Techniques Used During Your Massage

During your Remedial Massage or Sports Massage sessions, I may incorporate a variety of advanced techniques to address your specific needs. These techniques are tailored to your condition and are chosen to optimise your treatment outcomes:

    • Who Would Benefit From It: Ideal for those dealing with chronic pain, tension, or reduced mobility.

    • What It Does: This technique involves gentle, sustained pressure to release tightness and restore motion.

By tailoring each session to the specific condition, I aim to provide relief that helps you move better and live more comfortably.

  • During your first appointment, we’ll begin with a 10-15 minute discussion about the reasons you’re here, your case history, and any relevant medical reports you might have. This allows me to tailor the treatment to your specific needs. After this discussion, I’ll conduct a physical assessment to determine the best techniques to use during your session.

  • The frequency of sessions depends on your individual needs and goals. For general maintenance, a session every 4-6 weeks is typical. However, if you’re dealing with an injury or chronic pain, more frequent sessions may be recommended.

  • Yes, I’m accredited with all major health funds. If you have the appropriate level of extras cover, you can claim immediate reimbursement through my HICAPS terminal.

  • It’s best to wear comfortable clothing. For most treatments, you will be asked to undress to your comfort level, and you’ll be covered with a towel during the session.

  • After a massage, it’s common to feel relaxed, and you might experience reduced tension and pain in the treated areas. However, some clients may feel slightly sore, particularly if deep tissue techniques were used. This is a normal response as your muscles adjust to the treatment. To help your body recover, I recommend drinking plenty of water, resting if needed, and avoiding strenuous activities for the rest of the day.
