Physiotherapy | Miami
TOP RATED PHYSIOTHERAPIST GOLD COAST
At The Good Joint, we proudly service the Miami community with expert physiotherapy that helps you move better, recover faster, and live pain-free. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing a chronic condition, or striving to perform at your best, our skilled physiotherapists provide personalised, evidence-based care that gets results.
We take a hands-on, whole-body approach to treatment — focusing on the root cause of your pain, not just masking the symptoms. Our team specialises in post-surgical rehabilitation, supporting you as you regain strength, mobility, and confidence following procedures such as ACL reconstructions, shoulder surgeries, spinal operations, joint replacements and more.
We work closely with your surgeon’s rehab plan, guiding you through each stage of recovery — from early mobilisation to full functional return. Every session is tailored to your goals and progress, ensuring that you’re not just healing, but rebuilding stronger than before.
Miami locals can access a wide range of services including manual therapy, dry needling, cupping, taping, tailored exercise programs, and 1:1 physio-guided Pilates. Whether you’re fresh out of surgery, deep into your rehab, or working towards peak performance, we’ll support you every step of the way.
Book your physiotherapy session today and experience the difference with a team that proudly supports the Miami area — offering expert care, personalised strategies, and a clear path to getting you back to doing what you love.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS – PHYSIOTHERAPY AT THE GOOD JOINT
Do I need a referral from my GP?
No referral is required to see our physiotherapists — you’re welcome to book privately whenever you’re ready.
However, if you’re attending under a care plan, WorkCover, DVA, or another third-party arrangement, please bring your referral or paperwork along to your appointment so we can ensure your sessions are correctly managed and billed.
How long is each physiotherapy appointment?
Initial consultations are 45 minutes, which allows for a thorough assessment, treatment, and the development of a personalised plan.
Follow-up appointments typically run for 30 minutes, depending on your needs and progress.
Can I use private health insurance?
Yes. Physiotherapy is included under extras cover with most private health insurers.
We offer HICAPS on-site for instant claiming — just bring your health fund card and you’ll only pay the gap on the day.
Do you accept WorkCover referrals?
Yes. If you have an active WorkCover claim and a valid medical certificate, your sessions may be fully funded.
Our admin team will handle communication with your case manager and take care of all the paperwork to keep things simple and stress-free for you.
Can I use DVA (Department of Veterans' Affairs) referrals?
Absolutely. If you’re a DVA cardholder with a current referral from your GP, you may be eligible for fully funded physiotherapy sessions.
We’re proud to support veterans and will liaise directly with DVA to coordinate your care and ensure smooth approvals.
Do you offer physiotherapist-guided Pilates sessions?
Yes — we offer 1:1 Physio-Guided Pilates sessions tailored specifically to your body, injury history, and goals. These sessions are led by our qualified physiotherapists and are ideal for rehab, core strength, posture correction, and injury prevention. Whether you’re an athlete or pre/postnatal, Pilates under physiotherapy guidance ensures every movement is safe, intentional, and effective.
Is physiotherapy safe during pregnancy?

Do you offer online or telehealth sessions?
Yes, we do. If you're unable to attend in person, we offer secure video consultations where we can assess your movement, provide guidance, and prescribe tailored exercise programs.
