Your first visit
What happens, from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave.
Most people arrive not quite knowing what to expect. That's fine; it's part of what the first visit is for. This page walks you through exactly what happens, so you can come in with nothing to worry about.
Before you come in
There's nothing you need to prepare, bring, or do beforehand. No forms to download, no referral required, no need to stop any other care you're receiving. Just book a time and arrive.
First visits are available on Wednesday afternoons and Thursday mornings. If these don't suit, get in touch and Dr Euan will do his best to accommodate you.
How long
Allow approximately 60 minutes for your first visit. Follow-up visits are shorter, typically 10 to 15 minutes.
What to wear
Something comfortable. Loose clothing makes the assessment easier, though coming straight from the office is perfectly fine.
Referral
None needed. You can book directly, without a GP referral or specialist letter.
Fees
Private health extras may apply depending on your fund. Fees and health funds
When you arrive
The practice is at Suite 301, Level 3, 185 Elizabeth Street, opposite Hyde Park and a short walk from Town Hall, St James, and Gadigal Metro stations.
When you come in, you'll be welcomed and given a short health history form to complete. It covers your reason for visiting, any relevant medical history, and what you're hoping for. It takes around five minutes and helps Dr Euan prepare for your conversation.
The conversation
The first thing Dr Euan will do is sit down with you and listen. He'll ask about what brought you in, whether that's a specific pain, a persistent feeling, something a GP mentioned, or simply a sense that your body isn't quite right. He'll ask about your history: what you've tried before, how long things have been the way they are, and how you'd like to feel.
There are no wrong answers and nothing you need to minimise or explain away. Some people arrive with a diagnosis; many arrive with a feeling. Both are a valid place to begin. This conversation typically takes fifteen to twenty minutes, and it shapes everything that follows.
The assessment
Once Dr Euan has a clear picture of your history and goals, he'll carry out a spinal and nervous system assessment. You'll remain fully clothed throughout.
The assessment looks at how your spine is moving, where tension patterns are being held, and how your nervous system is currently responding, using gentle touch and observation. He's looking for the story your body is telling, alongside the one you've just described. Often the two align. Sometimes the body is holding something the person hasn't consciously connected to.
Your first session
In most cases, Dr Euan will offer a gentle hands-on session in the same visit. You'll lie on a padded table, fully clothed, while he makes a series of light, precise contacts along the spine, at the neck, the tailbone, and other key points. The contacts are gentle and comfortable.
These contacts aren't pushing the body into a new position. They're more like a precise signal: an invitation for the nervous system to notice where it's been holding tension and begin, at its own pace, to let it go. Some people notice a deepening of the breath or a softening through the shoulders; others notice very little. Brief pauses between contacts give your body time to respond.
After the session
Dr Euan will check in with you at the end and let you know what he observed: where your nervous system is holding tension, how it responded during the session, and what he'd suggest as next steps. He'll give you an honest picture of what a course of care might look like for your situation. You're not committed to anything; it's information to help you decide what's right for you.
Some people notice something in the hours after their first visit; others notice very little at first. Both are completely normal. If you can, a quiet afternoon or evening afterwards is a nice idea.
A note on the two approaches
Network Spinal
The signature approach here. It's gentle, comfortable and precise, working with the nervous system through light contacts along the spine.
Gentle manual adjusting
Available for people who prefer more traditional chiropractic. It's always performed with care and your full agreement, and can be used alongside Network Spinal where appropriate.
Your first visit is the conversation that determines which, or which combination, makes sense for you. Dr Euan will listen to what you want, explain what he thinks would help, and only proceed with your full understanding and agreement.
Common questions
Do I need a referral?
No. You can book directly. No GP referral or specialist letter is required.
Will it hurt?
The care at WellWellWell Sydney is designed to be gentle and comfortable. Network Spinal uses light, precise contacts, and everything is explained before it happens.
I've had a bad experience with chiropractic before. Is this different?
It's likely to feel very different. Network Spinal is gentle and comfortable, using light, precise contacts along the spine. Please mention your previous experience when you arrive; Dr Euan will take it seriously.
Do I need to undress?
No. You remain fully clothed throughout the assessment and the session.
How long will the whole visit take?
Allow approximately 60 minutes for your first visit. Follow-up visits are shorter, typically 10 to 15 minutes.
When are first visits available?
First visits are available on Wednesday afternoons and Thursday mornings. Get in touch if these don't suit and Dr Euan will do his best to accommodate you.
Can I bring someone with me?
Of course. You're welcome to bring a partner, friend, or family member.
Ready when you are
There's no obligation after the first visit and nothing you need to decide in advance. Just come in, have the conversation, and see how it feels.
