Our physiotherapists are able to provide diagnoses for a range of neuromusculoskeletal concerns.
Formal diagnosis of chronic and complex conditions can be nuanced. As allied health practitioners, we are unable to provide formal diagnoses for many of the conditions we commonly support.
Where a medical opinion or specialist referral may be appropriate, we generally recommend beginning with an initial consultation at Zebras. This allows our practitioners to understand your presentation, ask relevant screening questions and complete appropriate clinical assessments and questionnaires where indicated.
From there, we can help guide next steps and, where appropriate, provide information that may support a conversation with your GP or another medical practitioner. We do not routinely provide specialist recommendations or referral guidance for people we have not directly assessed or supported.

Our first consultation together is about getting to know you as a person, your journey, your current challenges, supports and aspirations.
We’ll take some time to settle into the physical (or virtual) space before asking you some questions. The information we gather in this encounter is invaluable for creating context for your concerns and helping us to work out how we can best support you.
When it comes to assessment, our physiotherapists will begin by evaluating your nervous system. For some presentations this speaks volumes, and for others specific testing may be necessary. We will ultimately be guided by your capacity, and it's not unusual for this process to stretch over a number of sessions.
We can talk about our findings and then at this point, you may have some questions
for us...
Our intention is to answer these questions and more, so that you know what to expect during your time at Zebras. We’re even happy to summarise this information for you in an email following your session.
Once you’re happy with the plan we’ve created, and with your permission, we’ll schedule time to write to your circle of care to let them know we’ve joined your team.
With your intake complete, it’s now time to start working on your first steps towards a life that is big, full and bright.

After listening to the feedback from our community, we are mindful that your capacity to engage for long periods may be limited. For this reason, we have found this length of time to be spacious enough to balance a high level of care with minimal after effects but please reach out if you have any concerns around this.
