What Is Remedial Massage?
Remedial Massage is a therapeutic treatment that addresses the underlying causes of muscular pain and dysfunction. Unlike relaxation massage, remedial therapy involves a thorough assessment to identify problem areas, followed by targeted techniques aimed at promoting healing and restoring mobility. It’s a clinical approach combined with the comfort of a spa experience, delivering both effective results and deep relaxation.
Who It's For
This treatment is ideal for those experiencing persistent neck and shoulder tension, lower back pain, sports injuries, or postural imbalances caused by long hours at a desk. It’s also highly beneficial for individuals recovering from physical strain or surgery, and anyone seeking to enhance their flexibility and overall wellbeing.
The Benefits of Treatment
A remedial massage can reduce chronic pain, improve joint mobility, and support rehabilitation after injuries. Our clients often report feeling lighter, more balanced, and free of tension after their sessions. By improving circulation and releasing tightness, remedial massage can also promote faster healing and reduce stress levels. Health fund rebates are available through HICAPS, making it easier to prioritise your wellbeing.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
Your therapist will begin with a detailed consultation to understand your concerns and develop a tailored treatment plan. Each session typically involves techniques such as deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, and myofascial release, all designed to address specific areas of concern. Depending on your needs, your therapist may also incorporate gentle stretching or joint mobilisation to support recovery and improve movement.
Our priority is to create a comfortable and supportive space where you feel cared for and confident in your treatment. We encourage open communication during your session so adjustments can be made to ensure you feel at ease throughout.
Session Lengths & Pricing
We offer flexible session times to suit your needs and schedule. Choose from 30, 45, 60, 75, or 90-minute treatments, with prices starting at $90. Health fund rebates are available on all remedial massage services, and we offer instant claiming through HICAPS at the time of your appointment. Review our current pricing.

For those seeking an elevated experience, we offer a range of optional enhancements.
