Newington Physiotherapy is also a part of the Medicare funded Enhanced Primary Care network. Appointments under this service may be provided on referral from your General Practitioner.

Our services may be able to be claimed through your private health insurance if you have the appropriate extras cover. As a member of the HiCaps system this allows you to claim back from your private health fund on the same day as your treatment. 

Our clinics stock a wide variety of injury prevention and rehabilitation equipment. This includes ankle braces, knee braces, back braces, sacroiliac stabilisation belts (for pregnancy related pelvic girdle pain) foam rollers, massage balls, resistance bands, gym balls and an extensive supply of tape including leukoplast and kinesio tapes.
