Soft tissue release
Skilled hands on work through muscles, tendons and ligaments to ease tension and restore flexibility.
What it is
Soft tissue release is skilled, hands on work through muscles, tendons and ligaments. We use targeted pressure and movement to ease tension, settle pain and restore flexibility in the areas that need it.
It is rarely used on its own. We combine it with joint work, dry needling where it helps, and a clear exercise plan, so the relief holds rather than fading by the next day.

How it works at PACT
Find the source
We assess which tissues are tight or overloaded, and why, so the work goes where it counts.
Release
Targeted hands on techniques ease tension and improve the way the area moves.
Reinforce
Simple home strategies and exercise keep the area loose between visits.
Common problems we use it for
A few of the injuries and conditions where soft tissue release often plays a part. It is always one piece of a wider plan.
What you will actually pay
The full fee is $165 for an initial visit and $142 for a follow up, and every appointment is a full, unhurried session with the time to work through complex, persistent problems. Once your cover is applied, here is what you actually pay.
Before any rebate. Private paying is welcome, and your fee buys the whole session, never a rushed 20 minutes.
A GP Chronic Disease Management referral rebates $61.80 on every visit, up to 5 a year.
The usual out of pocket once you claim on the spot, depending on your level of cover.
Nothing for you to pay at any visit. Accepted workers compensation and CTP motor accident claims are billed straight to your insurer, and we handle the paperwork.
The bars compare what an initial and a follow up visit cost you on each pathway.

Other ways we can help
Most plans combine a few of these. We use whatever the assessment says will move you forward.
