Question 1

What does a physiotherapist do?

Accepted Answer

A physiotherapist helps you move better, feel stronger, and recover from injuries or pain. At Sean Cressy Physiotherapy, treatment focuses on finding and fixing the root cause, not just easing the symptoms — so you can return to your normal activities confidently.

Question 2

Do I need a referral to see a physiotherapist?

Accepted Answer

No, you don’t need a doctor’s referral to book a physiotherapy session. You can make an appointment directly with Sean, and he’ll assess your condition and create a personalised treatment plan.

Question 3

What should I wear to my appointment?

Accepted Answer

Wear comfortable, flexible clothing that allows easy movement — for example, gym shorts or leggings and a T-shirt. If you’re coming straight from work, bring a change of clothes. For lower-body injuries, loose-fitting shorts are always advised.
 Your comfort and dignity are always respected during assessment and treatment.

Question 4

Where is your practice based?

Accepted Answer

Sean Cressy Physiotherapy is located on the second floor of the Medi-Response Building, 5 Willow Brook Street, Birnam, Johannesburg, 2196.

The practice is easily accessible with secure parking available on-site.
