When recovery takes longer
Training load, sleep and the demands of work all shape how you feel between sessions. Your practitioner looks at them together.
Muscle & Recovery consultations
You still train, but recovery takes longer than it used to. Betterwell is a telehealth clinic. Your muscle and recovery consultation begins live, by video, with a check-in every month after.
- Live consultation
- A check-in every month
- Private and secure
What a muscle and recovery consultation covers.
Perhaps the soreness from Saturday is still there on Tuesday. Or you stepped away from training for a while, and you are unsure how much to ask of your body now. Advice arrives from the gym floor and your feed, and it is hard to see how it fits your week.
Your first consultation is a live conversation with an Australian practitioner, by video. They review your health history first, then your training, sleep and past injuries as one picture. If deemed medically appropriate, you agree a plan together, and a check-in every month follows.
Coming back to movement
Your history and any past injuries come first. Then you talk through the movement you want to return to, at a pace you agree.
A check-in every month
Each month you review your training with your practitioner, live. The next step is yours.

Start with your health assessment.
Begin with the assessment. It takes a few minutes, with no obligation.
What happens in a muscle and recovery consultation?
You meet an Australian practitioner live, by video. They review your health history first, then your training load, your sleep and how you feel between sessions. You also talk through any movement you have set aside. If deemed medically appropriate, you agree a plan. Advice, a referral or no treatment are also possible outcomes.
Is it only an online questionnaire?
A live video consultation always follows the assessment. The questions take a few minutes and help your practitioner prepare. Nothing is decided from your answers alone. Your practitioner reads every answer, then talks it through with you before any next step is discussed.
How much does a muscle and recovery consultation cost?
The initial consultation is $79. If deemed medically appropriate and you continue, the monthly care plan is $59 per month. It covers a live check-in, your progress tracked in one place and a written summary after each check-in. Starting the assessment carries no obligation to book.
How does the monthly care plan work?
Your care runs month to month. Each month you meet your practitioner live by video or phone and review your training and recovery. Between check-ins you can send non-urgent questions. At each check-in you choose to continue, adjust or conclude, and a written summary follows.
Do I need a referral or a scan first?
You can start your assessment directly. A referral or scan is not needed to begin. Bring any scans, reports or physiotherapy notes you already have, as they help your practitioner see your history. If further tests are clinically indicated, your practitioner discusses them with you first. With your consent, a summary of your care can go to your GP.
Does this replace my physiotherapist or GP?
Your practitioner works alongside the care you already have. Your GP and physiotherapist can stay part of your care, and with your consent they receive a summary. When in-person care suits your situation better, your practitioner will say so and can refer you.
What if I have a new or severe injury?
A new or significant injury needs an in-person assessment first. For severe pain or swelling, or if you cannot bear weight, see a GP or go to an emergency department. In an emergency, call 000. Muscle & Recovery consultations suit ongoing conversations about how you train and rest.
