Looking for physio but worried about the cost? With XPhysio Frenchs Forest being part of HCF’s More for Muscles program, you can see one of our experienced physiotherapists for a no-gap initial consultation. Read on to see how this powerful benefit could get you back on track—fast.
Struggling With Aches or Pains? Here’s Why You Shouldn’t Wait
When something hurts—whether it’s your back, neck, shoulder or knees—it’s tempting to wait it out and hope it gets better on its own. But let’s face it: most of the time, it doesn’t. That’s where physiotherapy steps in, offering hands-on treatment and tailored rehab to help you move better, feel stronger and live pain-free.
The good news? If you’re with HCF and have extras cover, you may not need to pay a cent for your first session.
That’s right—thanks to the HCF More for Muscles program, eligible members can access an initial consultation with one of our experienced physios with no out-of-pocket cost.

What is the More for Muscles Program?
The More for Muscles initiative is HCF’s way of helping members prioritise their musculoskeletal health. It allows anyone with eligible extras cover to receive a fully covered initial physio consult at participating clinics—like ours.
There’s no catch. No paperwork. No complicated process. Just book in, swipe your card and get started on your journey to feeling better.
What You Get in That First Session:
- A full assessment of your issue or injury
- Diagnosis and education on what’s going on
- Hands-on treatment (if appropriate)
- A tailored rehab or exercise plan
- Advice on prevention strategies
Whether it’s a lingering niggle, a sports injury, or just some stiffness from sitting too long at work—this first session is your gateway to getting back on track.
Why Early Physio Matters
We often see patients who wait until pain gets unbearable before they reach out. But studies show that early intervention leads to faster recovery and fewer chronic issues. In fact, research from the Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA) shows that people who begin physio early for lower back pain recover quicker and have lower healthcare costs in the long run [1].
By taking advantage of a no-gap appointment, you’re essentially removing the financial hesitation that often causes delays in care.
And with Oliver Docker and our experienced team, you’re in safe hands.
Real Patient Success Story: Meet Sam from Frenchs Forest
Sam found us online while searching for “HCF no gap physio Frenchs Forest” after experiencing sharp lower back pain while lifting her toddler. She had been ignoring it for weeks, thinking it was just “mum life” catching up. But when it started affecting her sleep and ability to drive, she decided it was time to do something.
Through the HCF More for Muscles program, Sam booked her initial consultation with us at no cost. In that session, we uncovered that her back pain stemmed from gluteal weakness and tight hip flexors—a common postnatal issue.
We created a program tailored to her lifestyle and gradually restored her movement and strength through:
- Gentle manual therapy
- Core activation and control training
- Glute strengthening exercises
- Advice on lifting and posture around the house
After 5 sessions, Sam was back to doing school drop-offs and lifting her little one with confidence. She was so inspired by the progress that she joined Plus Fitness Frenchs Forest and now regularly strength trains to keep her back strong and her pain at bay.
She’s become one of our many More for Muscles success stories—and she’s not looking back.
