At Active Living, our back and neck physiotherapy sessions aim to not only help treat the pain and problem, but find the cause to help prevent it from recurring.
Book in for your initial consultation with our Arundel physiotherapists to help get to the root of your back and neck pain.

Most people know many surgeries require rehabilitation to regain pre-surgery mobility. However, what you may not know is prehabilitation (pre-surgery rehabilitation) can reduce the need for post-operative care by nearly 30%, also potentially reducing hospitalisation and recovery time.
Your treatment plan will be tailored to you and your surgery. During your pre-surgery rehab, we aim to help increase blood flow and circulation, as well as prescribe treatment for after your surgery. While your post-surgery rehab will focus on how you’re recovering and helping you get back on your feet.
If you’re having surgery in Arundel (or anywhere on the Gold Coast), give our physiotherapists near you a call to talk about treatment options.
If you’re a Veteran Card holder and have a referral from your doctor, you may be eligible for up to 12 physio sessions per year under the Department of Veterans’ Affairs. This can include for chronic disease or post-hospital recovery treatment.

A:Your first visit to a physiotherapist will be an initial appointment, which is 45 minutes, plus any additional time needed. This first physio appointment includes a full assessment, diagnosis, discussion of best treatment option, treatment and pain relief, and education for at-home treatment.
You’ll then go on to review appointments or physio strength sessions of around 30 to 45 minutes each to track progress, provide treatment, reassess your condition and run through injury-specific movements.
At Active Living, we also provide home-visit physiotherapy in Arundel, which are 1 hour (45mins) and includes everything an initial appointment covers. You can also have your review appointments in the comfort of your own home. Home visits do incur a $30 travel fee pending location.
A: If you have sustained an injury — such as in your back, neck, muscles, hand, leg, knee, etc. — you should book in with a physiotherapist as soon as possible. Your doctor may even recommend you visit a physiotherapist, as many people will see their GP first for pain management.
A: No, you do not need to see a GP or have a referral to see a physiotherapist. However, your doctor may recommend you see a physiotherapist if you have an injury or are having surgery where physio may be of help for recovery.
A: When you’re visiting a physio, ensure you’re wearing loose, comfortable clothing you can easily move in, keeping in mind what you are going to see a physio for. For example, shorts may be a better choice for a knee injury than leggings so the physiotherapist can easily access the knee.
For your first appointment, please complete our convenient online forms prior to arrival (arrive at least 10 to 15 minutes early to allow time for paperwork). You should also bring any health fund information, injury background details, a list of any medications you’re currently taking and any previous x-rays to help us get down to treatment as soon as possible.
