Body Applications Physio & Exercise Therapy is a leading physiotherapy and clinical pilates studio located in Biggera Waters on the Gold Coast. Our team of experts specialises in pain treatment and rehabilitation, servicing patients from Labrador, Southport, Runaway Bay, Paradise Point, Arundel, Parkwood, Coombabah, and Hope Island. We also receive referrals from various healthcare professionals such as GPs, sports physicians, orthopaedic surgeons, podiatrists, occupational therapists, and psychologists.
Our approach to treating pain and various conditions is holistic, focusing on providing hands-on treatment, tailored home exercise programmes, and utilising our state-of-the-art exercise therapy studio. We provide treatment for a wide range of conditions including headaches, neck and shoulder pain, whiplash, lower back pain and sciatica, muscle and ligament sprains and strains, sports injuries, and arthritic conditions, among others.
For private patients, we have a HICAPS terminal, which allows us to automatically claim the amount paid by individual private health insurance companies. This means that you only need to pay the difference (gap). We are a Medibank members choice and Bupa members first practise, ensuring that if you have extras cover with either of these funds, your gap payment will be minimised. Please note that different health funds may pay different amounts depending on the type of cover.
Medicare / E. P.
Under an enhanced primary care plan (E. C) or care plan, you may be eligible for up to five treatments per calendar year, fully bulk billed. To receive this referral under Medicare, you must be deemed eligible by your GP. We encourage you to speak to your GP about your eligibility and have your referral made out to Body Applications Physio & Exercise Therapy.
For Veterans Affairs patients, we require a D904 referral from a GP for the initial consultation. Under this referral, you will also be eligible to undergo exercise therapy.
We are happy to work directly with insurance companies and solicitors when treating patients under third-party claims. However, the client must be referred by a doctor for physiotherapy treatment.
For Work Cover patients, we require a doctors referral stating the need for physiotherapy and a claim number from Work Cover to confirm that the claim has been accepted.
At Body Applications, we have an extensive range of products available to meet our patients' needs. From memory foam pillows to lumbar rolls, massage balls, strapping tape, heat packs, ice packs, thera-tubing with handles, and more. If we don't have a specific product in stock, we can order it in for you.
Our exercise therapy studio is equipped with top-of-the-line machines, making it one of the best in the Gold Coast. This allows us to provide our patients with unique pain treatment and rehabilitation through exercises. Each patient receives an individualised programme designed and monitored by a physiotherapist. Exercise therapy can assist with lower back pain and sciatica, hip and groyne pain, neck and shoulder pain, arthritis, posture correction and flexibility, core and general strength, balance and stability, as well as injury and post-surgical rehabilitation.
Sessions run for 55 minutes and are by appointment only, with a maximum of four participants per session. As your programme is tailor-made to suit your condition and needs, determined by your physiotherapist, you are not part of a class setting.
We recommend individuals with significant pain or dysfunction to have a physiotherapy consultation first to determine if exercise therapy is suitable for them. Health fund rebates apply (see fees page for details).
At Body Applications Physio & Exercise Therapy, we are dedicated to improving the well-being and quality of life for our patients through expert pain treatment and rehabilitation. Contact us today to schedule an appointment or inquire about our services.
