Question 1

How do I know which treatment to book?

Accepted Answer

If you're unsure, a myotherapy session is the most comprehensive starting point. I'll assess your needs and tailor the treatment accordingly. You're also welcome to get in touch before booking to talk through what's going on.

Question 2

What's the difference between myotherapy and remedial massage?

Accepted Answer

Myotherapy is a more in-depth, clinical approach that starts with a proper assessment before treatment. Remedial massage is more targeted and hands-on from the start, suited to issues that feel straightforward and physical. Both are available at BodyWide.

Question 3

Can I claim on private health insurance?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Myotherapy and remedial massage are claimable with most Australian private health insurers with appropriate extras cover. Bring your health fund card and we can process your claim on the spot via HICAPS.

Question 4

Does dry needling hurt?

Accepted Answer

It's usually much more comfortable than people expect. You might feel a brief twitch or dull ache at the needle site, which passes quickly. I explain everything beforehand and check in throughout.

Question 5

Will I be sore after treatment?

Accepted Answer

Some post-treatment soreness is normal, particularly after deeper work or dry needling. It typically resolves within 24 to 48 hours and is a normal part of the process.

Question 6

Do I need to be in pain to book a session?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. Many people book for maintenance, recovery support, or general wellbeing. You don't need to be in acute pain to benefit.

Question 7

Is the clinic wheelchair accessible?

Accepted Answer

The clinic is on the first floor at 116 Lygon St and requires stairs to access. Please get in touch if you have specific accessibility needs and I'll do my best to help.
