Frequently Pondered
-
Do you accept private health rebates?
Yes! As a qualified Remedial Massage Therapist, I am registered with most major private health funds.
Rebates depend on your individual health fund and level of cover. I recommend checking with your provider before booking to confirm your eligibility.
Please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions.
-
How often should I get a massage?
This depends on your individual needs, lifestyle and treatment goals.
For general maintenance and wellbeing, many clients find a monthly massage beneficial. However, if you’re managing an injury, chronic pain or a specific condition, more frequent appointments may be recommended initially.
Together, we can establish a treatment schedule that suits your needs and supports your long-term wellbeing.
-
How long an appointment should I book?
A 60-minute appointment is suitable for most standard treatments.
If you have multiple areas of concern or would like a more comprehensive treatment, I recommend booking a longer appointment.
For new clients, allowing additional time for assessment, discussion and treatment planning should be taken into consideration.
-
What type of treatment is best for me?
Remedial Massage Therapy is suitable for muscular tension, pain, restricted movement, injury recovery and general maintenance. Treatment techniques are selected according to your individual assessment and needs.
Lymphoedema Therapy focuses on managing swelling associated with lymphatic dysfunction and certain circulatory conditions. It may be appropriate if you’re experiencing persistent swelling, heaviness or discomfort in your limbs.
If you’re unsure which treatment to book, please get in touch and I’ll help guide you towards the most appropriate option.
-
Is there anything I need to do after my treatment?
After your treatment, I may recommend specific stretches, exercises or self-care strategies to help maintain the benefits of your session.
Staying adequately hydrated and allowing your body time to recover are also encouraged.
Some people experience temporary tenderness following deeper soft tissue treatment or dry needling. This generally settles within a day or two.
If you’re receiving lymphoedema therapy, you may also be given specific advice regarding movement, compression and ongoing swelling management.
-
Do i need to shower before my appointment?
There’s no need to shower immediately before your appointment, provided you’re reasonably clean.
For hygiene and comfort, please arrive free from excessive dirt, sand, sunscreen or other products that may interfere with treatment.
Your comfort is important, so please don’t hesitate to ask if you have any concerns before your appointment.
