Pain Psychology
Unlike traditional psychologists, our Pain Psychologists have special expertise in helping patients with chronic pain. They will work with you to down-regulate your nervous system and retrain your pain response.
Anxiety, depression, stress and past traumas may also be contributing to your pain, so these are addressed as well.

Absolutely! We know how important it is to have a rapport with a psychologist. There is no obligation to book in for multiple sessions. Have your first session and then decide if it's a good fit.

Expert Physiotherapy for Pain Management
Unlike traditional physiotherapists, our expert pain physiotherapists specialise in helping with chronic pain, and will guide you through a process that builds your capacity to move more freely and enjoy the activities you love without pain.
Rather than using hands-on treatment, they take a strategic approach to refine your movement patterns, which is why all appointments are via video call.
Rebates may be available through Medicare (with a Chronic Disease Management Plan), private health insurance, and select workers’ compensation schemes.
FAQs
Virtual Telehealth appointments allow you to consult a physiotherapist via video call from the comfort of home. In your appointment, the physiotherapist will evaluate your particular situation by taking a comprehensive medical history, and observing how you move. Once your condition is assessed your physiotherapist will suggest a treatment regimen aimed at helping you achieve your specific goals.
These days, most physiotherapists rather than relying on a "hands on" approach prefer to focus on education, taking a whole person approach to determine what may be causing your issue. This together with a unique program created with your goals in mind allows you to be an active participant in your own rehabilitation. Being able to attend the session from home can also make it more convenient for you and make you more inclined to stick with sessions and treatment.
In order to attend a telehealth physio appointment you'll just need stable internet and you'll click on the link provided in your appointment confirmation email on your computer, ipad or phone. You won't need to install additional software.
You'll need a chronic disease management plan (previously called an enhanced care plan). This qualifies you for a rebate of $60.35 for up to 5 physio sessions per calendar year

FAQs
Our Support Coaches are all alumni of the MoreGoodDays® program who understand first hand what it's like to live with chronic pain. They have learned to manage their pain (and often other conditions) and are trained in our evidence-based approach. They are not clinicians and do not provide medical advice or recommend particular treatments.
