## Frequently Asked Questions
- **Do I need a referral?** No GP referral is required to see any of our practitioners.
- **Is osteopathy covered by private health?** Yes, most extras covers include osteopathy. Check with your fund.
- **What is the difference between osteopathy and physiotherapy?** Osteopathy takes a whole-body approach, treating the structural root cause of pain rather than just the site of symptoms. Both are effective; osteopaths often work across more areas of the body in a single session.
- **Does dry needling hurt?** Most patients feel a brief muscle twitch or dull ache at the trigger point. Discomfort is minimal and short-lived.
- **How many sessions will I need?** Most acute conditions improve in 2–4 sessions. Chronic conditions vary. Your practitioner will give you an honest assessment at your first visit.
- **What should I wear?** Comfortable, loose clothing. Practitioners may need to examine the area of complaint directly.
