Frequently asked questions…
What should I wear?
Depending on the area of the body requiring treatment you may be asked to partially undress. Please ensure you wear suitable sportswear/underwear and for your comfort we have towels to protect your modesty.

Will my treatment hurt?
Some soft tissue treatments may cause discomfort during treatment, especially deep sports massages. Your physio will tell you what to expect and will want you to let them know if you are in too much discomfort.
Do i need to see my doctor first?
You do not need to see your doctor first if you are paying for your own treatment. However, some insurance companies require you to see your doctor first.
How many treatments will I need?
An initial assessment will result in the determination of the problem and its severity, together with an estimate of the number and frequency of treatments required to effect a cure. We aim however to keep treatments to a minimum.
“After rupturing my Achilles in may 2022 I was recommended to visit Mel at the healthworks clinic and it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made. The staff are friendly and Mels knowledge is the best around his guidance has really helped with my progress to hopefully get back to full range of movement in my Achilles.”
