How does it work?

I tailor each individual treatment to each client. An assessment to begin with, listen to the clients input on pain/tension/observations, and apply techniques depending on the type of tightness or tenderness. Client feedback is essential during and after the session.

Not much has changed since covid-19, as I have always followed strict hygiene protocol. Washing/sanitising our hands on arrival and during if needed. I advise you wash or shower where possible pre/post treatment.

I am Disinfecting with diluted 70% alcohol grade on all surfaces between clients, I use single use towels for each client which are then washed on a 40degree hot water cycle, gloves and mask are optional-you tell me what makes you confident and comfortable and I will happily comply if I haven’t already achieved your hygiene standard.

Oils, sorbolene and pump action bottles used only. Unlike other clinics who use balms that seems to be a double dipping of hand to client to the next client! Eeew!!

Asked
Questions

See More FAQs

Can I still come for a massage if I am pregnant?

We have a therapeutic pillow to use for stomach/side lying so absolutely yes!

I'm post operation, can I still hire you?

A letter from your doctor is essential but we can adjust table height and comfort using props, so yes!

Health Fund Claims / HiCaps

You will be able to claim from the clinic on the spot, and then claim manually from all mobile/temp clinic treatments. Provider numbers are written on receipt on the day of the treatment. Clients then contact their health fund to claim via app/phone or in person.

How often should I get a massage?

Everyone is different and depends on the issue… Our advice is;

Acute injury? Sometimes 2/3 days later or at the most a week to follow up on the 1st massage.

Chronic or aiming for a maintenance; 7-10days, then 14-21 days, then 30+ days. This way you can let your body tell you. If you feel the body’s old patterns returning, then book just prior to that feeling. Once maintaining (approx 5 + treatments) I often recommend 90mins fortnightly or monthly, as this way there are less appointments, enough time to treat the whole body and you left to feel amazing for longer.

What do I wear?

Underwear that is comfortable and what level of clothes removal down to underwear all depends on you. We may have to move you around so its not uncommon to leave the bra on. Full covering towel techniques are maintained always during the clinic.

Dry needles…what are they?

We always use a once only use, sterilized needle that are disposed of in a sharps container after use.

Needles are the same as what an Acupuncturist uses but we aim for the belly of the muscle or trigger points to alleviate muscle pain and possible dysfunction.

You can totally decline of the use of needles in your treatment!
