This program is designed for adults living with fibromyalgia or chronic widespread pain. If you’re dealing with ongoing fatigue, muscle tenderness, stiffness, or pain that doesn’t seem to go away, our physiotherapy program can help you move more comfortably, build strength gently, and improve your quality of life.

Yes. While there’s no cure for fibromyalgia, physiotherapy is one of the most effective ways to manage symptoms. Our approach focuses on reducing pain, improving mobility, and building tolerance to movement through gentle, individualised care. Over time, this can help regulate the nervous system, improve energy levels, and restore confidence in your body.

Absolutely. Physiotherapists are often the best starting point for fibromyalgia — especially if you’re in pain, feel sensitive to movement, or have flare-ups that affect your daily life. We’ll guide you through a safe and gradual movement program, and if appropriate, we can transition you to an exercise physiologist for ongoing management later.

Physiotherapists assess and treat pain, movement problems, and physical limitations. They often work with more complex or sensitive conditions like fibromyalgia, especially in the early stages.
Exercise physiologists focus on long-term exercise planning, fitness, and chronic disease management. If you’re just beginning your journey with fibromyalgia, a physiotherapist is the right place to start.

We’ll take the time to understand your symptoms, history, and how fibromyalgia is affecting your life. Then, we’ll gently assess your movement, posture, and any areas of pain or stiffness. From there, we’ll create a plan that works with your body — not against it — to help you feel more in control and less overwhelmed by your symptoms.

It depends on your goals, how you’re feeling, and how your body responds. Some people feel benefits within a few sessions, while others prefer ongoing support to manage symptoms, build resilience, and maintain consistency. We’ll discuss a realistic plan together after your assessment.

No referral is needed to book privately. However, if your GP has given you a care plan (CDM/EPC), you may be eligible for Medicare rebates. We’re also happy to coordinate care with your doctor, pain specialist, or other healthcare providers.

Yes, most private health funds offer rebates for physiotherapy. Bring your health fund card and we can process your claim on the spot.

That’s completely normal — many people with fibromyalgia feel unsure or even fearful about movement. Our sessions are designed to be calm, supportive, and tailored to your comfort. We’ll never push you. Instead, we work with your energy, your symptoms, and your pace to help you build confidence and ease — one step at a time.

Yes — although physiotherapy won’t “cure” fatigue, it can help you manage it better. Through gentle movement, pacing strategies, and nervous system regulation, many people experience improved energy levels over time. Our goal is to help you find the right balance between activity and rest, so you can do more without feeling wiped out afterward.

That’s okay — we completely understand. If you’re having a flare-up, we can adapt the session to how you’re feeling on the day. Some days you might move more, others may focus on calming strategies, breathing, or lighter mobility work. You’re always in control, and we’ll work with you to ensure your session feels supportive — not overwhelming.
