What can I add to the review below? Laurie Farrow, my practitioner attends to all my soft tissue & tendon problems which means no more foot or neck problems. I use the free 'wobbling' machines on premises in between sessions, and these just keep everything in my body settled. They have HICAPS for my health fund which makes paying the bill very easy. The service is really cheap ($50 before rebate). I just couldn't live as comfortably as I do without this service. There are now 10 OTs in the practice.

A really talented and dedicated team of occupational therapists specialising in soft tissue treatment. The reception staff are also very friendly and helpful, and the centre caters for anything from the treatment of elite athletes, to workers, to everyday people (like me!).

Having used Chiropractic treatment for years, I was very reluctant to try anything new for my ongoing lower back issue. However, I took the plunge and have been very impressed with the therapy I've received at this centre. They were happy for me to "test out" more than one therapist (I haven't ever feel pressured to "stay" with the same therapist), though I have now settled with just one.

My therapist also assisted me throughout my pregnancy (I developed "pregnancy" carpal tunnel syndrome, and also had fluid retention in my ankles, as well as contending with my normal lower back issue). I found the therapy to be of enormous benefit during that period of time and I'm convinced that it assisted with keeping my joints mobile and my muscles "soft", to enable me to have a drug free, natural birthing experience (in conjunction with some antenatal pool classes and some chiropractic care).

I continue to still see my therapist today, as my active toddler means I'm always pushing the limits of my back, but I have managed to get to the point where I've now spaced my appointments out further as my therapy seems to be "holding" well (and the strongest pain relief I now use is the occasional paracetamol). I've also been given exercises to perform at home whenever some other issue has occurred (there's always something unexpected that seems to crop up with running around after children!).

Health Central also has some nifty electronic devices that you can use before/after your treatment with a therapist - I particularly love the "foot massager" unit for a bit of relaxation. Also, as they treat holistically, they naturally have various vitamins and mineral supplements for sale (at quite reasonable prices), though I've never felt pressured into "having" to buy them.

They have HICAPS, so claiming from my health fund is a hassle free transaction.

I cannot recommend Health Central Occupational Therapy highly enough!!!!
