Cindy describes Remedial Massage as “A whole pile of advanced massage techniques designed to find your problem area and gradually remove it from the body. Remedial Massage Therapists are kind of the rockstars of the massage world because they know more about the body, techniques and how to assess what each body needs”

DRY NEEDLING
Paul says “Dry Needling is not Acupuncture...but it does use the same needles. It is a great technique for painfully tight muscles. We use the needles to get the muscle to relax and switch off. You may feel some discomfort associated with the insertion of the needle, and often when the muscle involuntarily twitches however the results are amazing. Ollie, Cindy and myself all have this advanced level of training.”

CORRECTIVE EXERCISE
Miki says “Often our muscles get sore and tight from simply overloading them in our day-to-day activities. Maybe you work at a desk all day and experience shoulder pain, or maybe it’s driving long hours that bothers your back. We can help you out by giving you some simple take home exercises to stop you breaking your body and living more pain free and stronger”

Click here to book onlineQ: How do I know I am going to get a great quality massage?
A: All our therapists are experienced, well qualified (some say ‘over qualified’) and continuing to study everything they can get their hands on about massage and the human body. We do a thorough assessment process so we find out as much as we can about you, your body, your aches and pains and determine what YOU want out of the massage. It’s not about us telling you what’s best, it’s making sure we work together to get the best outcome for you.
Q: Can I claim health fund rebates?
A: Majority of our therapists have their provider numbers with all the major private health funds. Please check the list below before you book so you know who has what. Sometimes when a new therapists joins the team it takes 6 – 8 wks to get their provider numbers….it’s a pain in the butt but something that is out of our control. The invoices we give you have all the appropriate numbers on them so it’s as simple as emailing them into your health fund. All of our therapists are members of our professional massage associations.
All Health Funds – Andrew Lim, Bindi Rice, Cass Kell, Gina Mallia, Irene Sulich, Julie Kim, Mitch Pearse, Oliver Miles, Roxy Logereau.

None – Sue Hawksley

Q: Is there a different cost for Initial Treatments?
A: No but we only accept 60min or 90 consults for a first appointment as we require that period of time to assess well and then get down to some treatment so you come out feeling different…better.
Q: How will I know the treatment has been successful?
A: If massage is right for you, you will feel more relaxed (deeper voice, sleepy, chilled out blissed hippy chick type), have less pain and be able to move more freely. You may feel a bit tender the next day but this is all part of the body healing itself so in 48 hours you should be fantastic.
Q: How often should I book in?
A: Great question! Getting massaged regularly is the best form of treatment. Having one every day would be our idea of heaven however there are restrictions that don’t allow this for everybody. The answer is very different for each person. Some people who are dealing with injuries need maybe 2 x 30 minutes a week until the body heals, other people like it once a week, whilst most would fit into the once a fortnight, three weeks or month. Most of our clients have a regular schedule on the times and days that suit them.
