Not at all. GymTherapy is open to everyone in Brisbane looking to improve their health and performance. Whether you train at one of our gym partners or anywhere else, we welcome all clients — no membership required. We work with you and your existing trainer or coach to optimise your rehabilitation and performance.

We have three convenient Brisbane locations: West End (Studio 99 Fitness Centre, 387 Montague Road, West End QLD 4101), Newstead (Club Bunker, 27b Doggett Street, Newstead QLD 4006), and Woolloongabba (993 Stanley Street East, East Brisbane QLD 4169). All three clinics offer the full range of physiotherapy and performance testing services.

Yes. We accept all major private health insurance providers and process rebates on the spot using HICAPS — just bring your health fund card. For Medicare Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) referrals, bring your GP referral to your appointment and we will process your Medicare rebate immediately.

All three clinics are open Monday to Friday 6am–7pm and Saturday 6am–12pm. We offer early morning and evening appointments to fit your schedule. Same-day availability is often possible — book online or call us directly on 0417 171 220.

You can book online through our website 24/7, call us on 0417 171 220 during business hours, or email info@gymtherapy.com.au. We often have same-day availability for urgent injuries.

Absolutely. Our services are designed for anyone looking to improve their health, manage injury, or better understand their body — regardless of age or fitness level. From longevity-focused health assessments for older adults to performance testing for competitive athletes, every session is tailored to your individual goals and current capacity.

Following a thorough initial assessment of your strength, function, and mobility, your session may include manual therapy, dry needling, deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, PNF techniques, movement and posture analysis, exercise prescription via our app, and sport-specific rehabilitation protocols. Every treatment plan is built on objective data from your assessment.

Initial consultations are 45–60 minutes to allow for a comprehensive assessment. Follow-up appointments range from 30–60 minutes depending on your treatment needs. We allocate sufficient time to address your concerns without rushing.

Please bring: comfortable clothing you can move in (shorts for lower body injuries, loose shirt for upper body), any medical imaging (X-rays, MRI, ultrasound reports), a list of current medications, your private health insurance card if claiming on the spot, and any GP referral if applicable. We will email you a medical history form to complete before your visit.

No referral is needed to book physiotherapy in Australia — you can book directly with us. However, if you have a GP referral under a Medicare Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plan, you may be eligible for Medicare rebates on eligible sessions.

Yes. Our physiotherapists have experience working with NDIS participants across self-managed and plan-managed funding arrangements. Please contact us before booking so we can confirm your eligibility and ensure the right session type is scheduled for your needs.

The VO2 max test takes 8–40 minutes of progressive exercise to maximum effort. Including equipment setup, warm-up, and results discussion, plan for a 60-minute appointment. Your full report with personalised training zones is delivered within 48 hours.

Not at all. VO2 max testing is appropriate for all fitness levels. The test is progressive and stops when you reach your maximum capacity, whether you are a beginner or an elite athlete. We modify the protocol based on your current fitness and goals.

Lactate threshold testing identifies the exercise intensities at which lactate begins to accumulate in your blood. We measure both LT1 (aerobic threshold) and LT2 (anaerobic threshold) to provide precise training zones including heart rate and pace or power recommendations. A detailed report is delivered within 48 hours. This is often combined with VO2 max testing for a comprehensive performance assessment.

RMR testing measures how many calories your body burns at rest, essential data for nutrition planning, weight management, and body composition goals. The test takes approximately 20 minutes and includes a detailed report with your personalised daily calorie needs.

We recommend retesting every 12–16 weeks if you are actively training. This allows enough time to see measurable improvements and adjust your training zones. Elite athletes may test more frequently (every 8–12 weeks) during key training phases.

You will receive a detailed digital report within 48 hours of your test. Your physiotherapist will also walk you through the key findings at the end of your session, including your personalised training zones and specific recommendations. We are available to answer any follow-up questions by phone or email.

Our Health Performance Protocols are comprehensive testing packages designed for specific sports and goals. Examples include the Runner Protocol (VO2 max, lactate threshold, running gait analysis), the Longevity Protocol (VO2 max, RMR, strength testing), and the Hybrid Athlete Protocol. Each has a base structure but is individualised based on your goals and fitness level.

No. You can choose the tests most relevant to you. The protocols are designed as comprehensive packages but we understand not everyone needs every test. You can revisit additional testing at any point in the future as your goals evolve.

Absolutely. Book an initial testing consultation and complete our medical questionnaire detailing your goals. We will design an individualised testing protocol for your specific objectives. We work with athletes and active individuals across all sports and activities throughout Brisbane.
