Colin Hill Physiotherapists, Pretoria

1.Do I need a referral? No you do not need a referral to see a physiotherapist. A medical referral from your general practitioner is necessary only if you have been injured at work and your case is registered as an injury on duty (IOD) Your physiotherapist is also able to refer you on to other medical and allied health professionals where it is appropriate. 2.Do I need to bring anything or wear anything in particular? Bring any x-ray or scans that are relevant to your condition or injury with you. Wear comfortable clothing if possible. 3.How long does a treatment take?

If you have multiple areas or a complex problem please let our reception staff know this at the time of booking. A follow on consultation will take approximately 30-45 minutes. If you are a new patient please arrive 10 minutes prior to your appointment time, to allow time to fill in our new patient information form 4.Is parking available?
