While general physiotherapists treat a wide range of conditions, Brett Althorpe is a Specialist Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist and Tania Althorpe is a Specialist Sports and Exercise Physiotherapist. They have both achieved the highest level of clinical qualification available in Australia. Awarded Fellowship in the Australian College of Physiotherapists (FACP), our specialists have undergone rigorous post-graduate training and examination to manage the most difficult and recalcitrant cases.

You should consider a second opinion consultation if:

• Your injury or condition is not responding or progressing as well as expected.
• You have persistent back pain or neck pain, or chronic pain lasting longer than 3–6 months.
• You have been given conflicting advice from different healthcare providers.
• You are not sure of the exact reason for your pain or physical limitations.
• You want confirmation before proceeding with major surgery or a high-risk treatment path.

A second opinion is more than a standard check-up; it is a comprehensive deep dive into your health history. Because complex and chronic issues require a more detailed assessment, you will require an hour-long consultation.

During this process, your specialist will:

1. Review Your History: Conduct a thorough discussion of your treatment history, including any previous scans, test results, or reports you bring with you.
2. Sophisticated Assessment: Perform a detailed physical examination to understand your condition on a deeper level.
3. Provide a Clear Explanation: Offer a definitive diagnosis and a clear explanation of why previous treatments may have failed.
4. Create a Roadmap: Develop a tailored management plan with an approximate timeline for your recovery.

You have an active involvement in every decision we make. We can either take over your care or provide suggestions for you to take back to your current treating physiotherapist.

Don't settle for unresolved pain or ongoing disability. Take control of your health and achieve clarity, confidence, and a personalised plan designed for the best outcome.
