At Health Next Door, we understand the complexities of post-accident rehabilitation and are dedicated to providing top-tier CTP (Compulsory Third Party) physiotherapy services tailored to your unique needs.

What is CTP Physiotherapy?

CTP physiotherapy is a specialised form of rehabilitation designed to help individuals recover from injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident. This type of physiotherapy is crucial for addressing the wide range of physical issues that can arise from an accident, including whiplash, fractures, and soft tissue injuries.

How to Apply for CTP Physiotherapy

Navigating the process of getting CTP physiotherapy can seem overwhelming, but at Health Next Door, we're here to make it as smooth as possible. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you get started:

  1. Report the Accident:
    • Immediately after the accident, report it to the relevant authorities, including the police and your insurance company. This step is crucial as it establishes the necessary documentation for your claim.
  2. Consult a GP or Medical Specialist:
    • Visit your General Practitioner (GP) or a medical specialist to assess your injuries. They will provide a medical certificate or report outlining your injuries, which is essential for your CTP claim.
  3. Lodge a CTP Claim:
    • Submit a CTP claim with the at-fault driver's insurance company. If the accident wasn't your fault, you might be eligible for compensation to cover your physiotherapy costs. Include all relevant documentation, such as your medical report, accident details, and any other required forms.
  4. Get a Referral for Physiotherapy:
    • Your GP or specialist will refer you to a physiotherapist for rehabilitation. Make sure to inform them that you prefer in-home physiotherapy if that suits your needs better.
  5. Contact Health Next Door:
    • Once you have your referral, reach out to Health Next Door to schedule your initial assessment. We'll work with you to set up a convenient time for our physiotherapist to visit you at home.
  6. Begin Your Physiotherapy Treatment:
    • After the assessment, we'll develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your recovery needs. Your physiotherapist will guide you through exercises, pain management strategies, and other therapeutic interventions to help you regain strength and mobility.
  7. Regular Progress Reviews:
    • Throughout your treatment, we'll regularly review your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed to ensure the best possible outcome.
  8. Completion and Follow-Up:
    • As you near the end of your treatment, we'll provide follow-up care instructions and, if necessary, coordinate with other healthcare providers to ensure your ongoing recovery.
