Using Your Private Health Cover Before Your Private Health Limits Reset
Many of us review our private health cover each year and wonder whether it’s worth keeping. For some, it’s like insurance for emergencies. For others, it’s essential for staying healthy and active.
Most health funds reset your private health limits on January 1st. Any unused benefits are lost. Unfortunately, many people wait until pain becomes severe, often requiring more treatment and exceeding their limits.
Top-level private health cover often includes low or no-gap physiotherapy, podiatry, clinical nutrition, and physiotherapy bikefit sessions. These services support injury management, prevention and overall health.
With only a few weeks left in the year, now is the best time to maximise your private health limits with the expert team at Star Physio.

Tara West knows Best – the truth about muscle soreness
We all know the feeling. You just smashed a really hard workout, you increased your weights in the gym, or you returned to volleyball training after taking the Summer off. You feel great – until you wake up the next morning, and you can barely move! Delayed onset...
Tara West Knows Best – the Side Plank with Isometric Clam
I love this exercise. Not only does it work the obliques (which are important for generating power with spiking and serving), but it also strengthens the shoulders, back and glutes too. Being strong through these muscle groups will not only help to reduce the risk of...
