Chronic Pain

Pain is a generalised symptom that many of us experience which could require Physiotherapy intervention.

At Active Point Physiotherapy, we see patients after recent injuries and chronic pain. We work along with the Specialist and GP in treatment care management.

Pain often requires a multimodal approach. A collaborative team approach often produces improvement in function and outcomes.

Referrals from the GP

EPC – Enhanced Primary Care Plan
GPs can assist patients who suffer from chronic condition with an EPC. The GP can plan treatments with other medical providers using the Medicare Benefits Schedule, e.g. Physiotherapy Treatment.

The first step is meeting the criteria, a chronic condition, such as chronic pain. The doctor can build a treatment plan of 5 sessions with various providers, chiropractic and physio, e.g. 2 of one and 3 of another – totaling 5.

Practically speaking, the EPC needs to be referred by the GP to a specific practitioner
(the GP can’t just write physiotherapy). The process works best when the client comes to see their Physiotherapist first and then take our details when they go to the GP.
