What to expect

Your first appointment.

01

Quick health check-in

We start with a short conversation about what you're feeling, where it's worst, and any health changes since your last visit. If something needs a physio's eyes too, we'll tell you.

02

Targeted treatment

Our therapists are remedial-trained, not just relaxation-trained, pressure is firm where you need it, gentler where the body needs care. You can adjust at any time.

03

Aftercare advice

Stretches, hydration, heat or ice, whatever helps you get the most out of your treatment. We claim through HICAPS on the spot.

FAQs

Common questions.

Can I claim massage through my private health fund?

+

Yes, if you have remedial massage cover. Our therapists are all qualified remedial massage therapists registered with the major funds, and we process HICAPS on the spot.

Is pregnancy massage safe in the first trimester?

+

Yes, pregnancy massage is safe in all trimesters when delivered by a trained therapist. We use side-lying positioning from the second trimester onwards and adapt pressure for your stage.

How often should I have remedial massage?

+

It varies. For an acute issue, one or two sessions close together usually settles things. For maintenance, most regular clients come every 3-6 weeks.

Where do your clients come from?

+

Our team works across both clinics. From Currimundi we see clients from Caloundra, Pelican Waters, Kawana Waters, Buddina, Bokarina and Mountain Creek. From Sandstone Point we welcome clients from Bribie Island (Bongaree, Bellara, Banksia Beach, Woorim and White Patch), Ningi, Donnybrook and Toorbul.
