Your appointment begins with a brief consultation to discuss your health history, any areas of pain or tension, and your treatment goals. This helps tailor the massage treatment to your individual needs.

You'll then be given privacy to get comfortable on the massage table. During the treatment, only the area being worked on will be uncovered, with the rest of your body professionally draped for your comfort and privacy.

Throughout the session, you're encouraged to communicate about pressure, comfort, or any concerns so the treatment can be adjusted to suit you. After your massage, I'll provide any relevant aftercare advice to help you get the most benefit from your treatment.

Sessions are priced per clinic and session length, with a $99 60-minute morning offer currently available weekdays at South Yarra and Bentleigh East.

No referral is required. You can book online directly at any of the three clinics or enquire for a mobile session.

Here is a blog I’ve written to guide you on what to expect on your first remedial massage appointment.

Sports massage is built around performance — preparing muscles before activity or aiding recovery after it.

Remedial massage takes a more clinical approach, assessing and treating a specific injury or area of chronic tension. Many sessions combine both, tailored to what your body needs on the day.

I’ll do my best to accommodate same-day appointments whenever possible. However, to guarantee your preferred date and time, I recommend booking in advance. Same-day availability depends on my schedule and cannot always be guaranteed.

Yes, most clients are active professionals, not professional athletes. The same techniques used with AFL and A-League players work just as well for anyone managing tension, poor posture, or recovering from day-to-day strain.

What to wear to a remedial massage: Loose, comfortable clothing is fine for getting to and from your appointment. You'll typically undress to your comfort level for treatment, with draping towels used to keep you covered throughout.

If you're unsure, feel free to ask when booking.
