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 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.
