It is an effective, results-driven treatment for chronic muscular pain, injury rehabilitation, sporting and occupational injuries, RSI, and both physical and mental fatigue.

Remedial Massage FAQs

How long should my session be?
A 60-minute session is recommended for remedial work, giving us time to properly assess, treat and diagnose your symptoms in the one visit.
Can I claim on my health fund?
Yes. HICAPS is available on-site, so most major private health fund rebates can be claimed on the spot — you pay only the gap.
