Six things worth knowing
Free & Easy
Street parking on Edgehill Street, usually plenty available. Full detail below.
Come As You Move
Loose, comfortable clothing you can walk, bend and reach in. Athletic wear is ideal.
Cards & History
Medicare card, private health card, and any scans or referral letters you have.
Make Yourself at Home
There's often no one on reception, so let yourself in and get comfortable. Water's down the hall, and Tim will be out as soon as he can.
Allow About an Hour
Initial visits run longer than a standard appointment, so we're not rushing anything.
Rebates On the Spot
Bring your private health card and we'll process your rebate at the clinic, so you only pay the gap.
A note on parking
Parking right outside is unrestricted street parking along Edgehill Street and the surrounding streets, and there's usually plenty of room close to the clinic. You'll notice a "No Parking" sign along the curb, that restriction is specific to Tuesdays, 6:00–8:00am. Outside that window, it's completely fine to park there.
What your first visit looks like
Let yourself in
There's usually no one on reception, so make yourself comfortable, there's water down the hall, and I'll come grab you as soon as I can.
History & conversation
We'll talk through what's brought you in, your goals, and anything relevant to your health, in plain language.
Movement & physical exam
A thorough assessment of how you move and where things are restricted. This is where comfortable clothing helps most.
What we found, explained
We'll walk you through what's going on and what we'd suggest, and answer any questions before moving forward.
First treatment & your plan
If appropriate, your first treatment happens in the same visit, along with a clear plan for what comes next.
A few common questions
No referral needed. You can book directly with us for an initial consult.
Chiropractic care shouldn't be painful. We work within your comfort level and explain what we're doing before we do it, so there are no surprises.
Very common, most of our new patients haven't. We'll explain everything as we go, no assumptions made about what you already know.
Yes, children are welcome in the clinic. If it helps us plan, let us know ahead of time that you'll have little ones with you.
Bring along any X-rays, MRI or CT results you have, even if they're a few years old. They help build a fuller picture of what's going on. If your scans were done here in Perth, it's worth finding out which imaging provider you went through, as we can often log in and view your results directly rather than you needing to bring copies.
No trouble at all, just call us on 08 6400 6506 as early as you can and we'll find you a new time.
