MULTIDISCIPLINARY SERVICES

Psychology

Persistent pain affects more than the body. Pain psychologists help you understand the role your nervous system plays in pain and support you with practical tools to influence your pain. Together, we focus on helping you reconnect with what matters most to you.

Physiotherapy

Our physiotherapists combine contemporary pain science with a personalised approach to movement and recovery. Rather than focusing only on the site of pain, we look more broadly at the body’s systems and how they may be contributing to it.

Dietetics
(coming soon)

We’re currently expanding our team to include an Accredited Practising Dietitian. Emerging research suggests that nutrition plays an important role in pain management.

Multidisciplinary Assessment

Persistent pain has many contributing factors across biological, psychological and social domains. Our multidisciplinary assessments bring together psychology and physiotherapy to develop a shared understanding and an individualised plan for moving forward, ensuring you don’t have to repeat your story twice.

Group Programs

Healing doesn’t have to happen alone. Our evidence-based group programs combine education, practical skills and the support of others navigating similar challenges, helping you to build confidence, understanding and symptom management.

Supervision, Training
& Education

We are passionate about supporting healthcare professionals and teams interested in contemporary pain care. Through supervision, mentoring and education, we aim to support clinicians to feel more confident in supporting people with persistent pain.

Our Group Programs

Learn More, Hurt Less

A 5-week multidisciplinary pain education program.

Understand pain through contemporary pain science and learn practical strategies for living well. Combining psychology and physiotherapy perspectives, this program aims to reduce fear and confusion, build confidence and help you move towards your personal goals.

Pain Reprocessing Therapy Group

An 8-week psychologist-led program.

    If you’re unsure whether our services are the right fit for your situation, please get in touch. We’d be happy to discuss your needs and help you explore the options available.

  • No. You can self-refer to most services. A referral is only required if you wish to access Medicare rebates or insurer-funded treatment.

  • While we can’t guarantee pain elimination, many people find that with the right support they experience improvements in quality of life, confidence and function, alongside reductions in pain and other symptoms. Our aim is to help you better understand your pain, reconnect with meaningful activities and move towards your goals.

  • Yes. Research suggests that telehealth can be an effective way of delivering pain care. Many aspects of assessment, education and treatment can be provided successfully online.

    Studies have shown that even in physiotherapy, a traditionally hands on profession, Telehealth has been shown to be comparable to in-person care.

  • Research suggests that group-based pain programs can help people develop greater confidence, understanding and self-management skills, while also supporting improvements in function and reductions in pain and other symptoms. Our groups are designed to provide education, practical tools and a supportive environment for meaningful change.

  • Many people find that learning alongside others helps them feel less isolated and more hopeful. Group programs provide an opportunity to develop practical skills, learn from different perspectives and connect with others navigating similar challenges. If you’re unsure, we’re happy to help you determine whether a group or individual approach is the best fit for you.

  • Not at all. Participation is always voluntary, and you’re welcome to engage at a level that feels comfortable for you. Many people find that simply listening and learning alongside others can be valuable.

  • Depending on the service, Medicare rebates, DVA, WorkCover, NDIS and private health funding options may be available. Please contact us if you’re unsure what applies to you.

  • We believe persistent pain is best understood through multiple lenses. Our approach brings together psychology, physiotherapy and contemporary pain science to provide collaborative, individualised care.

  • Not necessarily. Some people benefit from working with one clinician, while others find value in a collaborative or multidisciplinary approach. Together, we’ll consider your goals, preferences and circumstances to determine what support is likely to be most helpful.

  • Many people who come to us have already explored multiple treatments and are feeling frustrated or discouraged. Rather than starting from scratch, we take the time to understand your story, what you’ve already tried, and what matters most to you. Together, we’ll work collaboratively to find a realistic path forward.

  • No. Pain is always real. Contemporary pain science recognises that pain is influenced by many factors, including the body, nervous system, thoughts, emotions and environment. Understanding these influences can help us make sense of pain and guide treatment.

  • You don’t need to have all the answers before seeking support. Many people living with persistent pain don’t have a clear diagnosis or explanation. Our role is to listen, help you make sense of your experience, and work collaboratively to identify the support that best meets your needs. For some people, this may involve working with one clinician, while others may benefit from a multidisciplinary assessment and care plan. Wherever you are starting from, we’ll work with you to find a meaningful and realistic path forward.

  • You don’t need to have it all figured out. Whether you’re interested in psychology, physiotherapy, group programs or multidisciplinary care, we can help you find a starting point that feels right for you.
