How Mary treats

Treatment is tailored to your assessment and goals and may include joint mobilisation, massage, acupuncture, heat, ultrasound or TENS, together with a clear exercise program and practical strategies to help prevent the problem coming back. Mary’s combination of physiotherapy and acupuncture training means both can be used in the one session where appropriate.

No referral is needed to see a physiotherapist. HICAPS is available on-site for private health fund claims, and Mary also sees patients under TAC, WorkSafe (WorkCover) and Medicare Chronic Disease Management (EPC) plans with a GP referral. Please mention your claim type when you book.
