At Shellharbour Physio, we’re proud to support patients through Exercise Physiology (EP) - helping people manage chronic conditions, injuries, and post op recoveries.

But here’s something many people don’t realise, EP services are still subject to GST.

Unlike many other allied health professions EP was not classified as an essential healthcare service when GST was first introduced. Times have however changed, but the legislation has not.

That 10% creates a real impact.

It often leads to a difficult trade off - we either increase costs for our patients or absorb the difference to keep services accessible.

That’s why Exercise & Sports Science Australia has launched the “Axe the Tax on Health” campaign - advocating to remove GST from Exercise Physiology services.

So if you’ve got 30 seconds, we encourage you to support this important initiative and help keep EP services more accessible and sustainable for small businesses:

Why are Australians still paying GST on essential healthcare?

Avoiding ACL surgery🦵

Cross bracing protocol is a non surgical treatment to facilitate the natural healing of a torn ACL by bracing the knee at a 90 degree angle. The treatment begins as soon as possible following an ACL injury and spans approximately 12 weeks.

Throughout the protocol, supervised Physio is essential to maintain muscle strength and joint function.

Studies show 90% of ACLs show healing on MRI at 3 months - with 92% returning to sport. This suggests that the protocol may be a viable alternative to surgical intervention for certain patients.

Eligibility for the cross bracing protocol depends on several factors including:
- Thetiming of the injury
- The extent of the ACL tear
- The patients overall health and activity level

The decision will be made collectively between you, your surgeon or sports doctor and your Physio as there may be risks involved.

Shellharbour Physio are trained in the cross bracing protocol, if you think you might be eligible give us a call today on 4296 1555!
