What to expect

A clear plan from the first visit.

01

Assessment

We listen to your story, check movement, strength and irritability, then explain what is most likely driving the problem.

02

Treatment

Hands-on care, exercise and education are selected around your diagnosis, comfort and goals.

03

Progression

Your plan is advanced as symptoms settle, with clear home steps so you can stay independent.

Treatment approach

Tools we may use, chosen for you.

No two plans look the same. Your clinician picks the techniques that fit your condition, goals and preferences.

Joint mobilisation

Specific, graded movements for stiff or painful joints.

Soft-tissue treatment

Hands-on work for tight, tender or guarded muscles.

Mobility exercise

Movement that helps maintain gains after hands-on care.

Movement retraining

Practice with positions or activities that previously felt restricted.

Symptom monitoring

Treatment intensity is adjusted to your response, not forced through pain.

Integrated rehab

Manual therapy is paired with strengthening when needed for lasting change.

Coverage

Most extended health plans cover manual therapy.

We can help you understand direct billing options, claim types and what to bring to your visit. Coverage depends on your individual plan.
