A quick assessment
We ask where it hurts and what makes it worse, then check how you move.
Targeted treatment
Firm, specific work on the muscles involved, at a pressure you're comfortable with.
Something to take home
A stretch or two and advice on posture or training load, where it helps.
Know when to refer
If something needs a GP or physio, we'll tell you rather than keep treating.

Today five remedial massage therapists, each holding the national Diploma of Remedial Massage, work out of a quiet clinic with street parking.

What Locals Say
I'm a tradie and my lower back was cooked after a big month on site. Two sessions in, I could bend down to my toolbox without wincing. Claimed on my health fund, so the gap was small.
Booked before my first half marathon and again the week after. They knew exactly how hard to go each time and gave me a couple of stretches that actually helped.
Office job, tight neck, headaches by Friday. My therapist found the spots, explained what was going on and showed me how to set up my screen. I've been fortnightly for a year.

Remedial Massage FAQ
Can I claim remedial massage on my health fund?
Most Australian health funds offer a rebate for remedial massage on extras cover, as long as the therapist is a recognised provider with your fund. How much you get back depends on your fund and level of cover, so check your policy. Bring your card and we'll claim on the spot where your fund allows.
What's the difference between remedial and relaxation massage?
Remedial massage starts with an assessment and targets a specific problem, like a sore lower back or tight neck. Relaxation massage is lighter and aimed at unwinding. Only remedial and sports massage are usually claimable.
Do I need a referral?
No. You can book directly. If your GP or physio has given you notes, bring them along.
Will it hurt?
Remedial massage can feel firm, but it shouldn't be painful. Tell your therapist if the pressure is too much. Some soreness the next day is normal.
What should I wear?
Whatever's comfortable. You'll undress to your comfort level and stay covered with towels, with only the area being treated uncovered.
What's your cancellation policy?
Free changes up to 24 hours before your appointment. Late cancellations and no-shows may be charged the full fee, since that time can't be offered to someone else.
