Our appointment process

We understand that visiting a new clinic can feel a bit daunting. Here’s how we make the process smooth, respectful, and personalised to you.

Your appointment starts with a thorough chat about your current concern, broader health history, and what matters most to you. This helps us get the full picture and tailor care to your needs.

We’ll guide you through gentle movements and assessments to understand how your body is working — and what’s not. This forms the basis of your diagnosis and treatment plan.

Hands-on treatment may include massage, joint mobilisation and manipulation, stretching, gentle balancing or cranial techniques. We always explain what we’re doing — and you can opt out of anything at any time. Additionally, we may include active-based treatment, such as an exercise program or clinical Pilates.

We’ll finish with a clear plan moving forward, including exercises, lifestyle tips, and education to help you manage your symptoms between visits.

Wear something comfy you can move in (e.g. loose pants and a tee). Bring any referrals, imaging, Medicare plan, health fund card, or TAC/WorkCover details. Consent is always your choice — you’re welcome to ask questions, decline any technique, or take a break anytime.
