About Ahead Physiotherapy

  • Jaw pain (TMJ dysfunction)
  • Shoulder pain, including rotator cuff injuries
  • Pre- and Post-surgery

  • Whiplash disorders
  • Overuse injuries/RSI

Our 4-Step Treatment Process

Step 1 | Accurate assessment and diagnosis

“Your treatment is only as good as your diagnosis!” At Ahead Physiotherapy, we take the time to thoroughly assess your condition so that we can obtain an accurate diagnosis.

Step 2 | Planning your recovery

Based on an accurate diagnosis, we can then tell you exactly the steps we need to take together to help you recover (yes, we’re in this together!). Our commitment to you is to be open and upfront about what it will take to get better, and to give you all the tools to help you get there.

Step 3 | Treament

Our treatment is always tailored to your condition, aiming to progress you as quickly as possible towards reaching your goals. We have a multi-targeted approach: firstly we aim to relieve any symptoms, then we can move on to rehab that ensures the condition does not occur again.

Step 4 | Planning Ahead

At Ahead Physiotherapy, we believe in getting you BETTER. Not just better than when you first come to see us, but BETTER than you’ve been before!

AHEAD Physiotherapy Golden Beach is part of the Bupa Members First network! This means Bupa members with Extras Cover can receive additional value and certainty through known out-of-pocket expenses, as well as receiving generally higher set benefits.

We are also part of the HCF More for Muscles Program! This program is great for HCF members needing physiotherapy, by fully covering 1 initial consultation each year (for a new episode of care) with a “More for Muscles” Physiotherapist (ie. no out of pocket cost!).

We also accept all other health funds, and have HICAPS to enable “on-the-spot” claiming.
