Hornsby Runs on Its Clubs, Its Hospital and Its Generations
Hornsby is one of those suburbs where a junior rugby player, a bushwalker and a retiree recovering from a hip replacement all need the same thing: someone who fixes the problem and rebuilds the body afterwards. That is the exact split iRehab was built around.
- Club sport and active locals
Ankles, knees, shoulders and hamstrings from the shire’s sports fields and walking tracks. Diagnosis first, then a graded return to play. - Recovery after hospital
Hornsby Hospital discharges many of the region’s joint replacements and stroke recoveries. We pick up where the hospital physio leaves off, in clinic or at your home. - Staying independent later in life
For Hornsby’s older residents: balance work, strength and falls prevention at a pace that suits you.

Is Physiotherapy the Right Starting Point for You?
If the problem is pain, stiffness, weakness or unsteadiness that has not settled on its own, physiotherapy is a reasonable first step, and you do not need a referral to find out.
- Book a Physiotherapist if: you have a recent injury, pain that limits what you can do, a joint that gives way or catches, stiffness after surgery, or pain that has outlasted the time you expected it to take.
- Book an Exercise Physiologist if: you are managing a long-term condition where exercise is part of the treatment, you are rebuilding strength after a hospital stay, or you have been told to exercise but not told how.
- See your GP first if: the pain followed a significant fall or accident, you have unexplained weight loss or fever alongside the pain, you have new numbness or weakness in a limb, or you have chest pain on exertion. These need medical assessment before an exercise program starts.
- You may not need us at all if: the problem started in the last day or two, is settling on its own, and does not stop you doing what you normally do. Give it a week.
Why a Physiotherapist and an Exercise Physiologist on One Team?
A Physiotherapist diagnoses your condition and treats it with manual therapy and specific exercise. An Exercise Physiologist prescribes the structured exercise that rebuilds strength and keeps the condition from coming back. At iRehab the handover between the two is internal: same file, same goals, no re-explaining your history. For Exercise Physiologist Hornsby enquiries, our team covers clinic sessions and home visits.

Mobile visits across the shire
What Should You Bring to Your First Appointment?
- Your GP referral or care plan, if you have one.
- Any imaging reports. The radiologist’s written report is more useful to us than the scan itself.
- Medicare card, DVA card, NDIS plan details or claim number.
- A list of your current medications, including anything you take for blood pressure or blood thinning.
- Clothing you can move in, and the shoes you walk in most.
- If someone helps you day to day, bring them. A second set of ears is worth a great deal in a first appointment.
For a home visit, we need a clear space roughly two metres square and a sturdy chair. Nothing else.
Referring a Patient to iRehab From Hornsby
What we accept.
Referrals for physiotherapy and exercise physiology under GP Chronic Condition Management Plans, DVA, NDIS, NSW workers compensation and CTP, plus private referrals and self-referrals.
What to send.
The referral, the relevant history, and the funding pathway if one applies. For post-surgical patients, the operating surgeon's protocol and any weight-bearing or range-of-motion restrictions.
What you get back.
A written report after the initial assessment and at the points each funding scheme requires. For care plan patients that means a report after the first and last service, which is what Services Australia requires of the provider.
