How to Use These Videos

These videos are designed to give you a clear, plain-English starting point before you come in. Each one is presented by Dr Phil Mifsud, chiropractor, exercise physiologist and founder of Bodyline Health, who has more than 25 years of clinical experience in Lower Plenty. They are grouped by body area, so you can jump straight to the section that matches where you feel pain or stiffness.

Most people watch one or two videos to understand what might be going on, then use the “Read the article” link underneath for more detail. The articles cover common causes, what an assessment involves, and simple things you can do at home in the meantime.

What these videos can and can’t do

The videos are general information only. They can help you understand a condition and prepare questions for your appointment, but they are not a diagnosis and they can’t replace a hands-on assessment. Everyone’s body, history and goals are different, which is why your first visit always starts with a proper history and examination.

If you would like independent, government-funded health information to read alongside our videos, healthdirect Australia is a good place to start. If you have severe or worsening symptoms, numbness, weakness, or pain after an accident, please see your GP or call 000 in an emergency.

Booking after you’ve watched

If a video sounds like what you are dealing with, you can book online or call reception on (03) 9017 4784. No referral is needed for a standard appointment, HICAPS is available on the spot for private health extras claims, parking is free, and onsite digital X-ray is available when it is clinically indicated. Because Bodyline Health brings chiropractic, physiotherapy, myotherapy, podiatry and other allied health services together under one roof, we can also point you to the right practitioner if your problem would be better looked after by another member of the team.

New videos are added from time to time, so it is worth checking back. If there is a condition you would like Dr Phil to cover in a future video, let our reception team know when you next visit.
