No, we are a private clinic. Feel free to book in online or call to make an appointment without a referral. If you do have a referral from a doctor or surgeon please bring it to the appointment along with any relevant paperwork including discharge forms, scan/image results or previous health professional reports.

Initial & hands-on appointments : Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the area being treated. For example, shorts for knee treatments or a tank top for shoulder therapy.

Exercise sessions: Workout clothes are preferred as you may get sweaty and need to be able to move freely.

Initial consultation (1 area of assessment) : 40mins

Extended Initial consultation (2 or more areas of assessment) : 1 hour

Hands-on appointments: 30mins

Exercise sessions: 30 minutes contact time with therapist. 20-30 mins warm up time.

Appointments needed will vary depending on patient needs, conditions and treatment options. At the Cave Strength & Rehabilitation we believe the best results come from patients who complete a strength block with us, these blocks are usually twice weekly exercises sessions for 6 weeks, but can be longer or shortly depending on the patients needs.

Yes and we have a HICAPS machine so you’ll only have to pay the gap fee. The level of coverage does depend on your insurance policy. Many health insurance plans include Physiotherapy & Chiropractic but it’s best to check with your provider first.

During your initial consultation a therapist will review your medical history, assess your complaint/injury, and develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs. The assessment can include several functional tests, so please wear unrestrictive clothing. In some cases you may receive hands-on therapy during the consultation, this depends on your complaint/injury and time restrictions.

Results will vary depending on the patients, their need, the condition being treated and their commitment to the at home exercises.
Pain relief can sometimes be immediate after a hands-on session but for long term changes and functional relief this can take up to 3-4 weeks of exercise and treatment.
