Book & arrive
Book online through Cliniko or call the studio on 0401 865 811. Your initial consultation is longer than a typical follow-up so there's time to do things properly.
Your story: past, now, future
We start by listening. Your relevant history and stressors (past), your current concern and how it affects you (now), and what you want to get back to or achieve (future).
Physical assessment
An assessment appropriate to your presentation — which may include posture, structure, movement, orthopaedic and neurological checks, and where relevant, functional assessments such as manual muscle testing.
Findings & options
We explain what we found in plain language and how it may relate to your concern. Then we talk through options — including whether chiropractic care is appropriate, or whether another practitioner would serve you better.
Individualised care
Where clinically appropriate, care is tailored to you. It's built on ABC as the structural framework, and may draw on AK, NOT, NET or PSYCH-K where relevant, alongside practical lifestyle advice.
Review & reassessment
Progress is formally reviewed — symptoms, findings, function and how you're going against your goals. Symptom change is one piece of information, not the only one.
The next appropriate step
Based on the evolving picture, recommendations can continue, change, reduce or conclude. Some people move to self-management; some are referred; some simply finish care.
Clear, simple information.
No surprises. If you have questions about fees or health fund rebates, call us on 0401 865 811.
Looking for more than a quick adjustment?
Take the first step with an unhurried initial consultation. We'll listen, assess and explain what we find — then talk through options that suit you.
