• For new clients and new presenting concerns, consultation and relevant assessment should take place before treatment.

  Your therapist may ask about your health history, current symptoms, areas of muscular discomfort, physical activity and treatment goals before determining an appropriate treatment approach.

If you are unsure which treatment is appropriate, you do not need to diagnose the problem yourself.

Explain your presenting concern to your therapist. Following consultation and relevant assessment, they can determine a suitable treatment approach within their qualifications and professional scope.

Remedial Massage is an assessment-led treatment focused on a particular muscular, soft-tissue or movement-related concern. Several therapeutic techniques may be used depending on the client's presentation.

Deep Tissue Therapeutic Treatment refers to slower, firmer techniques used to work with deeper muscular tightness.

Deep tissue techniques may also form part of a remedial treatment when clinically appropriate.

Eligible Remedial Massage appointments may qualify for private health fund rebates when the treating therapist and booked treatment meet your insurer's requirements.

Coverage varies between policies, so clients should confirm eligibility directly with their health fund.

No.

Deeper treatment may feel firm or intense in areas of muscular tightness, but excessive pain is not required for an effective therapeutic treatment.

Pressure should be adjusted according to your comfort, tissue response and treatment goals.

Not necessarily.

The therapist should consider relevant health history, medications, skin conditions and other factors before treatment. Cupping can also produce temporary circular skin discolouration, which should be discussed before treatment.

Yes.

Targeted regional treatments are available. However, new, unexplained or significant symptoms should first be discussed with your therapist so an appropriate treatment approach can be determined.

Treatment duration depends on the service selected and current booking availability.

Different treatments may be available in 30-minute, 45-minute, 60-minute, 90-minute or longer appointment options.
