FAQs

If you’re new to BodyLink, it’s normal to have questions. This page covers the most common ones we’re asked about booking, what to expect, and how our non-invasive support works.

If you don’t see your question here, feel free to get in touch.

What happens at my first visit?

What happens will depend on the service you’ve booked. We’ll explain what to expect, take time to understand your concerns, and guide you through the next steps relevant to that service.

Is it invasive or painful?

No. BodyLink’s approaches are designed to be gentle and non-invasive.

How many sessions will I need?

This varies depending on the service and your individual needs. If ongoing support is recommended, we’ll explain the options and what the next steps may look like for you or your child.

Do you offer home programs?

Sometimes, yes. When home support is recommended, we aim to keep it practical and realistic for family life.

What to expect

Services and suitability

Do you diagnose medical conditions, autism, ADHD or dyslexia?

No. BodyLink does not diagnose medical or neurodevelopmental conditions. We provide non-invasive support that can sit alongside care from registered healthcare providers, specialists, schools and other practitioners.

Is BodyLink only for children?

No. We support children, teens and adults. Some BodyLink services are child-focused, while others, including NIS, may be suitable across different ages depending on individual needs.

Can you work alongside other therapists or healthcare providers?

Often, yes. Many people use BodyLink alongside other healthcare, therapy, school or learning support. Where appropriate, we can consider how our support fits alongside what you’re already doing.

Kids and learning support

What types of learning challenges do you see?



We support children experiencing a range of learning and developmental challenges, including difficulties with attention, coordination, reading and writing, learning stamina, regulation, sensory processing and school-related overwhelm.

This can include children with dyslexia, ADHD or other neurodevelopmental differences, as well as children without a formal diagnosis.

Our focus is on understanding the developmental areas that may be adding to the effort involved and identifying the most appropriate support for your child.

Is this tutoring?

No. BodyLink is not a tutoring or specialist literacy service. We support developmental foundations that may influence learning, regulation, coordination and day-to-day functioning, and our support can sit alongside school, tutoring or specialist literacy teaching.

Do you work with teenagers?

Yes. Support is tailored to the young person’s age, individual needs and goals. We work with children and teens across a range of developmental, learning and regulation needs.

Neurological Integration System (NIS)

What is NIS?

NIS stands for Neurological Integration System. It is a gentle, non-invasive approach that looks at how the nervous system is communicating with the rest of the body and helps guide individualised support.

Who is NIS suitable for?

NIS is used with children, teens and adults and is tailored to the individual. People may explore NIS for a range of nervous system, wellbeing, recovery and other health concerns depending on their individual needs.

Do you use NIS for children as well?

Yes. NIS may be used with children where appropriate. We consider the individual child, what they are experiencing and whether NIS is the right fit for their needs.

Learning & Development Program (Reflex Integration)

What is Reflex Integration?

Reflex Integration looks at developmental reflex patterns and the role they may play in movement, coordination, attention and regulation. Where these foundations need extra support, everyday tasks such as learning, sitting still, coordinating movement or managing overwhelm can feel more demanding.

Will my child need to do exercises at home?

Sometimes, yes. Where home activities are recommended, they are designed to reinforce the work being done in sessions. We aim to keep them practical, manageable and realistic for family life.

PBM and Neurosage

What is PBM

PBM (Photobiomodulation) is a non-invasive light-based supportive modality that uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light. At BodyLink, it may be used within an individualised support plan where appropriate.

What is Neurosage?

NeuroSage is a non-invasive, technology-based supporting tool that uses structured visual, auditory and sensory stimulation. It may be used within an individualised plan to support areas such as regulation, attention and nervous system function where appropriate.

Can I book PBM or Neurosage directly?

PBM and NeuroSage are generally used as supportive modalities within a broader BodyLink plan rather than as one-size-fits-all starting points. If you’re specifically interested in either service, get in touch and tell us what you’re hoping to support.

We can discuss whether it may be appropriate for you or your child and how it could fit alongside other BodyLink support.
