Hydro Therapy in Caboolture

As a private patient you do not need a referral, but we welcome referrals from doctors, specialists and employers. A referral is needed for DVA, WorkCover Queensland and some self-insured workers’ compensation schemes, Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) plans and motor vehicle accident claims. For NDIS, My Aged Care or other third parties, please contact the clinic to book.

We use the facilities at Caboolture Pool and Fitness Centre. An initial in-clinic assessment at 4 Annie Street is required before attending the pool, and if you have been referred to aquatic physiotherapy by one of our therapists, please see staff at the front desk.

The pool we use is heated to about 32 degrees to help warm up your muscles and facilitate your body’s movement. The buoyancy of the water can then be used to assist or resist movement in ways that are not possible on land.

Bathers, a towel and a drink bottle; any reliever medications, such as asthma or angina medications; and if you are diabetic, your glucometer, glucose (jellybeans, for example) and a snack such as a sandwich.

The first visit to the practice will usually take an hour, which includes time to fill in any paperwork before the consult with a physiotherapist or exercise physiologist; follow-up appointments generally take half an hour. Hydro therapy is claimable through eligible health funds. We are not a bulk billing practice; if you are on a GP Enhanced Primary Care plan, your GP can refer you for up to five physiotherapy or exercise physiologist sessions per year, with a $15 gap on physiotherapy appointments under that program, so bring your Medicare card to each session.
