Remedial massage that begins with a short pre-screening intake form. Targeted, evidence-led hands-on work that releases the patterns holding pain in place — woven into the practise so it talks to your training and coaching.
Every remedial massage session starts with the same step: a short pre-screening intake form. It asks about your medical history, current pain, any recent injuries, the medications you're on, and where in the body you want the work focused.
It's the difference between targeted remedial work and a generic massage. By the time you're on the table, we already know what's going on — so the hour is spent working, not asking the same questions for the first ten minutes.

Most sessions are 60 or 90 minutes. 60 minutes is enough for targeted work on one or two areas. 90 minutes is the right length when you're working through pain in multiple regions or want slower, deeper work.
It's remedial — not a relaxation rub. The pressure varies, and the work follows the patterns producing your tension or pain rather than running a generic sequence. Communication during the session is part of the process; you tell us when something's too much, and we adjust.
Because training, massage and coaching live under one practise, the hands-on work doesn't sit in a silo. The patterns being released on the table often inform the next training block. The notes from your sessions travel forward.
The practical questions people ask before booking.
Remedial massage is most effective when the work is targeted. The pre-screening asks about your medical history, current pain, recent injuries and any medications — so the session focuses precisely on what your body actually needs that day, rather than a generic relaxation rub. You complete it before your first session online and we go over it together at the start.
Most sessions run for either 60 or 90 minutes. 60 minutes is enough for targeted work on one or two areas — for example a tight hip and lower back. 90 minutes is better if you're managing pain across multiple areas, or want time for slower, deeper work. We'll suggest a length when you book based on the pre-screening notes.
Remedial. The work is hands-on, evidence-led and aimed at the patterns producing your pain or restriction — not at general unwinding. That said, deep targeted work often leaves people feeling more relaxed than a softer massage, because the underlying tension actually shifts.
Health-fund rebates depend on your individual fund, the practitioner registration recognised by that fund, and the level of cover you hold. Confirm directly with your private health insurer before booking — they'll tell you whether remedial massage is covered under your policy and what their requirements are for claiming.
Remedial work can be intense in spots — particularly when we're working into a long-held pattern — but it should never be sharp pain you have to grit your teeth through. Communication during the session is part of the process: you tell us when something's too much, and we adjust pressure or technique on the fly.
Most people feel looser straight away, sometimes with a little residual soreness over the next day or two as your body settles. Drinking water, walking gently and avoiding heavy training in the 24 hours after a deep session usually helps. We'll talk through after-care notes specific to your session before you leave.
It depends what you're working through. If you're managing chronic tension or pain, a weekly or fortnightly session for a short block usually shifts things faster. Once you're on top of it, monthly is a common maintenance rhythm. We'll suggest a cadence after your first session based on what your body's actually doing.
No pressure, no hard-sell. We talk about how your body is moving right now, what you'd like different, and whether the practise is the right fit.
