Initial [75 mins | $215 | Private health code: 500]
Do you have an abdominal scar, including from c-section(s), laparoscopy(s), abdominoplasty, or other? Does it cause you pain, discomfort, pulling or altered sensations? Or are you unhappy with how it looks, or have a 'shelf' above the scar? Do you struggle to engage your abdominal muscles during abdominal exercises? Perhaps you have back pain, ongoing only since your surgery? If you answered 'yes' to even one of those symptoms, this consult type is for you. Let's spend time assessing your scar, and all abdominal muscles in your trunk to see what muscles are firing, and what are struggling to activate, possibly due to scar tissue adhesions. This session includes an assessment, goals, and then thorough treatment including some or all of; massage, myofascial release, breathwork, scar tissue massage, cupping, dry needling, therapeutic ultrasound, and other scar healing advice. I also recommend booking a review appointment for 2 weeks after this consult.

For an out of hours, emergency appointment, please fill out our Mastitis Booking Form & I will get back to you ASAP & hopefully we can make something work. I will always bring my ultrasound machine to these consults & provide you with advice and treatment to hopefully catch it before it worsens.

Cancellation Policy, Terms & Conditions, Informed Choice and Payer Information
By booking an appointment at Port Lincoln Women's Physio, you are agreeing to the following Terms & Conditions:
Late Cancellation Fees
We try to be as flexible as possible, however, any changes to appointments need to be made by 4.30pm the day before the appointment (yes even on a Sunday). If you fail to provide the required notice, you will be charged a ‘late cancellation fee’, to the value of 50% of the consult type you were booked in for. All of our fees are listed on our website. This ‘late cancellation fee’ is not claimable on your private health insurance, and you are required to cover the cost independently. If you cancel/change your appointment prior to 4.30pm the day before, you will not incur any fees. You will be emailed, or posted, an invoice that requires payment within 7 days.
Missed Appointment Fees
If you simply are not at the clinic at the time of your scheduled appointment, or for home visits, if you’re not home or turn us away, without having attempted to cancel earlier via text, email or phone call/voicemail, you will be charged a ‘did not attend fee’, to the value of 100% of the consult type you had booked. Again, this is not claimable on your private health insurance. We will endeavour to make reasonable contact with you, however if we have not heard anything from you after 15 minutes, you will be charged the ‘did not attend fee’. You will be emailed, or posted, an invoice which requires payment within 7 days.
How to pay for your appointment
In the clinic, we have a HICAPs terminal, where we can swipe your Private Health card, and just have to pay the gap on the spot. All funds are accepted in the clinic. If you forget to bring your card, you will need to pay in full either via cash or card, and we will be able to email or post you a copy of the paid invoice for you to claim back manually with your health fund afterwards. If you want to know in advance what your gap will be, you will need to call your health fund directly and quote the item code(s) and our fees that you will find on the Fees page.
If you do not have private health insurance for Physiotherapy, you are required to cover the full price of the consult independently via either card (preferred), bank transfer, or cash. Please note, we do not accept payment via cheques. If you wish to pay in cash, please endeavour to have the correct amount as we do not carry cash for change.
All fees must be paid in full on the day of service.
For home visits, exact cash or bank transfer payment is required as our Hicaps machine needs to stay in the clinic. Any private health rebates for home visits will need to be claimed back manually by the client after the appointment once payment has been made.
No Third Party Payers
We are solely a private service and do not see any clients funded by any third party. Third parties include Return to Work SA, DVA, MVA, NDIS, My Aged Care, and the like. This also includes Medicare EPC/TCA scheme clients.
Terms & Conditions
By booking an appointment with Port Lincoln Women's Physio, you are agreeing to the above Cancellation Policy & Terms & Conditions. You acknowledge that these fees, policies and terms may be changed without notice.
