Spinal and joint mobilisation
Gentle, controlled movement to improve a stiff joint and ease the pain that comes with it.
What it is
Spinal and joint mobilisation uses gentle, controlled movements to improve how a stiff joint moves and to settle the pain that comes with it. It is commonly used through the neck and back, and for stiff shoulders, hips and other joints.
The movements are graded to your comfort and paired with exercise so the improvement lasts. It is hands on, gentle and adjusted to how you respond on the day.

How it works at PACT
Assess
We pinpoint which joints are stiff or sensitive and how that links to your symptoms.
Mobilise
Slow, controlled movements within your comfort improve range and ease pain.
Strengthen
Targeted exercise locks in the new movement so it does not stiffen straight back up.
Common problems we use it for
A few of the injuries and conditions where spinal and joint mobilisation often plays a part. It is always one piece of a wider plan.
What you pay, with or without cover
Every appointment is a full, unhurried session with the time to work through complex, persistent problems. The fee is $165 for an initial visit and $142 for a follow up, and if you have Medicare, private health extras or an accepted claim, here is what you pay.
Paying privately
No referral or paperwork needed. Every visit is a full, unhurried session with the time it needs.
With a Medicare plan
A GP Chronic Disease Management referral rebates $61.80 on every visit, up to 5 a year.
With private health extras
Claim on the spot through HICAPS. The gap depends on your fund and level of cover. See all health funds
Workers comp & CTP
Accepted workers compensation and CTP claims are billed straight to your insurer, and we handle the paperwork.
Every bar is drawn to the same scale, from $0 to the standard fee. Private health gaps vary with your fund and your level of extras cover.
Other ways we can help
Most plans combine a few of these. We use whatever the assessment says will move you forward.
