Many chiropractic clinics offer soft-tissue services such as remedial massage or myotherapy alongside chiropractic care. It helps to understand what these services generally involve, described neutrally.
Assessment. A practitioner will usually start by asking about your health history, your daily activities, and the reason for your visit. They may examine how you move, check posture, and assess muscles and joints in the area of concern.
Chiropractic techniques. Chiropractic care commonly includes manual adjustment (a controlled movement applied to a joint), joint mobilisation (slower, gentler movement of a joint through its range), and soft-tissue work directed at muscles and surrounding tissue.
Remedial massage and myotherapy. These are hands-on soft-tissue techniques applied to muscles and connective tissue. A remedial massage therapist or myotherapist may use a range of manual approaches, and will typically tailor the session to the area you've described.
No two clinics work exactly the same way, and a good practitioner will explain what they propose and why before starting.
A first appointment usually runs longer than follow-up visits because of the history-taking and assessment. Expect the practitioner to:
You should feel free to ask questions, and you can decline any part of the proposed care. A practitioner should be willing to refer you to your GP or another health professional if that's more appropriate for your situation.
Prices vary between clinics and depend on session length and the practitioner. As a general guide only:
These are indicative ranges, not quotes. Always confirm current fees directly with the clinic before booking.
Private health cover. If you hold extras cover that includes chiropractic or remedial massage, you may be able to claim a portion of the fee. Check your policy for eligibility, limits, and whether the provider must be recognised by your fund.
Medicare. Standard visits aren't covered by Medicare. In some cases, a GP may refer you under a Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plan, which can subsidise a limited number of allied health visits per calendar year. This is arranged by your GP, so speak with them if you think you may be eligible.
Check AHPRA registration. All chiropractors in Australia must be registered with the Chiropractic Board of Australia. You can verify a practitioner's registration for free on the public register at ahpra.gov.au. Remedial massage therapists aren't registered through AHPRA but may be members of an industry association recognised by health funds.
Look for relevant experience. Ask whether the clinic regularly works with concerns similar to yours.
Expect a clear explanation. A good clinic explains any proposed care plan clearly, including the reasoning, expected number of visits, and costs, without pressuring you into long commitments upfront.
Willingness to refer on. A trustworthy practitioner will refer you to your GP or another professional when appropriate rather than continuing indefinitely.
Some symptoms need medical assessment before you book any hands-on care. See your GP first if you have any of these red-flag symptoms:
These can point to something that needs prompt medical attention. If in doubt, start with your GP.
If you're considering care for a child or during pregnancy, discuss it with your GP first. The Chiropractic Board of Australia provides specific guidance on the chiropractic care of children, and practitioners are expected to follow it. Approaches should be described to you neutrally, and you should feel comfortable asking questions before proceeding.

No referral is needed to book remedial massage or chiropractic care directly. However, if you have red-flag symptoms such as numbness, weakness or fever, see your GP first. A GP referral may also be relevant if you're seeking a Medicare Chronic Disease Management plan.
If your extras cover includes remedial massage, you may be able to claim part of the fee. Cover depends on your policy limits and whether the provider is recognised by your fund. Check your policy and confirm with the clinic before booking.
