FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
• Do I need a referral?
No. You’re welcome to book directly. We also accept referrals from GPs, specialists, physiotherapists, exercise physiologists, personal trainers, and other health practitioners. You may be eligible for a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan (GPCCMP), subsidised through Medicare. We can explore eligibility if you are interested.
• What techniques do you use?
Treatment may include manual therapy, joint mobilisation, soft tissue work, rehabilitation exercise with load-based progression, or movement re-training. The exact approach depends on your goals, your condition, and current evidence for what works best.
In so far as specific techniques that are often requested, Ryan can utilise the following:
Dry Needling, Joint Manipulation, Cupping, Biomechanical Blocking (SOT), Trigger Point Therapy, Drop Piece, Activator, Muscle Release Techniques, Gonstead adjusting, and Diversified adjusting styles.
• Will I get exercises?
Yes, in most cases. We strongly believe in active care — building capacity, not dependency. You’ll receive clear, achievable exercises tailored to your condition and lifestyle.
NB. As with all forms of treatment, it’s rarely a one-size-fits-all, and you will not be ‘forced’ to exercise if you’re not interested. We can be flexible!
• Do you “crack backs”?
If joint manipulation is appropriate and you’re comfortable with it, it can be included. If you prefer not to have manipulation, that’s completely fine — we have many effective non-manipulative options and will adapt treatment to your preferences.
• What should I expect at my first appointment?
Your practitioner will take a thorough history and assess your neuromusculoskeletal function relative to your presenting complaint. If treatment is suitable on the day, it will be provided during the first session.
Your presentation will be evaluated, and a clear plan will be outlined at your second visit. This is to be created collaboratively, ensuring a pathway forward that meets expectations, embraces evidence-informed care, and is realistic to your particular life situation.
• How long are appointments?
We set aside 45-60 minutes for all initial consultations. Follow-up appointments vary (ranging from 10-40 minutes) depending on the nature of the condition and may include treatment, reassessment, or progressions to your exercise plan.
• Do you bulk bill or accept private health rebates?
Private health rebates are available for the majority of funds, with on-the-spot claiming via Tyro.
Medicare rebates apply with a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan (GPCCMP) referral from your GP.
• Can you work alongside my doctor, physiotherapist, or personal trainer?
Absolutely. Our model is built to complement the care you’re already receiving. We regularly communicate with other health providers, and you’re encouraged to involve your team so everyone is working toward the same goals.
• Is chiropractic safe?
For most people, chiropractic care is very safe. Risk is always assessed individually, and we modify or avoid any techniques that aren’t appropriate for you. If something is outside our scope, we’ll refer to the right provider.
• How many sessions will I need?
Your plan will depend on your goals and the nature of your condition. Some people only need a short trial of treatment; others benefit from periodic check-ins, strength progressions, and long-term preventative guidance. You’ll always receive a clear, transparent plan.
• What if I’m not in pain?
Many people see us to ‘get ahead’ — to understand how they’re tracking physically, to reduce future risk, and to build long-term resilience. A bespoke preventative health assessment will be launching in 2026, and is designed to provide clients insight into their healthspan; while the Restorative Session is for existing clients just wanting a ‘tune up’, or to address only minor complaints.
• Do you offer support for gym training or rehabilitation programs?
Yes. We create tailored action plans based on your assessment results and can collaborate with your gym or coach to ensure your training aligns with your long-term health goals.
