And while it sucks to run around to multiple appointments, you're also getting multiple medical opinions.
There is a wide range of certification/experience levels among physios...I think it would be reasonable to have the most senior physio(s) at a clinic obtain a certification that lets them order these tests. In most cases, this probably wouldn't happen on the initial visit, but after several treatments that see no progress.
Ultimately I think it's a fairly narrow scope where this could be more efficient, with a lot more breadth for abuse/inefficiency.
