Physiotherapy
Visiting physiotherapist Jordan Turany for back and neck pain, sports injuries, post-surgical rehabilitation and exercise programs.
East Hills Medical Centre hosts a visiting physiotherapist, Jordan Turany, at 17 Maclaurin Avenue, East Hills. Jordan holds a Doctor of Physiotherapy from Macquarie University and a Bachelor of Exercise Physiology from UNSW, and treats musculoskeletal and sports injuries with a combination of manual therapy and exercise prescription. Common reasons to see him include back and neck pain, shoulder and knee injuries, ankle sprains, tendon problems, work injuries under a WorkCover claim, and rehabilitation after surgery or a fracture. Each patient receives an individual program with exercises to continue at home. Patients with a chronic condition can access Medicare rebates for physiotherapy through a Team Care Arrangement from their GP, DVA card holders can be referred under DVA arrangements, and private health insurance extras can be claimed. Physiotherapy days vary, so phone the practice on (02) 9773 3676 to check availability and book. No referral is needed for private patients.

What to expect
The first session takes a history, examines movement and strength, and explains what is causing the problem. Treatment may include hands-on therapy, taping and, always, exercise. You leave with a written program and a plan for follow-up.
Funding options
Private patients pay at the time of the appointment and can claim through their health fund. GP care plans (Team Care Arrangements) provide Medicare rebates for up to five allied health visits per year. WorkCover and DVA referrals are billed to the insurer or DVA.
