discuss whether cupping is appropriate for you.
Does cupping cause marks or bruising?
Cupping can sometimes leave temporary marks or bruising on the skin, which usually fade within a few days to a week. Your physiotherapist will explain this before treatment.
What do I wear to an appointment?
Feel free to wear whatever is comfortable to you.
If you’re planning to see the Physio for an injury or for some exercises, it’s best to wear trousers/shorts instead of a skirt or dress.
Should I bring in results from wearable trackers and watches?
Yes please, if you have any.
Wearables are becoming increasingly popular and can carry important health data that can assist us in best assessing your health and any recent change.
Should I tell the clinician if I’m taking any supplements or vitamins?
Yes, please do.
Many people feel uncomfortable discussing supplements and alternative remedies with a clinician, in case they may be treated differently or be discouraged to take them.
With growing research in the role supplements and probiotics/prebiotics can play in optimising our health, we’re open to discussion with regard to your current or planned regimen.
