I opened my first clinic at 19. 35 years later, I still do this work because I still see people walk out with less pain than they walked in with. That's the only part of the job that hasn't changed. I'm Benjamin Setter, Pain Specialist and founder of Setter's Pain Relief in Townsville. Initial consultations are 90 minutes and by personal phone suitability check only. Please complete a brief suitability message bellow with your mobile number, and I'll call you for a 5-minute chat. If we proceed, Power Diary will send you SMS reminders.
Pain, whether you describe it as chronic, an ache, soreness or discomfort, can make daily life harder.
At Setter’s Pain Relief in Townsville, Benjamin Setter offers non-invasive, non-pharmaceutical musculoskeletal therapy services. Benjamin opened his first clinic at 19 and has been in practice for 35 years. His studies include high distinctions in anatomy and physiology.
Benjamin provides a 90-minute initial consultation which includes an assessment, discussion of your history and goals, and time for gentle hands-on therapy tailored to how you present on the day. Where appropriate, he may also discuss general self-care strategies and behavioural approaches to support your comfort.
He personally speaks to every new client by phone before booking to understand your situation and to decide if his service may be suitable. He works alongside your existing care team, including your GP, and does not replace medical care.
Practical information: Consultations are 90 minutes and are private billing. We are not HICAPS enabled. At this time private health funds no longer provide rebates for my modality, along with around 30 other natural therapy modalities, so my provider number is not currently active. Receipts can be provided for your own records.
Knowing that this work restores quality of life is the greatest reward. It’s why I do what I do. If you are sitting on the fence about seeking help, I hope reading these beautiful 5-star reviews below gives you the comfort to take that next step.
Appointments are by online booking via Power Diary after your initial phone check. Self-referrals are welcome, and you are also welcome to continue care with your GP and other health practitioners.

35 Years of Pain Relief: My Journey to Becoming Townsville’s Community Pain Specialist
In 2002 I was first named Pain Specialist by the Townsville Sun. Then for my Silver Jubilee – my 25 years – I was honoured with a celebration of the thousands of people I have helped in Townsville and surrounds, and at that celebration I was given the title of Community Pain Specialist. It is a great honour to have received that title, and with much honour and pride I continue to help the people of Townsville.
I opened this place when I was 19, 35 years later I am still doing this incredible work. Even though the clients have changed and the premises have changed and Australia itself has changed, the one thing that hasn’t changed is that people get up from my table with pain relief.
I offer gentle, holistic, no-oils pain relief therapy that looks at your whole body, not just where it hurts. I will need to speak to you personally to understand your pain.
Pain relief is what I do. It is an honour to be your Pain Specialist of Townsville.
