FAQ

What is the difference between remedial massage and deep tissue massage?

Remedial massage focuses on assessing and treating specific muscle pain, injuries, and postural issues using targeted techniques. Deep tissue massage uses firm pressure to release deeper layers of muscle tension and is often helpful for chronic tightness and sports recovery.

What conditions can remedial massage help with?

Remedial massage can help relieve back pain, neck and shoulder tension, muscle tightness, sports injuries, headaches, and posture-related discomfort. It is commonly used for pain relief, injury recovery, and improving mobility.

Is remedial massage covered by private health insurance?

Remedial massage may be eligible for private health fund rebates depending on your level of cover. Please check with your health fund provider to confirm your eligibility. Our practitioners are registered with all Australian Private Health Insurance. Hicaps on-site claiming are also provided for your convenience.

What is dry needling and how does it help muscle pain?

Dry needling is a treatment that uses very fine needles to release tight muscle trigger points. It helps reduce pain, improve muscle function, and support faster recovery from injuries or chronic muscle tension.

What is the difference between acupuncture and dry needling?

Acupuncture is based on traditional Chinese medicine and focuses on restoring balance in the body. Dry needling is based on modern musculoskeletal science and targets trigger points to relieve muscle pain and tightness.

How often should I get a remedial massage?

For general muscle maintenance, many clients book every 3–4 weeks. For injury recovery or chronic pain, weekly or fortnightly treatments may be recommended depending on the condition.
