01 / A CLEARER WAY FORWARD
Your rehab should
make sense
for your sport.
You don’t need another list of exercises with no idea where it’s taking you.
You need to understand what’s going on, what you can keep doing, and how to build back towards the things that matter: bowling spells, throwing from the boundary and backing up week after week.
Velocity brings clinical reasoning and cricket experience together. We’ll work out the next useful step, then build a plan around your symptoms, your schedule and your goals.
The aim is to help you participate with a plan.

Clinical thinking.
A cricketer’s perspective.
I’m Brandon. A physiotherapist, a left-arm fast bowler, and someone who understands how much it matters to be out there playing.
My background is in private musculoskeletal practice, helping people make sense of pain, rebuild strength and return to the activities they care about.
Velocity brings that approach to cricketers through telehealth. Expect a straightforward conversation, an individual plan and rehab that stays connected to your game.

Before
you book.
Can physiotherapy really work online?
Many musculoskeletal problems can be assessed and managed through a detailed conversation, guided movement assessment, exercise and training advice. Telehealth has limits, and Brandon will discuss an in-person assessment or medical review when it would be useful.
Do I need to be a cricketer?
Cricket is our focus, but the approach also supports musculoskeletal injuries affecting your training and activity. If you’re unsure whether your problem fits, discuss suitability before starting.
Will I have to stop playing?
Not automatically. We’ll look at your symptoms, the likely problem and the demands of your sport. Sometimes training can be adapted; sometimes a period away is appropriate. The decision should have a clear reason and a plan for building back.
What should I have ready for my appointment?
Use a phone, tablet or laptop with a camera and a reliable internet connection. Choose a quiet space with room to move and wear suitable clothing. Have any relevant scans or previous reports available.
Do I need a referral or a scan?
No referral is needed to book a private consultation. You don’t need to arrange a scan first either. Eligible clients may access Medicare rebates with a valid GP Chronic Condition Management Plan (GPCCMP) referral, subject to Medicare requirements. This option is only available while Brandon is practising in Australia; it is not offered while he is overseas. Please confirm eligibility before booking.
Can I claim a rebate?
Private health rebates may be available depending on your fund and level of cover. We provide an invoice with telehealth item code 811 for an initial assessment or 812 for a subsequent consultation, which you can submit to your health fund. Check your cover and benefit amount with your fund before booking. Eligible clients with a GPCCMP referral may access Medicare rebates, subject to the conditions above.
How is HPC Rehab different from a consultation?
A consultation gives you an assessment and individual advice. HPC Rehab connects physiotherapy support with ongoing HPC coaching and training. The membership’s inclusions and commitment are agreed before you join.
